How to maintain a color sorter
The saying 'three parts rely on repair, seven parts rely on maintenance' is suitable for many products, especially fine color selection machines.
Encountering many customers, when buying a machine, they carefully select and compare, and in the end, when the machine is bought back, they don't ask and let it work day and night. If there is a problem, immediately call the manufacturer for repair and complain about the quality of the machine.
No matter how good the machine is, if it is not protected or maintained, it will become a pile of broken copper and scrap iron, just like a car. The better the car, the more maintenance is needed.
The color sorter belongs to the category of optoelectronic integrated machines with high precision, so it requires more daily protection and maintenance.
Next, let's take a look at how our engineers teach you how to maintain the color sorter, ensure its sorting quality, and extend its lifespan.
Daily protection requirements:
1. Clean the glass surface of the sorting box well
2. Properly investigate whether there is a significant deviation during the operation of the large belt, and correct it if there is
3. When the machine is operating in a dusty environment, it is necessary to clean the dust from the frequency converter, fan, motor fan, etc. (air gun can be used)
4. After stopping the machine, check if there is any material stuck on the small belt and pulley. If there is, remove it
5. After completing the day's homework, it is necessary to drain water from the air compressor
Protection required every week:
1. Check if there is any material adhesion on the front and rear axles of the belt bed, and promptly remove it if there is
2. Regarding certain highly viscous materials (such as shrimp, garlic, and pine nuts), after one week of operation, there may be some material accumulation on the oscillating hopper, chute, and large conveyor belt bed. It is necessary to remove and clean them thoroughly
Monthly protection requirements:
1. Open the upper and lower sorting boxes, clean the inside of the upper glass, the surface of the lower light source, the lens of the lower camera, the double-layer double-sided lower camera reflector and its lens,
During this process, when cleaning high-precision parts such as cameras, attention should be paid to detail and even slight cleaning. It is recommended to use cotton balls and alcohol to scrub and remove dust. Finally, when closing the sorting box cover, ensure a tight seal
2. Check if there are any loose screws or connectors inside and outside the machine, such as screws near the oscillator or connectors inside the sorting box. If there is any looseness, please act quickly
3. Consider adding butter to oilable bearings
4. Regarding vulnerable parts, if the dust cleaning brush and small belt wear out significantly, it is necessary to consider whether to replace them
5. Regarding testing each valve, if there are any abnormalities, repair or consider replacing the solenoid valve is required
