Regular servicing and maintenance are essential aspects of owning a rendering or plastering machine, and it's crucial not to overlook them.
These days, you need maximum efficiency with minimum operating costs and every minute of production you can get and you don’t want your plastering and rendering machines working at less than peak performance. Facing unforeseen breakdowns can not only be frustrating but also result in higher expenses down the line and negatively impact your efficiency. For diesel machines, it's best to schedule your first oil change after 50 hours, followed by a comprehensive service every 150 hours, however you should always refer to your machine manual for specific servicing instructions. Included within a diesel machine service can include filter changes, oil level check and change, drive belt check and change, air system check, tyre pressures, wheel baring's, rotor & stator and more, general check over, depending on the machine and it's condition and what is requested.
Electric machines have different requirements, typically needing an annual service. This can include things such as mixer shaft check, air system check, water system check, rotor & stator check, outlet coupling condition and general condition and safety of machine.
Why is service and maintenance important?
- Lengthens the lifespan of your machine.
- Saves you money in the long-term.
- Lowers the risk of breakdowns.
- Avoids unplanned downtime.
- Increases machine efficiency.
- Boosts customer satisfaction.
- Ensures a high quality output & finish.
- Improves company image.

Keeping your machine clean
Rendering and plastering materials are designed to be resilient once they have dried and set. This is obviously beneficial for wall finishes, but it can create obstacles when leftover residue builds up within your machine. Therefore, it is vital to ensure your machine is cleaned after every use to avoid any blockages in the hoses, mixing chambers, rotors, and stators. Implementing a consistent cleaning routine will not only enhance the performance and lifespan of your machine but also ensure it's optimal functionality.

Daily checks
Regularly servicing your machine is crucial for its health, but taking just 10-15 minutes each time you use it to inspect the basics is a straightforward yet powerful method to guarantee its longevity and peak performance. Performing these regular inspections enables you to easily spot any potential issues like clogged filters, low oil levels, worn rotor and stator parts, deteriorated hoses, or missing seals. This proactive approach not only helps prevent costly breakdowns but also allows you to promptly address any issues, ensuring your machine stays in optimal working order.
When operating an electric rendering or plastering machine, it's vital to inspect the water feed to ensure a consistent flow of water with sufficient pressure. Clear water filters enable unrestricted water flow, promoting optimal machine performance. It is also essential to have a reliable power source in place to prevent the machine from experiencing any sudden shutdowns, as this could potentially cause damage to its components. Daily inspections for diesel machines vary slightly, including the monitoring of oil levels, fuel levels, and engine coolant levels. It is also crucial to regularly apply grease to grease points. Don't forget to inspect other components such as rotors, stators, hoses, and couplings daily to maintain optimal machine performance. For more detailed information, check out our blog here.
