Aftercare: The Secret to Peak Performance in Marui Concrete End Cylinder Grinding Machines

In precision concrete testing, consistency is everything. Every millimetre of accuracy can determine whether a structure meets its design strength or falls short. Laboratories across Australia and New Zealand rely on Marui Concrete End Cylinder Grinding Machines for their accuracy, speed, and repeatable results.

However, even the most advanced machines achieve peak performance only with proper aftercare. The secret to long-lasting precision and reliability lies not just in Marui’s engineering — but in ongoing maintenance and support.

The Importance of Aftercare

Concrete cylinder grinding machines operate under demanding conditions. Each test exposes the machine to abrasion, slurry, and fine cement dust, which can gradually wear down grinding surfaces, bearings, and seals. Without regular aftercare, performance can slowly decline, often unnoticed until test results become inconsistent or downtime occurs.

Routine aftercare — including cleaning, lubrication, recalibration, and inspection — helps maintain the machine’s original accuracy. This ensures continued compliance with standards such as EN 12390-3 and ASTM C39 for compressive strength testing.

Peak Performance as a Partnership

While Marui machines are designed for decades of service, achieving maximum lifespan requires collaboration between operators and service technicians. Key aftercare practices include:

• Routine Cleaning: Prevents slurry buildup and corrosion.

• Scheduled Maintenance: Keeps bearings, pumps, and seals operating smoothly.

• Calibration Checks: Ensures end faces remain perfectly parallel and smooth.

• Professional Servicing: Extends the life of critical components and prevents costly breakdowns.

Hylec Controls supports laboratories with trained engineers, high quality parts, calibration services, and tailored aftercare programs to match testing workloads.

Small Actions Deliver Big Results

Just as concrete builds strength over time, a machine’s performance is maintained through regular care. Neglecting aftercare can reduce lifespan and compromise test repeatability. Conversely, consistent maintenance ensures:

• Faster grinding cycles

• Reduced noise and vibration

• Lower consumable costs

• Reliable, compliant test results

Built to Last, Maintained to Perform

Marui’s reputation for precision extends beyond the point of sale. With dedicated aftercare, Marui Concrete End Cylinder Grinding Machines continue producing flawless, parallel cylinder ends for years — ensuring every test result remains as accurate as the day the machine was installed.

Hylec Controls not only supplies high-quality equipment but also provides ongoing support to help laboratories maintain peak performance.
