Equipment Inspection Guidelines
Essential procedures for comprehensive equipment inspection before operation
Check the Overall Appearance of the Equipment
Inspect the machine body for any obvious deformation, bumps, or damage:
- Ensure all connections are secure, including frame-to-worktable connections
- Verify securing clips for protective covers are properly fastened
- Address any displaced or damaged components promptly
- Confirm structural integrity to prevent operational instability
Check the Condition of Core Working Components
Focus on components directly involved in the briquetting process:
- Inspect ram surface for wear, cracks, or foreign matter
- Verify mold cavity is clean and unobstructed
- Ensure feed channel is clear of aluminum chips or debris
- Confirm all components are intact and properly aligned
Verify the Condition of the Equipment's Lubrication System
Ensure proper lubrication to minimize frictional losses:
- Check oil level in lubricating oil tank is within specified range
- Verify oil is clear, free of deterioration and impurities
- Confirm all lubrication points (bearings, gears) are properly filled
- Ensure lubrication system is functioning correctly
Inspect the Electrical System Components
Verify electrical safety and proper functioning:
- Check power and control cables for damage or loose connections
- Verify switches, indicator lights, and relays are intact
- Ensure reliable electrical connections with no short circuits
- Test emergency stop button and safety controls for proper function
Clean the Equipment Surroundings and Check Material Condition
Maintain a safe working environment and proper material quality:
- Remove debris from machine body and surrounding area
- Ensure clear and accessible operating space
- Verify aluminum chips are free of large impurities
- Confirm material humidity meets equipment requirements
- Ensure no flammable or explosive materials are present
