Ensure Your Investment Delivers with MEVAS Expertise
Purchasing a used crushing and screening plant can be a cost-effective way to expand your operations. However, the wrong purchase can lead to costly downtime, unexpected repairs, or even project delays. That’s why a thorough inspection before you buy is critical. At MEVAS, we understand the nuances of evaluating heavy machinery, and our global network of specialized inspectors ensures you make informed decisions.
Here’s what to focus on when inspecting used crushing and screening equipment – and how MEVAS can help.
Key Areas to Inspect in Crushing and Screening Equipment
- Wear and Tear on Key Components
Crushing and screening plants are workhorses, processing tons of material daily. Check the wear on critical components like jaws, cones, screens, crusher inlays and blow bars. Excessive wear may indicate that the machine has been overused or improperly maintained. - Structural Integrity
Cracks or damage in the frame, chassis, or conveyors can compromise the plant’s performance and safety. Pay attention to the welds, bolts, and mounting points. Structural issues can be costly to repair and might not always be apparent without professional evaluation. - Functionality of Hydraulic Systems
Smooth operation of hydraulic systems is vital for the efficient functioning of conveyors, crushers, and screens. Leaks, unusual noises, or inconsistent pressure readings are red flags that should not be ignored. - Engine and Power Systems
Engines power most crushing and screening plants, and their condition is a key indicator of the equipment’s lifespan. Inspect for leaks, excessive smoke, and irregular noise, and review the maintenance history to ensure proper servicing. - Maintenance and Service Records
Documentation reveals how well the equipment has been cared for. Inconsistent service or missing maintenance logs can signal neglect, leading to premature wear and potential breakdowns.
Performance Under Load
Testing the machine in operation is critical. Idle equipment might look perfect, but only a live test can confirm its capabilities. Ensure it performs efficiently and without unexpected interruptions.
