Summer Care Tips for Powder Tankers

Publication Date: 2025-05-14 Back

With the temperature gradually rising, summer is coming. People start early to do a good job of sun protection, to avoid the damage caused by exposure to the sun. As a professional transportation equipment, powder material transporter, although not afraid of the sun, but in the face of high temperatures and rainy weather conditions, still need to carry out the necessary maintenance and protection to ensure stable operation of equipment and transportation safety.

Powder material transporter (referred to as powder tanker), mainly consists of special automobile chassis, bulk tank, air pipeline system and automatic unloading device, widely used in fly ash, cement, lime powder and other dry granular materials bulk transportation.

As the powder tanker belongs to special vehicles, its structure and function are more complicated compared with ordinary models, and its operation and maintenance are also more specialized. Therefore, the summer heat and rainy season, should strengthen the daily inspection and maintenance.

Summer Care Tips for Powder Tankers

First, the tank assembly maintenance focus

· Attention to operational safety and personal protection

In summer ambient temperature is high, the gas pipe during the pressurization process, the temperature rises further, very easy to cause the surface temperature is too high, which is a risk of scalding. Operators must wear protective gear before operation to ensure safety.

· Tank cleaning should avoid the high-temperature period

When cleaning the residual ash inside the tank or replacing the vulcanization tube, try to choose the early morning or the lower temperature in the morning to ensure that the tank is well ventilated to prevent heat stroke caused by high temperature. At the same time, there must be a person on duty outside the tank during the operation to pay attention to the situation inside the tank in real time to ensure the safety of personnel.

· Waterproofing during rainy season should not be ignored

Rainwater infiltration into the tank may cause cement caking, seriously affecting the discharge efficiency. Therefore, we should regularly check whether the tank cover and sealing ring are intact to prevent rainwater from entering. At the same time, when working on the roof of the tank in rainy days, extra attention should be paid to anti-skid, and the operator should fasten the safety belt to eliminate potential safety hazards.

Second, the frame and other parts of the maintenance points

· Maintenance of automobile chassis

Be sure to strictly follow the product manual for maintenance, unauthorized disassembly or modification is strictly prohibited in order to prevent structural damage or abnormal operation.

· Air compressor maintenance

The air compressor is one of the tanker's important parts; it should be maintained regularly according to the specification and not violate the operation to prolong the equipment's service life and ensure the efficiency of unloading.

· Inspection of the extractor

Regularly check the lubrication status and operation of the extractor, and immediately overhaul it if any abnormal response is found. Gear bite and wear should also be regularly monitored to prevent mechanical failure.

· Intake piping inspection

Check the sealing of the piping to prevent air leakage. If air leaks are found, they should be repaired promptly to ensure that the air pressure system is operating properly.

· Tire Inspection

Regularly check the tire pressure and tread wear to avoid tire blowout or other safety problems caused by too high or too low tire pressure, which will affect the transportation safety.

· Safety Device Inspection

Focus on key devices such as safety valves and pressure gauges to ensure that they operate sensitively and reliably, and effectively prevent risks such as overpressurization or suction back-up of the tank.

It should be emphasized that the above is only part of the key maintenance content for the summer use of powder tanker trucks; comprehensive maintenance work should be combined with the intensity of vehicle use, operating environment and other factors to customize the maintenance plan. Only by adhering to regular maintenance, standardized operation and strengthened protection can we effectively improve the use efficiency and service life of powder tanker trucks, and further safeguard the operation experience and economic benefits of customers.
