Here are the correct operation steps for a metal chips press:
- Preparation before operation: First, check the equipment carefully to ensure that all components are in good condition, there are no loose screws or damaged parts. Then, make sure the hydraulic oil level is sufficient and the oil quality is good. Clean the feeding hopper and compression chamber to remove any debris or foreign objects that could affect the operation.
- Feeding metal chips: Slowly and evenly feed the metal chips into the feeding hopper. Avoid over - feeding or jamming the hopper. The feeding speed should be adjusted according to the capacity and power of the press to ensure a smooth feeding process. If the metal chips are too large or long, they may need to be pre - cut or crushed to a suitable size to facilitate feeding and compression.
- Setting parameters: Set the appropriate compression pressure and time according to the type and quantity of metal chips. This usually requires referring to the equipment manual or based on previous experience. Generally, different metals and chip sizes may require different pressure and time settings to achieve the best compression effect.
- Starting the compression process: After setting the parameters, start the press. The hydraulic system will drive the piston to exert pressure on the metal chips in the compression chamber. During the compression process, pay attention to the operation of the equipment. Listen for any abnormal noises and observe the pressure gauge to ensure that the pressure is within the normal range.
- Ejecting the compressed blocks: Once the compression is complete, use the ejection mechanism to push the compressed metal blocks out of the compression chamber. Be careful when handling the compressed blocks as they may be hot and heavy. Place them in the designated storage area for further processing or transportation.
- Post - operation maintenance: After the operation is completed, turn off the power supply. Clean the equipment thoroughly, especially the feeding hopper, compression chamber, and ejection mechanism, to remove any remaining metal chips and dust. Regularly check and maintain the hydraulic system, replace the hydraulic oil and filters according to the recommended intervals to ensure the normal operation of the equipment
