How to Maintain and Protect the Machine During Long-Term Idle Storage?

At Changzhou Guosu Technology Co., Ltd., we provide professional maintenance guidance for long-term idle cold roll forming machines to avoid rust, deformation, or performance loss.

Clean and Dry Thoroughly

Clean all dust, metal chips, oil stains, and debris from the machine surface, rollers, guide rails, and bases. Keep the workshop dry and ventilated to prevent moisture.

Rust Prevention and Lubrication

Lubricate bearings, transmission parts, chains, and guide rails with anti-rust lubricating oil. Coat forming rollers, cutting tools, and metal surfaces with anti-rust grease. Cover precision parts with anti-rust paper.

Protect Electrical Components

Turn off the main power supply. Cover the control cabinet, motors, and electrical boxes to prevent dust and moisture. Do not place heavy objects on wires or cables.

Regular Inspection

Check the machine condition every 1–2 months. Re-lubricate and replenish anti-rust oil if necessary. Ensure no rust, deformation, or loose parts occur.

Proper Covering

Use a waterproof and dustproof machine cover to protect the entire equipment. Avoid direct sunlight and heavy pressure on the machine body.

Following these steps ensures your machine remains in good condition and restarts quickly after long-term storage.
