Get Your Recycling Equipment Winter-Ready

Every winter, our service team gets emergency calls from facilities dealing with frozen hydraulics, failed sensors, and icy components, often during their busiest season. After 40+ years of servicing recycling equipment, we’ve learned that most of these breakdowns can be prevented with a little planning.

Here are five areas our technicians check first:

Hydraulics

Check the hydraulic fluid level, check for moisture from the summer months, and check every fitting and connection for leaks.

Electrical systems

Inspect connection points for moisture, confirm control panel heating elements work, and test emergency shutdown systems.

Physical components

Catch rust early, apply cold-weather lubricants, and check weather stripping and safety guards.

Balers

Deep clean chambers, check ram alignment, test auto-tie systems, and make sure drainage is clear. Frozen water is your baler’s enemy.

Conveyors

Check belt condition, grease bearings with winter-grade grease, and protect sensors from the elements.
