how long before it needs replacement? hour many hours?
Many, many hours. All the hours. About 5,000 hours. But, your mileage may vary. Especially, if the machine is abused. Then, not many hours.
Chinese machines, about 50hours. English about 2500 hours. 5000 or about 5 to 10 years from the US and Japanese engineered manufacturers. Some of the operators I’ve worked with, 1 day.
thanks
Big Machines: KGM - 5.000 hrs and chances of changing dust seal. What about washing around the seals during regular PM?
