TAURUS: SMALL TIPS THAT WILL INCREASE THE USEFUL LIFE OF YOUR SHEAR BALER.

The maintenance operations of a TAURUS shear baler are not limited to small measures to be carried out one-off but to increase the life cycle of a shear baler maintenance operations are divided into: daily, WEEKLY, monthly, annual. Ordinary maintenance makes it possible to maintain and intervene on the machine before an unexpected stop are reached.
WEEKLY maintenance includes checks on the SHEAR, on the FEEDING BOX and RIGID / FLEXIBLE PIPES.
SHEAR: check that screws are fastened, in particular:
– Fastening screws of adjustment eccentrics (TAURUS PATENTED);
– Fastening of registration gibs of the mobile blade holder;
– Fastening of screws fixing the cylinder to the shear;
– Fastening of the screws of the flanges of the shear cylinder feeding pipes;
– Fastening of the support ring of the mobile blade holder on the shear cylinder system;
– Fastening of the screws of limit switches of the shear and clamp;
– Fastening of the mobile and fixed blades screws
FEEDING BOX AND MAIN CYLINDER
– Fastening of the screws of limit switches of the feeding box (lid) and main cylinder
– Fastening of the screws of the wing cylinders and main cylinder
– Fastening of the screws of the flanges that connect rigid and flexible pipes
– Check the condition of flexible pipes and joints tightness
RIGID AND FLEXIBLE PIPES
– Check that flanges screws are tight
– Check joints tightness
– Check collar screws and pipes fastening, in order to avoid vibrations and water hammering

6 steps that increase the life cycle of your shear

Routine maintenance, also known as ordinary maintenance or preventative maintenance, effectively managed on shear balers ensures the smooth running of the machine. It, further, allows to identify and/or predict any components that may require replacement, therefore, avoiding potential downtime as a result of a component failure.

But what are the maintenance operations that need to be performed? How often do inspections need to be carried out?  What should I check to ensure smooth running of the shear and baler and consequently a longer service life?

TAURUS details routine maintenance operations and routine inspections as daily, weekly, monthly and for certain components, on an hourly basis.

Daily Maintenance and Daily Inspections covers six simple tasks that, if carried out regularly, will allow you to increase the useful life of your TAURUS shear and baler.

• Lubrification System: Inspect and check the correct lubrication of the hinges, the lid hinges, the clamp, the shear, the rod and the flanges cylinders lids.
• Hydraulic Oil System: Inspect for oil leaks in the hydraulic power station, the pipes, the fittings, the hoses, the flanges, the valves and cylinders. Make sure that any screws and fittings are well tightened.
• Oil Level: Check oil level in the hydraulic tank, in case of low level, top up utilizing the same oil.
• Cylinder Anchorage Section: Inspect for dust, dirt, scrap and impurities of any kind that may prevent the correct operation of the cylinders. Check that the return seat of the feed cylinder is free of any material and remove any objects/material that may obstruct and wear the rod.
• Security & Safety Measures: Check the correct functioning of the limit switches and emergency stop buttons.
• Electrical Elements: Visual inspection of electric cables and electrical conductors.

IRELAND: A NEW TAURUS BLULINE ACH773 DIESEL

A new TAURUS BLULINE ACH773 Diesel shear baler has recently been installed in Ireland. Our customer needed a machine that could produce E.L.V., replacing his old baler and shear that no longer met his production needs. After contacting our local distributor and discussing with him which solution might be best suited to his needs, the choice fell on a TAURUS BLULINE ACH873 diesel press and shear, characterized by: cutting force 700 tons, case length 7200 mm and on each cover an over-stroke and 3 cylinders. From the date of purchase to the delivery of the machine, the customer would have had to face a production stop. To this end, TAURUS provided the customer with a machine that would allow him to continue working while waiting for the delivery of his new shear baler.
