For reliable day-to-day core grinding, routine maintenance is mainly about keeping the wet-grinding system clean, monitoring diamond wheel condition, and making sure the pneumatic locking and controls operate consistently from cycle to cycle.
Most labs build a simple routine around the machine’s core subsystems:
- Rinse and wipe down the grinding area after use to prevent slurry buildup, and keep the recirculating water spray path clear
- If your system includes the optional water tank with filtration and circulation, clean out collected fines and service the filtration components on a schedule that matches your rock and throughput
- Use diamond grinding blade life monitoring, plus process memory and tracking totals, to plan wheel changes before end condition starts to drift
- Check the pneumatic sample locking for secure clamping, and keep the facility air supply clean, dry, and leak-free
