How to Keep Machinery From Rusting

 Let’s face it; rust is an inevitable nuisance affecting many machine owners and operators. It affects almost all iron-made tools and appliances and is a significant threat to most industries. How does it happen? Rust is an oxidation reaction whereby metal surfaces are deionized and weakened due to exposure to oxygen-based compounds. If this happens to your machinery, it ruins its functionality and appearance, which can be disastrous. Fortunately, there are multiple ways to keep rust at bay. Let’s learn about them;

  1. Clean & Dry

 Water is the number one enemy when it comes to machinery. It combines with iron surfaces and oxygen to form iron oxide, which corrodes the metal. To avoid this, clean your machines and dry them thoroughly after use. If you live in a humid environment, install a humidifier to expel moisture from the air.

  1. Prevent scratches & Apply protective coating

Scratches and cracks expose your equipment to water and moisture. This can later result in corrosion, and this is why it’s advisable to go for hot rolled steel. It features a smoother surface, making it hard to trap water. Also, fill in the crack with a layer of paint to guard the appliances against rust.

For additional protection, use a protective coating to make your machine corrosion-resistant. If you have to replace some machine parts, consult the industrial supplier on the best supplies for your equipment.

  1. Oiling works wonders!

 Most machines feature multiple moving parts that are prone to friction and corrosion. Oiling your machine parts will lubricate and minimize friction. It will also keep off by forming a protective layer on the parts. With the protective coating, you keep off moisture from your machines thus avoid corrosion.

  1. 3. Paint regularly

 Painting creates a protective layer over your machines, thus preventing rusting. It bars moisture from seeping into your devices which can corrode the parts. Moreover, if you love that appealing look on your equipment, painting will help you achieve this and more. It allows you to add a different color and creates a smooth finish to the metal. For excellent results, pay attention to the joints and blots and fill the areas adequately.

  1. Control humidity in the storage space

 The condition of your storage space matters a lot. Humid areas encourage the formation of rust, and it’s advisable to keep the room dry at all times. Therefore, control the environment and keep the door closed. Also, consider an air conditioner or fan to help balance the temperature and humidity in your storage space.

  1. 5. Galvanize

 Galvanizing your metal parts comes with many gains. It helps in rust prevention and is very cost-effective. Galvanized metal is durable and requires minimal maintenance. It offers a robust protective layer that guards your machines against weather elements that can corrode your metal and cause rusting.

 Final thoughts

Rust is unsightly and will weaken your machines leading to higher maintenance costs. To avoid rusting, clean and dry your equipment after use and store them in a dry place. Also, examine the bolts, joints, and other moving parts for rust. Deal with this before the rust spreads to other parts.
