What are the key points for daily maintenance and care of screw conveyor machines ?
1. Check before starting
Check whether the various connection parts of the screw conveyor are firm and whether the bolts and nuts are loose.
Check whether the spiral blades are deformed or worn. If there are any problems, repair or replace them in time.
Check whether the drive belt (or chain) of the drive device is properly tensioned and adjust it if necessary.
Check whether the feed and discharge ports of the conveyor are blocked to ensure they are unobstructed.
Check the electrical system of the equipment, including whether the motor, controller, sensor, etc. are normal and whether the wires and cables are damaged.
2. Precautions during operation
Observe the operation of the screw conveyor and pay attention to any abnormal noise, vibration and heating. If any abnormality occurs, stop the machine immediately for inspection.
Control the material conveying volume and avoid overloading to prevent damage to the equipment.
Pay attention to the properties of the material. For materials that are highly viscous and prone to agglomeration, prevent clogging.
Check the drive temperature and current regularly to ensure they are operating within normal range.
3. Regular maintenance
Clean the dust, debris and residual materials inside and outside the conveyor to keep the equipment clean.
Inspect and repair the spiral blades regularly, and replace those that are severely worn in time.
Check the lubricating oil (grease) of the drive device and add or replace it in time to ensure good lubrication.
Check and lubricate each bearing of the conveyor and replace them in time if any damage occurs.
Check the seals of the equipment regularly and replace them in time if they are damaged to ensure the sealing of the equipment.
Perform regular inspection and maintenance on electrical systems, including cleaning, tightening terminals, and checking insulation performance.
4. Long-term shutdown for maintenance
If the screw conveyor is out of use for a long time, the equipment should be cleaned, especially the materials inside should be completely removed.
For rust-proof treatment of the Heavy Duty Screw Conveyor equipments, you can apply anti-rust oil or take other anti-rust measures.
Maintain the drive device, such as covering the motor to prevent moisture.
Check the equipment regularly to ensure it remains in good condition while out of service.
Doing a good job of daily maintenance and care of the screw conveyor can extend the service life of the equipment, improve the operating efficiency of the equipment, and ensure the smooth progress of production.
