Hydraulic systems are the heart of most recycling equipment.
Whether you're operating:
- Auto-tie balers
- Two-ram balers
- Closed-door balers
- Industrial shredders
the hydraulic system determines performance.
Some of the most common warning signs include:
Excessive Heat
Heat destroys seals, oil quality, and component life.
Leaks
Even small leaks often indicate larger problems developing.
Slow Cycle Times
Reduced speed often signals declining hydraulic efficiency.
Contaminated Oil
Dirty oil shortens component life dramatically.
Noisy Pumps
Unusual sounds often indicate cavitation, wear, or restriction.
Addressing these issues early is significantly less expensive than replacing pumps, cylinders, or valves after failure occurs.
