Wood Pellet Machine Gear Box Maintenance Plan

The maintenance plan of the gear box of the wood pellet machine is the key to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend the service life. The following is a detailed maintenance plan:
1. Daily maintenance
‌Cleaning: After work every day, use a clean rag or soft brush to remove dust, oil and debris on the surface of the gear box. Avoid using hard objects to scratch the surface, so as not to damage the protective coating of the gear box of the wood pellet machine. For oil that is difficult to remove, you can use a special cleaner, but choose a cleaner suitable for the material of the gear box to avoid corrosion.
‌Check oil level: Check the oil level of the gear box frequently to ensure that the lubricating oil is in the normal range. If the oil level is found to be too low, lubricating oil should be added in time. The recommended lubricating oil is 18~22 hyperbolic gear oil, and oil with higher viscosity can be used in summer.
‌fastening bolts: Check the footing and connection bolts, including the bolts for lifting the reducer, to ensure that they are not loose. If it is loose, tighten it in time. ‌Lubrication: after each shift, clean the dust on the surface of the equipment, and check the lubrication of the equipment to ensure that the lubrication points are fully lubricated. In particular, press rolls and spindle bearings require regular lubrication.
2. Regular maintenance
‌Replace the lubricating oil: according to the use of the gear box of the wood pellet machine, change the lubricating oil regularly. In general, the gearbox mechanical oil should be replaced in 500 to 1000 hours of mechanical operation, and in other cases it can be replaced every 300 hours. When replacing the lubricating oil, the old oil should be completely drained, and the inside of the gearbox should be cleaned, and then the new lubricating oil should be added to the specified scale.
‌Check for wear: Check roller conditioning and wear at least once a week. Check the wear of rollers and molds every month, and replace them in time if there is serious wear. At the same time, check whether the seals of the equipment are intact, and if damaged, they should be replaced in time.
‌comprehensive overhaul: every six months or a year to carry out a comprehensive overhaul and maintenance of the equipment, including cleaning, lubrication, adjustment, fastening and so on. During the maintenance process, it is necessary to check the wear of various parts, adjust the gap, and replace the wearing parts.
3. Special maintenance
‌Maintenance after a long outage: Before restarting the equipment after a long outage, a comprehensive inspection and maintenance should be carried out, including cleaning, lubrication, checking the electrical system, etc.
‌troubleshooting: When the equipment fails, it should be stopped in time for maintenance. Comprehensive testing and inspection should be carried out after maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
In summary, the maintenance plan of the gear box of the wood pellet machine needs to start from the three aspects of daily maintenance, regular maintenance and special maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend the service life.
