Metal Chip Briquetting Press Maintenance Guide
Essential procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your equipment
Regular Inspection of Core Components
Daily inspections should focus on core components such as the press head, chamber, and blades.
- Observe the press head for scratches or deformation
- Check chamber wall for residual metal chips or debris
- Clean promptly to prevent impact on briquetting quality
- Check the sharpness and tightness of blades
- If worn or loose, polish or tighten promptly
- Inspect the frame and joints for loose bolts
Regular inspections prevent malfunctions caused by loose components during long-term operation.
Daily Inspection Checklist
Hydraulic System Maintenance
The hydraulic system is critical to equipment operation and requires regular maintenance.
- Regularly check hydraulic oil level and condition
- Replenish oil if level is below standard
- Replace oil if turbid, discolored, or containing impurities
- Clean tank to prevent impurities from clogging hydraulic lines
- Inspect hydraulic lines and joints for leaks
- Replace seals or tighten joints if leaks found
- Regularly inspect hydraulic valves and cylinders
Proper hydraulic maintenance ensures stable operation and prevents pressure loss.

Equipment Cleaning and Lubrication Management
Proper cleaning and lubrication are essential for equipment longevity and performance.
- After each use, thoroughly clean equipment
- Remove metal chips and dust from material chamber
- Wipe oil stains from equipment surface
- Focus on cleaning feed and discharge ports
- Ensure unobstructed material flow
- Add appropriate lubricant to all lubrication points
- Lubricate cutter shaft bearings and ram guide rails
Proper lubrication reduces friction and wear while preventing lubricant from entering the hydraulic system.

Safety Device and Parameter Verification
Regular verification of safety devices and operating parameters ensures safe and efficient operation.
- Verify effectiveness of all safety devices
- Test responsiveness of emergency stop button
- Check operation of overload protection device
- Verify proper locking mechanism of safety door
- If any safety device malfunction detected, shut down immediately
- Verify equipment operating parameters
- Check compression pressure and ram speed
Regular parameter verification prevents overloading or substandard briquetting quality due to improper settings.
