In the ceramics manufacturing process, the operating status of ceramics machines affects product quality and production efficiency. To ensure long-term and efficient operation, and reduce downtime and maintenance costs, this guide will detail the daily maintenance methods of ceramic tableware machinery to help users improve production efficiency and ensure product quality.
Cleaning and sanitation
After daily work, dust and impurities on the machine’s surface should be removed, especially in areas where dust is easily accumulated. At the same time, the key parts of the machine should be lubricated regularly to reduce wear and friction. It is recommended to use neutral detergents and soft cloths to avoid scratching the surface of the equipment. Avoid using strong acidic or alkaline detergents to prevent corrosion of metal parts of the equipment.
Mechanical component inspection
Key components include motors, drive belts, bearings, gears, hydraulic systems, etc. Perform a quick inspection before the start of each shift and a comprehensive inspection at least once a month. Pay attention to whether there are worn, loose or damaged parts, and add lubricating oil in time.
Regularly calibrate the key components of the machine, such as the molding mold and conveyor belt position, to ensure that it operates in the best condition.
Safety precautions during maintenance
- Follow the operating manual provided by the manufacturer to start, run and stop the machine correctly. Overload is strictly prohibited and frequent starting and stopping of the equipment is avoided.
- Before any maintenance or repair, ensure the equipment is completely powered off.
- Operators should wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and protective shoes to prevent injuries during operation.
- Avoid unauthorized repairs. Only trained professionals can repair and adjust the equipment to avoid equipment damage or personal injury due to improper operation.
Common problems and solutions
Poor operation of the machine: If the equipment is found to be running poorly or there is an abnormal sound, the lubrication system and transmission parts should be checked for wear, and parts should be lubricated or replaced if necessary.
Transmission system problems: Slippage or breakage of the transmission belt is a common problem. Check the tension of the transmission belt regularly and adjust or replace it immediately if it is found to be loose or damaged.
Electronic control system failure: Failure of the electronic control system may cause the equipment to fail to start or operate normally. The electrical connection and sensor status should be checked regularly to ensure that the line is not loose or broken.
Maintenance records and regular review
Develop a maintenance plan and make a detailed maintenance schedule on an annual/quarterly/monthly basis.
The maintenance log should include the following:
- Maintenance time and content: record the specific time and operation content of each inspection, cleaning, lubrication, adjustment or replacement.
- Equipment status: record the operating status of the equipment and the problems found for follow-up.
- Regular review and optimization of maintenance plan: Regularly review maintenance records, analyze the failure rate and common problems of the equipment, and optimize the maintenance plan.
Spare parts management
Spare parts list: List the list of wearing parts and other important parts.
Inventory management suggestions: Rationally plan the spare parts inventory to ensure that they can be quickly replaced in an emergency.
Procurement channels: Choose suppliers with good reputation to ensure the quality of spare parts.
結論
Routine maintenance not only helps to extend the service life of ceramics machines, but also improves production efficiency and reduces downtime caused by equipment failure. Regular maintenance, proper operation training and detailed records will provide solid guarantees for the long-term and stable operation of the equipment. By following this guide, users can ensure that the ceramics machine is always in the best condition and brings higher economic benefits to the enterprise.
