Lubrication Management for Briquetting Machines
1. Lubricate Core Components
- Transmission mechanism: Focus on gears and bearings operating at high speeds with concentrated stress
- Extrusion components: Regularly lubricate pressure roller shafts and moving contact surfaces to reduce mechanical resistance
- Conveying mechanism: Lubricate chains and rollers to ensure smooth material flow
- Prevention: Avoid frictional overheating, wear and jamming from insufficient lubrication
2. Lubrication Medium Selection
- High pressure/temperature components: Select greases with suitable viscosity, high temperature resistance and strong load-bearing capacity
- High-speed transmission: Use lubricating oils with good fluidity and cooling effect
- Compatibility: Avoid using incompatible media to prevent lubrication failure or component corrosion
- Oil film stability: Ensure stable oil film formation even under harsh conditions
3. Lubrication Implementation Methods
- Sealed components: Use regular lubrication for bearings and gearboxes to ensure continuous internal oil film
- Exposed components: Apply lubrication by smearing or spraying for pressure rollers and chains
- Coverage: Ensure media evenly covers contact surfaces without missing critical areas
- Avoid excess: Prevent excessive lubrication that can lead to oil buildup and impurities
4. Key Points of Lubrication Management
- Regular inspection: Check lubrication medium condition at lubrication points for deterioration, loss or contamination
- Prompt replacement: Replace deteriorated media and clean residual impurities from component surfaces
- Cycle adjustment: Adjust lubrication frequency based on operating time and conditions, especially during high-load operation
- Storage: Keep lubricating medium storage environment dry and clean
- Documentation: Record lubrication operations to track component status and identify potential problems
