The strongest cold wave hits, Wanshi machinery warm reminder you now is the off-season construction, machine maintenance can not slack off oh, here is the winter maintenance of the machine super practical knowledge, the following winter maintenance measures are in the routine maintenance needs special attention to matters, must be completed under the premise of conventional maintenance: Before the onset of winter, replace the winter fuel in advance to avoid the wax accumulation of ordinary diesel in the filter element and pipeline due to low temperature, thus causing the engine to fail to start normally. Choose a standard engine oil. Open the anti-icing device of the compressed air system and check the ether level regularly. Many engines require additional additives in the coolant, known as SCA (Supplemental Coolant Additive). It is usually used in the process of contact between aluminum parts and coolant, so as to prevent metal corrosion, mineral precipitation, cylinder liner cavitation and foaming more effectively. Please refer to the machine's manual for details. Electrical system maintenance: Please start the engine once every half a month, charge the battery, and run all hydraulic actuators, such as rotating hydraulic motor, telescopic cylinder, etc. Do not remove the battery from the machine to prevent the failure of the internal software program of the controller due to the loss of the equipment for a long time. Hydraulic system maintenance: Start the machine regularly and open all hydraulic functions on the machine, so that the hydraulic drive components work regularly, in order to prevent the related seals due to long time parking damage, and cylinder rod and other metal components corrosion and other failures. As far as possible, all cylinder rods are shrunk into the hydraulic cylinder cavity to better protect the surface of the cylinder rod. Maintenance of mechanical parts: Before parking the machine for a long time in winter, lubrication and maintenance of each mechanical hinge point and bearing should be done well. Check the integrity of the dustproof cover of each mechanical component, and replace the damaged seals in time. Metal contact surfaces exposed to air should be treated against rust. Start the engine regularly and run all reduction gear boxes to prevent the shaft seals and rubber seals in the gear boxes from being damaged by long-term parking and bonding with gear oil.

Safety & environmental protection measures for fine stone concrete floor construction
Construction of fine aggregate concrete floor: Safety protection and environmental protection measures To ensure the smooth progress of the fine aggregate concrete floor construction process, safeguard the safety and health of the workers, and minimize the negative impact on the environment, the following measures are specially formulated. Safe construction should follow the principle of "safety first, prevention foremost, and comprehensive governance". Head protection: All personnel entering the construction site must wear qualified safety helmets correctly. Foot protection: Construction workers should wear safety shoes that are resistant to impact, puncture and slip. Concrete operators are advised to wear rubber boots to prevent cement slurry corrosion. Respiratory protection: When handling, mixing and dry spreading cement and sand and gravel, especially in poorly ventilated environments, dust masks must be worn to prevent inhalation of cement dust. Hand protection: Operators should wear rubber or plastic gloves to prevent skin burns from cement and alkaline substances. Eye protection : When mixing, pumping or using power tools for cutting and grinding, protective glasses should be worn to prevent concrete slurry or debris from splashing into the eyes. High-altitude work protection: When working near edges or openings, safety belts must be fastened. Before use, check the electrical circuits, insulation conditions and whether the protective covers are in good condition. When in operation, it is strictly forbidden to insert hands or tools into the mixing drum. When cleaning or conducting maintenance, the power supply must be cut off, and a dedicated person should be assigned for supervision. A warning sign reading "Do Not Close the Switch" should be hung. Before operation, check whether the cable, switch, blade/grinding disc are in good condition and securely fastened. Operators need to be familiar with the equipment operation procedures, hold the control lever tightly with both hands to prevent the machine from getting out of control. The cable should be suspended to prevent it from being caught or dragged by the machine. The support of the pump pipe must be firm, especially at the elbows and joints. When pumping, it is strictly prohibited for anyone to stand at the outlet of the pump pipe. When cleaning the pipeline, there must be no personnel in front of the outlet. All electric tools must be powered by a power supply equipped with a leakage protection device. Cables must not be dragged on the ground, rolled over or immersed in water. They should be installed overhead or buried underground. Non-professional electricians are strictly prohibited from privately connecting wires or repairing electrical equipment. Openings and edge protection: The reserved openings on the floor, staircase entrances, and elevator shaft openings must be covered with solid covers or guardrails, and safety warning signs must be hung. Material stacking safety: Materials such as cement and sand and gravel should be stacked neatly, and the height should not be too high to prevent collapse. The stacking area should be kept away from slopes and pits. Safety of cross-operation: Arrange the construction sequence reasonably and reduce vertical cross-operation. When it is unavoidable, a safety isolation layer should be set up, and a dedicated person should be assigned to direct and communicate between the upper and lower floors. Fire prevention measures: Smoking is strictly prohibited at the construction site, and sufficient fire-fighting equipment (such as fire extinguishers) should be provided as required. When conducting thermal construction (such as using a furnace for heating in winter construction), there must be a dedicated person to supervise and keep away from flammable materials. Lighting and ventilation: When conducting construction in the basement or at night, there must be sufficient lighting. When working in a closed space, good ventilation should be ensured. Environmental protection should follow the principle of "source control, process management and end-of-pipe treatment". Cement and sand: Cement should be stored in a dedicated warehouse or tightly covered with tarpaulin. Sand and gravel storage sites should be appropriately watered to reduce dust or covered. Mixing operation: Pre-mixed commercial fine aggregate concrete is preferred. If on-site stirring is carried out, it should be set up in a closed or semi-closed stirring shed and equipped with dust suppression devices. Transportation and paving: Transport vehicles should be protected from spillage. When laying manually, avoid raising dust. Cutting and grinding: When performing ground cutting and grinding, it is necessary to use dedicated equipment with dust collection devices or carry out wet water spraying operations to effectively suppress dust. Equipment selection: Give priority to using construction machinery with low noise and high efficiency. Work time: Reasonably arrange the time for high-noise operations (such as cutting and grinding), and try to avoid construction at night or during lunch breaks. If continuous operation is required, it should be reported to the environmental protection department in advance and the surrounding residents should be informed. Sound insulation measures: For fixed high-noise equipment (such as fixed mixers), sound insulation sheds can be set up. Mobile device operators should wear earplugs. Classified collection: Separate construction waste from household waste. Discarded concrete blocks, mortar, packaging bags, etc. should be sorted and stacked. Recycling: Discarded concrete blocks, bricks, etc. can be crushed and used as backfill materials or roadbed materials. Timely removal: Assign dedicated personnel to be responsible for transporting the waste to the designated construction waste storage area in a centralized manner. It is strictly prohibited to dump or landfill it at will. Cleaning of mixing equipment: The wastewater from cleaning mixers and transport vehicles should be discharged into a dedicated sedimentation tank. After sedimentation treatment, the supernatant can be recycled for water spraying and dust suppression. It is strictly prohibited to directly discharge it into the municipal water network or natural water bodies. Curing wastewater: The wastewater generated during the curing stage (such as watering and covering with a wet cloth) is basically clean water, but the flow rate should be controlled to avoid surface runoff, which could lead to water resource waste and site mud. Material conservation: Accurately calculate the amount of concrete used, adopt advanced construction techniques, and reduce unnecessary waste and loss. Water conservation: It is recommended to use spray moisture retention during maintenance and avoid flooding with water. Promote the use of water-saving curing agents (film curing liquid) to replace traditional watering curing. Energy conservation: Select construction equipment with high energy efficiency, rationally arrange the process, and reduce the idling time of equipment. The safety and environmental protection management of fine aggregate concrete floor and ground construction is a dynamic and full-process management. All construction personnel must receive detailed safety and technical briefings before taking up their posts, clearly defining all risks and response measures. Only through strict on-site management and continuous education can safety accidents be effectively prevented and the goal of green and civilized construction be achieved.

Main methods of road leveling
– A grader is a mechanical device specifically used for pavement leveling. It cuts and scrapes the pavement through a scraper and other devices. In roadbed construction, a grader can scrape the ground after filling or excavation to achieve the designed slope and elevation. In the construction of the pavement base and surface layer, a grader can also be used to initially level the paved materials to create conditions for subsequent compaction work. – Pavers are mainly used for paving asphalt pavements or cement concrete pavements. In asphalt pavement construction, the paver spreads the hot-mixed asphalt mixture evenly on the pavement base, and distributes the mixture evenly in the width direction through devices such as spiral spreaders. At the same time, the paving thickness is controlled to ensure the flatness of the pavement. The cement concrete paver spreads the mixed cement concrete on the roadbed, and after vibration, screeding and other processes, a flat cement concrete pavement is formed. – Rollers play a key role in pavement construction. By applying pressure to pavement materials, the particles are squeezed and compacted to achieve the purpose of leveling the pavement and improving the pavement strength. In roadbed compaction, rollers can compact fill and reduce the settlement of the roadbed. In pavement surface construction, different types of rollers such as steel wheel rollers and rubber wheel rollers are used together to compact and level the asphalt pavement or cement concrete pavement so that the pavement meets the specified density and flatness requirements. – In some local areas or small projects, manual leveling is an indispensable supplementary means. Workers use tools such as shovels and rakes to carefully trim the pavement to deal with corners that are difficult to reach by mechanical construction or local unevenness. For example, at the edge of the road, around the inspection well, etc., manual fine-tuning of the material can be done to make it smooth and connected with the overall pavement. In actual road leveling operations, the above methods are usually used in combination according to factors such as road type, construction conditions, and engineering requirements to achieve the ideal road leveling.
