Common Hydraulic Problems in the Recycling Industry
Because recycling requires hydraulic equipment, hydraulic issues are common with the machines used in the operation. Some common hydraulic problems recyclers experience include:
- Hydraulic Fluid Leaks:
Worn seals, damaged hoses, or loose fittings can cause fluid leaks, leading to pressure loss, messy work areas, slipping hazards, and lower system efficiency.
- Overheating:
Continuous use without proper cooling, low fluid levels, or contaminated oil can cause reduced performance, fluid breakdown, and accelerated wear on pumps and valves.
- Fluid Contamination:
Dirt, metal shavings, or moisture entering the hydraulic system through worn seals or improper maintenance can cause clogged filters, valve sticking, and pump damage.
- Trapped Air:
Leaks on the suction side of the pump or low fluid levels lead to noisy operation, jerky movements, and reduced force.
- Pressure Malfunctions: Often occur due to human error or worn relief valves and can cause inconsistent compression, equipment strain, or damaged components.
Miller Hydraulic provides repairs for all types of common and complex hydraulic issues. Our technicians will work with your team to diagnose the problem and provide long-term solutions for your operation.
