Maximize Uptime: 4 Essential Maintenance Tips for Your Recycling Line

Keep your profitable and sustainable recycling operation running smoothly! Here are four key tips from the Polytec team:

Cleaning & Inspection

Daily: Remove buildup. Weekly: Inspect blades, screens, and wear parts. Catching small issues prevents major breakdowns.

Lubrication & Drive Systems

Follow the schedule for lubricating all moving parts. Proper alignment and lubrication reduce friction, save energy, and prevent mechanical failure.

Electrical & Control Systems
Keep control cabinets sealed and clean. Routinely check sensors, wiring, and safety interlocks for consistent quality and safety.

Strategic PM Schedule
Implement a schedule to replace high-wear parts (before they fail). Planned downtime is always better than an unexpected breakdown.

Invest in maintenance, not just repairs! What part of your line requires the most attention?
