As core equipment in organic fertilizer production lines, the lifespan of a large wheel compost turning machine directly impacts production costs, making routine maintenance crucial. Mastering the following key points can effectively extend equipment life and ensure stable production.
Regular component inspection is essential. Before daily startup, check the turning gear for looseness and wear, the tire pressure and track tension of the travel mechanism, and the oil and water levels and leaks in the powertrain. Weekly, focus on inspecting the rotating bracket for abnormal noise and the motor and reducer temperature to ensure they exceed 70°C. Monthly, check for cracks in the frame welds, the lubrication of the drive chain, and calibrate the sensor accuracy. Quarterly, conduct a comprehensive inspection, replace severely worn parts, and remove rust and corrosion from structural components.
Lubrication and maintenance are essential. According to the equipment manual, lubricate the wheel’s rotating support bearings with lithium-based grease every 500 hours, lubricate the travel mechanism bearings and gears every 300 hours, and replace the reducer gear oil every 1000 hours. Before refueling, clean the oil fill port. When changing the oil, drain out any old oil and clean the tank thoroughly to prevent impurities from affecting the machine’s operation.
In addition, clean the disc and turning gears of any residual material after each operation. Clean the electrical control cabinet weekly, and maintain the spray system monthly. Proper maintenance of these procedures will ensure the long-term, stable operation of the large wheel compost turning machine, creating greater value for the business.
