One of the most popular genres of YouTube videos at the moment are Hydraulic Press videos. Whole YouTube channels are devoted to seeing how different objects, ranging from rubber duckies and cans of silly string to non-Newtonian fluids, survive being crushed by a hydraulic press. This 100-ton machine that costs tens of thousands of dollars is also very useful for entertainment purposes. The results are often very messy. After watching such videos as the hydraulic press versus a giant five-pound gummy bear that leaves the press covered in sticky goo, one wonders how it effects the machine itself. The pure power and force of the hydraulic press seem to win every time. If the machine is not maintained, however, these substances can cause damage to the hydraulics.
A daily cleaning check is just one way to make sure that a hydraulic press is kept in the best working order. Checking for leaks and loose parts is another important habit to learn. The level and temperature of the oil should also be part of routine maintenance. The oil filter should be changed on a regular schedule in order to keep the oil clean.
Even with a responsible maintenance schedule, eventually, parts may need to be replaced. If the press is no longer building up pressure, there could be problems with the values, the motor, or the pump. Sometimes the structural frame of the pump itself might need to be repaired. Older electrical systems with frayed or loose wires can also cause issues.
