Posted by generalkinematics on June 20, 2008

In the explosive market of C&D debris recovery, there are many companies that now offer complete C&D recycling
systems. Before you buy, do your research. Find out about maintenance issues, equipment durability, recovery percentages, and other factors that could cost you down the road. Ask that the manufacturer take youto see their systems in operation, and talk to the operators of those systems to learn what they like and dislike. Proper equipment
selection will be the difference between a successful operation or a failure. Up front homework will allow you to know what you are getting into before you buy.

Keep your equipment clean.

Posted by generalkinematics on June 20, 2008

Nothing wears equipment out faster than dirt and debris. In the C&D environment, it is especially important to inspect your equipment daily to make sure no materials are lodged in locations that may damage your equipment.

Following recommended maintenance schedules also significantly contributes to extended machine uptime. Keep bearings properly greased, belts at the proper tightness, and vibratory equipment properly lubed and tuned. Taking a few minutes per day to check your equipment can lead to hours of profitable business down the road.
