Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after each use: Wipe the crushing chamber, feed chute, crushing plate, and all metal surfaces to remove residue from cans or liquids; ensure no sticky residues remain.
-
Lubricate moving joints and hinges: Apply a food‑safe or general-purpose lubricant to hinge pins, joints, and any sliding parts to keep crushing motion smooth and prevent wear.
-
Inspect structural components: Regularly check the cabinet frame, mounting bolts, crushing plate, and hinges for cracks, bending, or looseness. Tighten or replace parts as needed to maintain structural integrity.
-
Avoid overloading the crusher: Only feed cans that meet the crusher’s specified size and thickness. Over‑sized or heavily dented cans should be avoided to prevent undue stress on the mechanism.
-
Dry thoroughly after cleaning: Ensure all metal parts are completely dry before storage or use to avoid corrosion or rusting.
-
Ensure stable installation: Confirm the crusher is properly mounted or placed on a stable surface/structure; loose installation can cause mis‑alignment or unsafe operation.
