简体中文 🤔 You've just taken over a production line and what happens when the conveyor line suddenly jams?
To be honest, the first time encountered the conveyor line strike, anyone would be numb - the line stopped, the boss's face darker than the bottom of the pot! But don't panic, let's break it down and talk about it today!5 Life-Saving Tips for MaintenanceRemember, the conveyor line is not made of iron. Remember ah, the conveyor line is not iron, it is like your car, diligent maintenance in order to run far. To give a real example: a food factory workers lazy did not clear the sauce residue, three months after the chain rusted to death, direct shutdown of production for three days loss of 300,000 yuan.
🧼 I. Cleaning is the basic of life: do not let the rubbish "gnaw" equipment
Q: Isn't it a waste of time to wipe equipment every day?
Big mistake! You see the small particles stuck in the seam of the conveyor belt, just like the sand in the shoes, walking for a long time quasi-abrasion bleeding. The key action is just three points:
- 5 minutes of prime time before work: Blow drum seams with compressed air (a must for dusty households), wipe chain plate grease with a damp cloth, and remember to use food-grade disinfectant in food factories;
- ⚠️ Focus on the dead zoneThe grooves in the drum bearings and the chain seams love to hide dirt, so take an old toothbrush and stick it in there to dig it out;
- With sticky things.: Alcohol pads for glue stains, soaking warm water for syrup residue - never take a steel ball and scrape hard!
📌lesson learnt through blood and tears: A courier sorting centre conveyor line stuck into the plastic sheet, the drum motor burned three, the maintenance fee is enough to ask the cleaning half a year!
⚙️ Second, lubrication should be like skin care: the right oil will not hurt you!
Q: Can I just put some lubricant on it?
Ouch, what's the difference between that and putting motor oil on your face! Different parts are like different skin types:
| place | Recommended Lubricants | cyclicality | Operation Secrets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chains / Chainplates | Lithium grease No.2 (room temperature) | 1 time per week | Drops on the inside of the chain ✅ Don't apply surface inviting grey! |
| Heavy Duty Bearings | Extreme pressure lithium grease (high temperature workshop) | 1 every 3 days | Squeeze to the bearing ball gap 💧 eight full stops |
| moderator | L-CKD220 Gear Oil | First 500 hours for ⚠️ | The middle line of the oil window is the golden water level |
Guide to avoiding the pitA certain auto parts factory sprayed WD-40 on the chain, and the oil film couldn't hold up the pressure, and the chain broke and smashed the sensor. Remember.Insufficient lubrication is short-lived, and excessive grey is even more destructive to the equipment!
👁️ Third, the examination should learn from the old Chinese medicine: looking, sniffing and checking to prevent future diseases
Spending 3 minutes a day before work starts can save 3 hours of maintenance::
- towards: Is the belt cracked? Look closely at the edges like you would for a cracked tyre;
- auscultation: Does the motor have a burning smell? Overheated bearings can smell like burnt plastic;
- correspond to: The back of the hand touches the frame - slight vibration is normal, numb hand indicates that the motor is out of balance!
WeeklyTake a tape measure and measure the belt tension - tighten it immediately if it sags more than 2cm, otherwise it will slip and strike in minutes.
💡Sharing: In the tensioning wheel on the marking tape, offset over 5mm immediately alarm, this trick makes an electronics factory failure rate down 70%!
🛑 IV. Don't be a reckless operator: rules are life preservers
Three deadly behaviours on the assembly line::
- Overloading as a skill1 tonne off the mark and 2 tonnes on the pull? Waiting to hear the bearing "crunch" symphony!
- Hard to dislike the card material: Poking clogs with a crowbar? Beware of the drum bouncing back and smashing your face! The correct operation is 👉 stop → reverse 5 seconds → clear the blockage;
- Repair of electrified games: Reaching out without stopping the power? A carton factory worker's glove rolled into gear, three fingers for a lesson...
The Golden Rule: The emergency stop button is not for show, shoot down when you encounter an abnormality and talk about it! Test the emergency stop function once a month, and practice to react within 1 second for those with slow hands.
🌡️ V. Environmental adaptation is smart: making equipment "live comfortably"
Q: What should I do if I can't change the workshop environment?
A little brainstorming can defuse the situation! Teaching you a few tricks to save money on remodelling:
- dust room: Add a pleated dust cover to the chain (cost $200/m) and save 3 hours over weekly dismantling and washing;
- Wet warehouse: Use calcium compound grease for the bearings and sprinkle some food grade desiccant on the electrical box;
- freezer compartment: Replacement of cold-resistant polyurethane belts, which are still flexible at minus 25°C.
miraculous operation: A seafood processing plant installed a water catch tray underneath the conveyor line, draining an extra 5 litres of condensate per day and extending the life of the motor by two years!
💎 Exclusive datapad (from the handwriting of a ten-year maintenance veteran)
▶️ Maintenance inputs vs. repair costs: a line body that spends $500 a month on maintenance is more expensive than one that is not maintainedSave an average of $23,000 a year on maintenance.;
▶️ Fatal Negligence Leaderboard.Improper lubrication (37%) > Overloading (28%) > Lack of cleaning (19%).;
▶️ New predictive maintenance trick: Putting temperature patches on critical bearings, which automatically change colour when they exceed 70°C, saves you a lot of work compared to a temperature gun!
Finally, let's be honest: don't wait for the equipment to gulp before you rescue it! Conveyor line maintenance is like eating -Save a bite a day, fix a night at the end of the month. Now start to follow these five steps, three years later your production line is still spreading, the factory next door may have changed the third set of equipment...
