How to Maintain a Filling Machine?

How should Jinrong Machinery maintain the filling machine?

• Before starting work each day, observe the moisture filter and lubricator in the pneumatic combination unit. Drain any excessive accumulated water promptly, and refill the lubricator if the oil level is insufficient.
• During production, frequently inspect the mechanical components of the filling machine. Check if rotation and lifting movements are normal, if there are any abnormalities, and if any screws are loose.
• Regularly check the filling machine’s grounding wire to ensure reliable contact.
• Frequently clean the weighing platform.
• Check pneumatic lines for leaks and inspect hoses for cracks or damage.
• Replace the lubricating oil (or grease) in the gearmotors and motors annually. Check chain tension and adjust it promptly to maintain proper tightness.
• If the machine will be idle for an extended period, drain all material from the pipelines.
• Maintain cleanliness: Keep the machine’s exterior surfaces clean. Regularly remove accumulated material from the weighing body. Pay attention to keeping the electrical control cabinet clean.
• Sensor Care: Sensors are high-precision, highly sealed, and highly sensitive devices. They must not be impacted or overloaded. Avoid contact with sensors during operation. Do not disassemble them unless required for maintenance.

Environmental Requirements for the Filling Machine:

• The filling machine has specific environmental requirements. The indoor humidity should be moderate, and the area should be well-ventilated and clean.
• Since the main structure of the filling machine is typically made of stainless steel, and it contains electrical components and machinery, placing it in a damp environment can lead to rust and corrosion. A poorly ventilated environment hinders heat dissipation during operation.

Pre-Operation and General Maintenance:

• Before use, ensure the power supply is stable. Unstable voltage can cause significant damage to the machinery.
• Periodically lubricate various moving parts of the filling machine to reduce friction resistance and ensure smoother, faster operation.
• Establish a maintenance team responsible for regularly checking the tightness of all mechanical components.
• Perform major cleaning and overhauls periodically. Many companies conduct a comprehensive maintenance and repair session on their machinery once a year.
