Reasonable lubrication and maintenance is make sure machine running normal and extend the
life of an important guarantee ,please strict implementation.
1.Lubricate
① Air components lubrication: using 20# engines oil,centralized automatic lubricator oil. To
keep the height of the normal oil surface.
② The moving parts lubrication:use 30 # engines oil, according to the actual situation
refueling to correct setting the inverter of numbers and times.
③Lubrication of rolling bearings: use calcium-based grease, replace it every six month.
④The surface of cam using 00# oil,each time refueling a day.
⑤It should change a time after reducer first using 500-1000hours, after change it 3000hours
per time.
⑥ Change engines oil should before the reducer stop, lubrication oil not cooled when
discharge lane
2.Maintenance
① After stop the machine,turn off electric,water,air on time,prevent from the foreign objects
into cavity,the status of up and lower molds is clamping position.
②Air tank needs often water draining,the components of a whole machine keep it clean, the
touched sheet and finished parts are pay attention to sanitary requirements.
③ Should always check the each fastener are loosen,the new machine after running
3-5times,should re-locked each fastener again, it needs centralized maintenance half an
year.
④ Frequently cleaning the surface of cam greaves and dusty,and keep the around
environments clean, increasing the cam using life.
II.Molds Maintenance
③Check mold stopper assist degree of tightness per 8 hours(such as:Carefully tighten the
loose nuts) are the same level or not ( using level ruler).
3.Mould Storage
①The mold should be stored in a dry room with air conditioning. If the room have heavy air
humidity,should be all shiny surface coated with Vaseline, rust inhibitor to be protected.
②If the space allowed, the mold upper and lower halves motif separately placed. Note the
pressure stopper assist rod , plunger vertically upward. In this way to save, it can prevent
mold-oriented institutions tilt deformation, the shear cutter edge of the mold can be protected,
not damaged.
③If the two and a half mold can not separated placed, you can upright it on a dedicated mould
shelves, put a wood plate in between of upper cutter and lower cutter to prevent the upper
and lower cutter edge into deep mutual wear.
④Clearing up mould cooling water in cooling waterways,holes( such as adopt compressed air).
Especially in winter,when keep the mould under the without anti frost house,any water stay in
the cooling waterways will damage mould.
4.Maintenance
①Upper shearing cutter edge,down cutter edge and others movement parts of moulds are
easy suffered abrasion.
②Extending the blade life, generally the upper shearing,lower cutter edge parts that will
processing more longer, in order to later be able to grind several time.Machine cutting depth
(commonly know as cam high point ) should as low as possible, makes lower cutter not
inserted into upper cutter too much when cutting, reduce the abrasion.
③When using the filler metal (eg welding) practic repair avalanche crushed the cutter edge,the
cutter edge will be deformed or cracked. In order to more easy maintenance and ensure
products quality,processing the upper cutter hardness lower than down cutter. Basically, the
upper cutter hardness 55-58HRC,lower cutter hardness 60-65HRC.
④the extent of the material rubbed off from the shearing, mold upper mold blank holder of the
body's front-end may also need to re-processing (such as wear thinner).No matter how,must
be ensure that have enough space makes blank holder was pressured spring retracted on
upper shearing . Retracted on the upper shear distance at least equal to the cutting depth of
the machine (common 2.0 - 2.5mm, random slightly different).
⑤At most of moulds, lower cutter played forming parts of role.Remembered, unless the plastic
cups shape,dimension changed or others mold parts re-processing at same time,so lower
cutter can re-grind with precision tolerance.
⑥Any impact of a high degree of grinding will probably force the cavity,the top end of such
re-processing, ensure that the size and shape has not changed.
⑦If the shear cutter edge need to re-grinding, and examining others mould components wear
situation also. If necessary, the worn,and unqualified to be replaced. This includes all moving
parts, the middle of the ring, plunger and pre-stretching plug rod guide sleeve,pre-stretching
plug and demolding the role of the cavity.
Note:When re-install a new upper shearings, generally advise to reinstall guider,positioning
parts. - Upper mode install new position pins,guide sleeve or guide post - lower the model
install position pin, guide post or guide sleeve.
⑧These operations must be allowed to competent, experienced personnel in
well-equipped,suitable for maintenance operations mold room operations.If not the condition
have maintenance personnel and tools facilities,it best send back to the original factory repair
double-check to prevent to damage mould.
