How to properly maintain the cutting teeth of a rotary excavator?
The cutting tooth of a rotary excavator is an indispensable accessory on a rotary excavator, which has a significant impact on the working efficiency and service life of the excavator. Proper maintenance and upkeep of the cutting teeth of rotary excavators can not only extend their service life, but also improve their work efficiency. Below, we will introduce some methods for properly maintaining the cutting teeth of rotary excavators.
Before installing the cutting teeth, carefully clean the residue at the excavation bucket mouth to ensure that there are no impurities between the cutting teeth and the surface of the excavation bucket mouth. Then use the correct tools to firmly install the cutting teeth on the excavation bucket mouth, ensuring that the cutting teeth fully match the excavation bucket mouth. During installation, attention should be paid to the uniform distribution of force to avoid excessive or uneven stress, which may cause damage to the cutting teeth.
The correct use of cutting teeth is the key to maintaining them. When using a rotary excavator for excavation operations, appropriate types of cutting teeth should be selected based on geological conditions and appropriate working parameters should be set. For harder geological conditions, hard alloy cutting teeth can be chosen, and for softer geological conditions, steel cutting teeth can be chosen. During use, direct collision between the cutting teeth and high hardness objects should be avoided to avoid excessive impact force on the cutting teeth.
Regular maintenance and upkeep of the cutting teeth is also an important part of maintaining the cutting teeth. Cutting teeth are vulnerable parts, and after a period of use, the wear of the cutting teeth will gradually increase. At this time, new cutting teeth should be replaced in a timely manner. When replacing the cutting teeth, a suitable cutting tooth model should be selected and special tools should be used for replacement. At the same time, before replacing the cutting teeth, the bucket mouth should be cleaned to ensure the installation quality of the new cutting teeth. In addition, regularly check and adjust the clearance between the cutting teeth to avoid excessive friction between the cutting teeth, which can lead to increased wear of the cutting teeth.
Maintaining the cleanliness and lubrication of the cutting teeth is also an important part of maintaining the cutting teeth. During use, the cutting teeth will be corroded by substances such as mud and sand, which will accelerate the wear of the cutting teeth and reduce their work efficiency. Therefore, the cutting teeth should be cleaned in a timely manner to remove mud, sand, and other substances attached to the cutting teeth. In addition, regularly lubricate the cutting teeth and apply suitable lubricants to the surface of the cutting teeth to reduce friction and wear.
Properly storing the pick is also a part of maintaining the pick. When resting or not using the rotary excavator for a long time, the cutting teeth should be removed and stored properly. The cutting teeth should be stored in a dry and ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and soaking in rainwater. In addition, the cutting teeth should be placed on a flat surface to avoid being compressed and deformed by external forces.
In short, proper maintenance of the cutting teeth of the rotary excavator is an important link to ensure its normal operation. By correctly installing, using, maintaining, and storing the cutting teeth, their service life can be extended, work efficiency can be improved, and maintenance costs can be reduced. Therefore, when using rotary excavators in daily life, attention should be paid to the maintenance of the cutting teeth and the above methods should be followed for operation.
