How to clear crane sludge?

How to clear the crane sludge is one of the important procedures in the maintenance of lifting equipment. Crane sludge is the sludge formed in the area where dust encounters oil vapor or water vapor during crane operation. There is a risk of spontaneous combustion if the sludge adheres to the crane, as well as accelerated damage or aging of crane components.

The following describes how to clear the sludge.

First, use a brush to remove the dust and other debris from the outside of the crane, and then spray the cleaning agent evenly on the place with sludge.
When spraying, be careful to avoid areas such as wires and electrical appliances. When these sensitive areas also need to be cleaned of sludge, you can use a cloth dampened with cleaning agent to wipe it off.
After spraying the cleaning agent, in order to let the cleaning agent completely decompose the sludge, it is best to wait for five minutes before brushing with a brush. At this time, the sludge is easily dissolved and brushed off, and then rinsed with clean water.
Finally, after the crane parts are dried, spray the care agent. For the crane after removing the sludge, since the parts are basically cooled down at this time, in order to avoid the impact of the cleaning agent on the surface of the parts, it is best to stop for a period of time before using it.

Whether you are using an Overhead Crane, Gantry Crane, Jib Crane, Electric Hoist, Winch, etc., the sludge of the crane not only affects the appearance of the crane, but also may bring the danger of spontaneous combustion, and accelerate the aging and damage of the crane parts. Therefore, Flagcrane reminds you that you should remove the crane sludge in time and protect your lifting equipment.
