Investing in a high-capacity concrete batching plant like the HZS180 is only the first step toward project success. To achieve the rated output and ensure a long service life, operators must look beyond the initial installation. At Xingye Machinery, we’ve identified three pillars that separate high-efficiency sites from those plagued by constant downtime.

1. Mastering the "Running-In" Period

The first 100 hours of a concrete mixing station's life are the most critical. This "running-in" period is not just a suggestion; it is a technical necessity. During this phase, internal components—especially the JS-series twin-shaft mixer gears and bearings—settle into their final positions.

Key actions during the break-in phase:

• Gradual Loading: Avoid running at 100% capacity for the first 20-30 hours to allow mechanical parts to seat properly.
• Fastener Inspection: Vibration during transport and initial operation can loosen bolts. Check all structural connections, especially on cement silos and the main tower.
• Lubrication Monitoring: Ensure the automated lubrication system is delivering the correct volume to the mixer shaft ends.

2. Transitioning to Proactive Maintenance

Efficiency is the direct result of reliability. Waiting for a component to fail before replacing it—reactive maintenance—is the most expensive way to run a plant, especially in high-demand regions like the Middle East or Southeast Asia where heat and humidity accelerate wear.

Component	Daily Check	Weekly/Monthly Maintenance
JS Mixer Liners	Check for excessive wear	Adjust clearance between blades and liners
Weighing Sensors	Zero-point calibration	Professional weight verification and cleaning
Screw Conveyors	Listen for abnormal noise	Grease inlet/outlet bearings and check motor temperature
Air Compressor	Drain water from tanks	Check oil levels and clean intake filters

3. Leveraging Technical Support and Training

Even the most advanced HZS plant is only as efficient as the team operating it. Modern concrete management systems require precise input to prevent calibration drift in humid or dusty climates. High efficiency requires a "human-machine" synergy.

At Xingye Machinery, we emphasize a Service-First approach. After-sales support isn't just about fixing broken parts; it's about providing the technical guidance needed to solve site-specific challenges, such as optimizing batching cycles for high-strength concrete or adjusting for moisture content in aggregates.
