Keeping old milling equipment running efficiently can be a challenge but with proper care and attention can definitely be done. I would focus on two tips: 1- Implement a strict maintenance schedule that includes lubricating moving parts, checking for wear and tear, tightening loose components, and replacing any broken/damaged parts proactively 2- Consider upgrading specific/critical components, like motors, covers, transmission or even the feeding system (if available) in old roller mills. The investment makes sense if upgrades improve efficiency and/or reliability and/or sanitation without replacing the entire machine
