Brick Making Machine Maintenance Overview

Brick Making Machine Maintenance Overview

Maintenance of the brick making machine is crucial for ensuring production efficiency and brick quality, reducing failure rates, and extending equipment lifespan. Its core principles are "cleaning, lubrication, tightening, and adjustment."

I. Daily Maintenance (Per Shift/Daily)

This is a fundamental and vital step, requiring performance before and after operation.

Cleaning: After each shift change or shutdown, thoroughly clean residual concrete from components such as the mold box, feeding plate, and press head to prevent hardening and clumping, which can affect subsequent molding and dimensional accuracy.

Remove dust and oil from all parts of the machine.

Inspection and Tightening: Check all bolts and nuts for looseness, especially on critical load-bearing components such as the vibrator and molds.

Lubrication: According to the equipment lubrication diagram, apply appropriate amounts of grease or oil to all bearings, guide rails, chains, and other moving parts to ensure smooth operation.

II. Periodic Maintenance (Based on Working Hours or Output)

This is preventative maintenance, effectively identifying and resolving potential problems.

Hydraulic System Maintenance:

Check Oil Level and Quality: Regularly check the hydraulic oil level and observe for any deterioration or contamination. Replace the hydraulic oil and suction/return filters according to the prescribed cycle (usually 2000 working hours).

Check Piping: Inspect hydraulic hoses and joints for wear, aging, or leaks.

Electrical System Inspection: Check all wiring connections for tightness and clean dust from the electrical box.

Key Component Inspection and Adjustment:

Inspect Molds: Inspect the wear of core forming components such as the mold box and pressure head. Excessive wear will affect the brick size and appearance, requiring timely repair or replacement.

Inspect Vibrator: Ensure the vibrator motor is securely fixed and operating normally.

Adjust Conveyor Belt: Check and adjust the tension of the feed belt and conveyor plate.

III. Long-Term Storage Maintenance

If the equipment needs to be shut down for an extended period, special maintenance is required.

Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the equipment, ensuring no material remains.

Apply anti-rust grease to all exposed metal surfaces (such as molds and piston rods).

Store the equipment in a dry, well-ventilated indoor environment and cover it with a tarpaulin.

Simply put, a well-maintained brick-making machine is like a reliable "money-printing machine," consistently producing high-quality bricks. A poorly maintained machine, on the other hand, will frequently break down, resulting in substandard products and significant losses. Strict maintenance is key to ensuring a return on investment.
