This article focuses on the problems such as blade jams, material adhesion and accumulation on the drum wall, and hydraulic system failures caused by improper equipment maintenance when self-loading mixer trucks handle high-viscosity materials. It details three core maintenance points: optimizing the gap between the blades and the drum wall, specifying the gap standards for different material types (recommended ≤5mm for high-viscosity materials) and adjustment steps to avoid material residue and accumulation due to excessive gaps; a regular cleaning plan, including the process of high-pressure water flushing the drum wall and blades after daily work, the method of in-depth disassembly and cleaning of dead corners every week, and the skills of selecting special cleaning agents for stubbornly adhered materials; inspection of the hydraulic and braking systems, formulating a daily pre-start process for pressure value detection, oil quantity check, and pipeline sealing inspection, and focusing on overhauling the wear of braking components every week. It also provides common fault warning signals and quick treatment plans, helping construction parties reduce equipment jam and downtime frequency through standardized maintenance, extend equipment service life, and reduce maintenance costs and construction delay risks.

Comprehensive Guide to Daily Maintenance of Self-Loading Mixer Trucks for High-Viscosity Materials Anti-Jamming

When self-loading mixer trucks handle high-viscosity materials, improper equipment maintenance can lead to various problems such as blade jamming, material adhesion and accumulation on the cylinder wall, and hydraulic system failures. In this guide, we will break down three core maintenance points in detail to help engineering companies reduce equipment jamming and downtime, extend equipment service life, and lower maintenance costs and construction delay risks through standardized maintenance.

Optimization of Blade and Cylinder Wall Clearance

The clearance between the blade and the cylinder wall is crucial for preventing material residue and accumulation. Different material types require different clearance standards. For high-viscosity materials, it is recommended that the clearance be ≤5mm. Here are the adjustment steps:

  1. Identify the material type being used.
  2. Measure the current clearance between the blade and the cylinder wall.
  3. If the clearance is larger than the recommended value, adjust the blade position according to the equipment's adjustment mechanism.
  4. Re-measure the clearance to ensure it meets the standard.

Regular Cleaning Plan

Regular cleaning is essential to prevent material adhesion and accumulation. Here is a detailed cleaning plan:

Frequency Cleaning Method
Daily After each day's work, use high-pressure water to flush the cylinder wall and blades thoroughly. This can effectively remove most of the adhered materials.
Weekly Conduct a deep disassembly cleaning to reach the dead corners. For stubbornly adhered materials, select a suitable special cleaning agent according to the material properties.

Inspection of Hydraulic and Braking Systems

The hydraulic and braking systems are the key components of the self-loading mixer truck. Regular inspections can prevent potential failures. Here is the inspection process:

Frequency Inspection Items
Daily Before starting the machine each day, check the pressure value, oil level, and pipeline tightness of the hydraulic system. For the braking system, also check the oil level and pipeline tightness.
Weekly Focus on inspecting the wear of braking components. If any abnormal wear is found, replace the components in time. Also, be aware of common failure warning signals such as abnormal noises or pressure fluctuations, and have a quick - handling plan ready.

By following these maintenance guidelines, engineering companies can significantly improve the performance and reliability of their self-loading mixer trucks when dealing with high-viscosity materials. Don't let equipment failures disrupt your projects. Take action now!
