Is your factory often encountered this situation: the installation of the newly purchased chain conveyor line delayed for half a month production line can not start work? In the middle of the night, when the equipment is stuck in the chain, you can't find anyone to repair it? Don't worry, Songjiang local manufacturers of "quick installation and repair" programme, has long been these problems to the death! Last week, a packaging plant in Jiu Ting Town, just tested -From equipment to plant to production in 53 hours.The installation took a full 6 days faster than a traditional installation! Today, let's break it down and find out what these local techs are really up to 👇!
🔧 I. Installation: modular assembly, as simple as building blocks
Why is traditional installation slow? Have to rely on the crane lifting the whole machine, on-site welding bracket, repeated calibration level ... a set of processes down no ten days can not get. But Songjiang manufacturers are now playingPrefabricated modular--Conveyor lines are disassembled into "Lego pieces" before they leave the factory:
- Segmented body with wheels: 3 metres per section with gimbals, two people can push it 🚀
- Magnetic rail interface: "Snapped" into place automatically, 5 times faster than screwing.
- Laser marking base plate: The green light directly marks the perforation position when placed on the ground.
Take a real case: Sijing Town electronics factory last year to change the line, the masters originally planned to stop working for a week. As a result, the Songjiang team directly pulled in 20 modules.Installation of new wires while removing old onesIn the end, the assembly line only stopped for 28 hours! The boss was so happy that he slapped his thighs: "This is a saving of 80,000 output per day!"
🚀 Second, the maintenance chapter: 24-hour response + intelligent prediction of failure
Midnight equipment lying down the most deadly? Pine River manufacturers directly give you triple insurance:
- Mobile applet remote diagnosis: Scanning the QR code of the device immediately shows the point of failure (e.g. link jamming position / motor overheating cause)
- Accessory Map Service: Open the APP to automatically locate the nearest spare parts warehouse (Jiu Ting/Xinqiao/Sheshan have reserve points)
- Quick Repair Trio::
- Chain quick release buckle: tool-free 30 seconds to replace bad links
- Orbital patch: metal ceramic sheet directly on the worn area
- Intelligent tensioner: automatically detect chain slackness and alarm
On a typhoon day last year, a food factory in Chedun Town was paralysed by water in its conveying line. The local team rushed over there with waterproof chain links.2 hours to resume production--To switch to an out-of-state manufacturer, it would take three days just to wait for parts!
📊 Third, the traditional maintenance vs. local fast maintenance comparison (see immediately save 300,000)
| sore point | traditional approach | Matsue Local Programme |
|---|---|---|
| Installation cycle | 7-15 days (affecting production) | ≤3 days(parallel construction in sections) |
| Sudden Failure Response | 48 hours to start | ≤ 4 hours to arrive |
| Spare parts costs | Whole chain replacement ¥20,000+ | Module replacement ¥2000/section |
| Retrofitting flexibility | Requires shutdown for cutting and welding | Hot Swap Expansion |
Measured data from a packaging plant in Songjiang: modular installation is better than the traditional way.Speed up 72 hoursThe installation cost is reduced by 40%.
🤔 Fourth, the white guide to avoid the pit: stare at these three points do not lose
1️⃣ Before signing the contract, ask about the details of the "three packages".
- Does it containNight-time emergency service charge? (Many outsourced teams add 80% at night)
- Warranty on core parts for several years? (Sprocket/motor guaranteed for at least 3 years)
- can it or can't itSpare machines available free of chargeWhat? (I'm borrowing your temporary line for the duration of the overhaul.)
2️⃣ Focus on "two corners and one seam" during acceptance.
- track corner: No bumps on the interface by hand (to prevent the chain from hanging)
- Chain Corner: 90° bend and listen for "clunks".
- plate chain gap: You can only pass if you can't draw it out of a piece of A4 paper.
3️⃣ Don't pay yearly for maintenance! Try something new!
Now Matsue head manufacturers pushvolumetric billing-For example:
- Basic service fee ¥5000/year (including 4 inspections)
- ¥300 per visit (including labour within 2 hours)
- Accessories are extra but clearly labelled
There's a power plant in Qingpu that switched to this model.Annual maintenance cut from $120,000 to $70,000It also avoids the waste of "annual subscription but not used"!
💡 Exclusive view: localisation services will be even more "sick" in the next three years.
A trend was noticed while wandering around the Matsue factory.Manufacturers are starting to install "black boxes" in their equipment.! For example, the conveyor line of a machinery factory in Chedun Town has sensors buried in each chain. It can anticipate:
- linksHow much life is left?(extrapolated from wear factor)
- When to Grease(Double warning for temperature + coefficient of friction)
- Which station hurts the equipment the most(overload impact force overload link)
Even better - this data is synchronised directly to the mobile phone.You don't have to report it broken, the repairman comes to your door with spare parts.! I've heard that the pilot company's breakdown downtime is pressed to 17 minutes/year... who can carry that kind of efficiency?
