Lumber Mill Outage Work
A local lumber mill suffered maintenance outages for an entire weekend. MIM Hydraulics worked tirelessly throughout conducting preventative maintenance on a Larger Plainer/Stacker Hydraulic Power Unit.
MIM technician work included:
- Cleaned the HPU
- Disassembled & resealed all valves
- Replaced all return & pressure filters
- Opened the hydraulic power unit reservoir tank
- Wiped clean all containments
- Made new manhole cover gaskets
All components on the Hydraulic Power Unit were reassembled. They were filled with new Hydraulic oil to ISO rating 18/20/14. We ran all HPU circuits and checked for leaks—all were then successfully fixed.
This preventative service on the HPU saves the client’s company over $2,000/month on hydraulic fluid. The ROI for this investment was made back in two months of operation.
