Common Mechanical Failures of High Volume Horizontal Balers

Equipment Failure Analysis Report

1. Power System Abnormalities

  • Hydraulic systems are prone to insufficient or fluctuating pressure, manifesting as weakened compression force and loosened compression blocks.
  • This can be caused by hydraulic pump wear (resulting in insufficient oil supply) or hydraulic oil contamination/pipe blockage (causing pressure loss).
  • Aging and damage to cylinder seals can cause oil leakage, reducing power output and potentially polluting the operating environment.
  • Unusual noises, overheating, or difficulty starting the motor often indicate bearing wear, winding aging, or unstable voltage.

2. Compression Mechanism Stuck

  • If the compression plate becomes stuck or stalled, this is often due to insufficient lubrication of the guide rails (increased friction) or metal debris in the guide rails (causing scratches).
  • Loose or deformed wear-resistant linings on the inner wall of the compression chamber can hinder plate movement and cause abnormal vibration.
  • Hard foreign matter mixed with the material can cause uneven force on the compression plate, leading to deformation and jamming.
  • Severe cases may damage drive components.

3. Transmission and Strapping Failures

  • Poor transmission chain/gear engagement causes abnormal noises and reduced power transmission efficiency (loose chains, worn gears, or lubrication failure).
  • Common strapping failures: poor feed, loose knots, or abnormal strap cutting (worn feed pulleys, malfunctioning tension adjustment, or blunt/misaligned cutters).
  • Delayed coordination between strapping and compression mechanisms can cause unbound bundles to be ejected, impacting operational continuity.

4. Control System Failures

  • Sensor failure can lead to equipment misjudging operating status (inaccurate feed level detection causing overload or insufficient feed).
  • Unresponsive control panel buttons and flashing indicator lights may indicate poor wiring, relay failure, or program errors.
  • Automated process interruptions (failure to initiate strapping after compression) are often due to signal transmission failures.
  • Check wiring terminals and control module operating status.
