When purchasing complete used fixed crusher plants, adhering to rigorous inspection protocols is essential to ensure quality, functionality, and value. Below are inspection steps and guidelines that can help ensure the quality and reliability of the equipment:
1. Legal Documentation and History
- Ownership Verification: Verify legal ownership of the equipment to ensure the seller has the right to sell the crusher plant.
- Service Records: Request maintenance and service history to understand how well the equipment has been maintained.
- Age and Usage: Determine the age of the plant and the hours of operation to estimate wear and tear.
- Operating Permits: Check for any region-specific legality regarding emissions or operational permits.
2. Visual Inspection
- Structure Integrity: Inspect the frame, chassis, and supporting structures for corrosion, cracks, or bending.
- Wear Parts: Check for worn-out jaws, cones, hammers, or screens that might require immediate replacement.
- Belts and Conveyor Systems: Assess belts for tears, fraying, or improper alignment.
- Hydraulics: Examine pipes, seals, and hydraulic systems for leaks or deterioration.
3. Mechanical and Functional Inspection
- Crusher Components: Evaluate the main crushing mechanism (jaw plates, cone crushers, hammers, etc.) for wear and operational efficiency.
- Motors and Drives: Test motor performance, including noise levels, vibration, and overheating.
- Bearings and Lubrication: Check bearings for noise or wear and ensure proper lubrication systems are intact.
- Gearbox: Inspect the gearbox for wear, broken gears, or lubricant leaks.
- Vibratory Feeders and Screens: Test feeder systems and screens for proper operation and alignment.
4. Electrical Components
- Control Systems: Assess the control panel and automation systems for functional issues or outdated technology.
- Wiring and Connections: Inspect all electrical wiring, connections, and components for damage, fraying, or poor installation.
5. Operational Testing
- Trial Run: Conduct a test run to ensure the crusher plant operates correctly under load.
- Noise and Vibration: Check for unusual noise or vibrations during operation, which may indicate underlying issues.
- Output Quality: Examine crushed material to verify the desired product size and uniformity.
6. Environmental and Safety Checks
- Systémy potlačení prachu: Ensure dust control measures are operational to meet safety and environmental regulations.
- Emission Systems: Confirm compliance with applicable emission standards.
- Safety Features: Check emergency stop controls, guards, and safety switches.
7. Spare Parts and Support
- Spare Parts Availability: Confirm the availability of spare parts and determine if any parts need replacement soon.
- Manufacturer Support: Check if the manufacturer or seller offers technical support or warranties.
8. Financial Evaluation
- Market Value: Compare the plant’s price against the market value for similar used equipment in terms of age, capacity, and condition.
- Estimated Repair Costs: Consider if repair or replacement of components may add significant costs post-purchase.
9. Seller Reputation
- Reviews and References: Research the seller’s reputation, customer reviews, and experience in the industry.
- Inspection by Experts: Employ professional inspection services or industry experts to ensure you are making an informed decision.
By following these protocols, the risk of purchasing defective or unreliable equipment can be minimized, ensuring the crusher plant meets your operational needs effectively.
