How to maintain wood chipper in humid climate conditions

GREEN MECH wood chipper, one of the leading products of Vietnam Green Technology Joint Stock Company, is designed to meet the needs of chipping wood into chips for many industrial and export purposes. However, with humid climate conditions like in Vietnam, proper machine maintenance is essential to maintain performance, longevity and operational safety. This article will provide detailed information on how to maintain wood chipper in humid environments.

Understanding the Effects of Humid Climates on Wood Chipper

In humid climates, wood chipper machines face a number of risks that can severely impact the performance and longevity of the equipment. Common problems include:

  • Corrosion of metal surfaces: High humidity combined with temperature changes create ideal conditions for oxidation, leading to rust. This rust layer not only reduces the aesthetics but also affects the durability of the machine.
  • Accelerated wear and tear on components: Moisture in the air can penetrate mechanical parts, increasing friction and causing moving parts to wear out quickly. This directly affects the smooth operation of the machine.
  • Risk of electrical system failure: Moisture entering electronic components and wiring can cause short circuits or reduce motor performance. This is the biggest threat, potentially causing unsafe operation.

How to store wood chipper in humid environment

Choose a suitable storage location

Wood chipper machine should be placed in a covered warehouse, avoid leaving it outdoors or in places prone to flooding.

If it is not possible to move the machine into storage, place it on a high shelf to avoid direct contact with wet ground.
Equip a humidity control system: Use a dehumidifier or ventilation to maintain the humidity in the storage space below 60%.

Cover and protect the machine

Use a specialized tarpaulin to cover the machine, ensuring that no rain or dew condenses directly on the surface.

Parts such as the engine, transmission, and electrical system need to be covered more thoroughly, perhaps with a sealed plastic bag or waterproof box.

Regular inspection and maintenance

  • Use a dry cloth to wipe away dust, grease, and moisture from the machine.
  • Periodically lubricate moving parts to reduce friction and prevent rust.
  • Make sure the power cord and control cabinet are not exposed to water. If moisture is detected, dry immediately with an industrial dryer.

Apply corrosion protection

Metal surfaces should be sprayed with an anti-rust coating such as epoxy paint or anti-rust oil.

Place desiccant packets around important parts of the machine to absorb moisture.

Store the chopper and chopping board

Cleaning the chopping knife: The chopping knife needs to be cleaned and oiled after each use to avoid dullness or corrosion.

Check the chopping board: The chopping board should be checked periodically to ensure that it is not covered with wood resin or dirt, causing imbalance during operation.

Operating procedure in humid environment

Before putting the machine into operation, check the entire system, including the motor, electrical wiring and major components to ensure there are no signs of moisture. This will help prevent the risk of electrical shock or damage during operation.

In case of outdoor operation, a shelter or protective area must be set up to prevent rainwater from falling directly on the machine. This helps reduce the risk of water infiltration and protect components from corrosion.

After each use, dry the machine thoroughly. Use a clean cloth to wipe away any water stains and check any components that are susceptible to moisture. This not only prevents rust but also maintains optimum performance.
