House of Raeford
Maintenance Person
Mechanical repairs, maintenance and PMs to equipment and installation of new equipment is the core responsibility of a maintenance person. Due to the combustible nature of grain dust, it is imperative that all electrical pneumatic, and mechanical equipment be maintained to eliminate the chance of bearings, rollers, fixtures, and any potential heat producing item from becoming an ignition source. Preventative measures include proper greasing and monitoring of equipment on a regular basis as predetermined by the feed mill maintenance schedule. Chains, sprockets, shafts, hydraulic equipment, sheaves and couplings are just a few of the areas that require service on a regular basis. Housekeeping is vital and has to be maintained on a daily basis in the mill.
