The maintenance and maintenance of a brick machine is the key to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment, extend its service life, and improve production efficiency.
1. In daily life, we should pay attention to the following maintenance matters:
1. Cleaning equipment
After work every day, clean the dust, oil and residual materials (such as concrete, clay, etc.) on the surface of the equipment to prevent accumulation from affecting operation. At the same time, check the mold, conveyor belt, vibration table and other parts to avoid hardening and blockage of materials.
2. Lubrication system
Add lubricating oil (such as lithium grease or engine oil) to moving parts such as bearings, chains, guides, gears, etc. according to the instructions. During operation, it should be noted that excessive lubrication may absorb dust and require appropriate operation.
3. Check fasteners
Check whether the bolts and nuts are loose, especially the fixed parts of the vibration motor and mold, and tighten them in time.
4. Electrical system inspection
Check whether the cables, switches, and control cabinets are normal to avoid line aging or short circuit.
Clean the dust in the electrical control box to prevent poor heat dissipation.
II. Regular maintenance
1. Hydraulic system maintenance
Check the hydraulic oil level and oil quality, and replace them regularly.
Clean the hydraulic oil filter to prevent impurities from clogging and causing abnormal pressure.
2. Vibration motor maintenance
- Check whether the motor fixing bolts and eccentric blocks are loose.
- Regularly replace the motor bearing lubricant).
3. Mold maintenance*
- Clean mold residues and spray rust inhibitors or mold release agents.
- Check the mold wear and repair or replace it in time.
4. Transmission component inspection
- Check the tension of belts and chains to avoid slipping or breaking.
- Severely worn belts need to be replaced.
III. Seasonal and annual maintenance
1. Comprehensive lubrication
- Thoroughly lubricate all lubrication points and replace aging grease.
2. Key component inspection
- Disassemble and inspect core components such as hydraulic cylinders, oil pumps, and vibration tables, and replace seals or wear parts.
- Check the degree of wear of bearings and sleeves.
3. Electrical system inspection
- Test the insulation performance of the motor and check whether the contactor and relay contacts are oxidized.
4. Anti-corrosion and anti-rust
- Spray anti-rust paint on the exposed metal parts of the equipment (non-friction surface), especially in humid environments.
IV. Common problems and treatments
1. Poor brick forming
- Check whether the mold is worn, whether the vibration frequency is normal, and whether the material ratio is correct.
2. Abnormal noise of equipment
- It may be due to bearing damage, loose bolts or insufficient lubrication, and it is necessary to stop the machine for investigation.
3. Insufficient pressure in the hydraulic system
- Check whether the oil pump and oil circuit are leaking, and whether the filter element is blocked.
V. Precautions
When shutting down: Before long-term shutdown, the equipment must be thoroughly cleaned, the mold must be oiled for rust prevention, and the power supply must be disconnected.
Operation specifications: Avoid overload operation and train workers to operate correctly.
Record maintenance: Establish a maintenance log to record the time of lubrication and replacement of accessories.
Through systematic maintenance and maintenance, the failure rate of brick machines can be greatly reduced, and production efficiency and product quality can be guaranteed. Different brands and models of brick machines may have specific requirements. It is recommended to refer to the equipment manual and adjust the maintenance plan based on the actual working conditions.
