How should various components of concrete mixing plant equipment be maintained?

After purchasing the concrete mixing plant equipment, do everyone want to use it for a longer time? So, how can we use it for a longer period? Concrete mixing plants are just like cars; they both need maintenance. If well maintained, they can be used for a long time. So, how do we carry out maintenance? Today, I'm here to introduce to you the maintenance instructions for various components.

First, let me tell you what components make up a concrete mixing plant. It is a professional equipment for producing concrete, which is composed of a concrete mixer, a concrete batching machine, a screw conveyor, a cement silo, a control system, a storage system, etc. After understanding the composition of a concrete mixing plant, the following article will tell you how to maintain various accessories.

01

Maintenance of concrete mixers

The concrete mixer can be said to be the main component of a concrete mixing plant. Without it, the concrete mixing plant cannot operate. Therefore, maintaining the concrete mixer well is also something we need to do. For the maintenance personnel of our concrete mixing plant, the following points need to be achieved.

The lubricating oil of the reducer of the concrete mixer needs to be replaced after the first 50 hours of use. Thereafter, the lubricating oil of the reducer should be replaced every 1,000 hours or at least every six months. The oil pump needs to be checked every day to ensure that the lubricating grease has truly reached the shaft head.

After one cycle of operation of the concrete mixer, the residual mixture should be removed, and the mixing shaft, mixing arm and mixing knife should be cleaned. When performing manual cleaning, it is strictly forbidden to use a hammer to remove the residual mixture, as violent impact may cause the mixing knife to break.

C. When the clearance between the components of the concrete mixer is greater than 8mm, the clearance should be adjusted to 3mm by adjusting the blades or replacing the vulnerable parts.

02

Maintenance of concrete batching machines

We need to conduct daily inspections of the concrete batching machine. Any debris found on the screen should be cleared in a timely manner. When the gap is found to be worn out during the inspection, it should be adjusted in time. After being adjusted to the limit position, if further adjustment is still needed, the gap can be adjusted through the welding repair method.

03

Maintenance of screw conveyors

The operators of the equipment should check every day whether the belt is running correctly. If any deviation is found, it should be adjusted in time to avoid damage to the belt. Check the usage effect of the belt cleaner and adjust or replace it in a timely manner. Check whether there is any material adhering to the idlers and rollers. If there is, it should be removed in time. Check if there is any damage on the surface of the belt. If there are any signs of damage, they should be repaired in time to prevent the damage from spreading.

04

Maintenance of cement silos

The operators of the concrete mixing plant should inspect the cement silo every hour. If ash comes out of the pressure safety valve on the top of the silo, they should promptly clean the safety valve and the surrounding powder to prevent the powder from clumping due to rainwater and causing the safety valve to fail. At the same time, a comprehensive cleaning and inspection of the safety valve should be carried out every six months.

05

Maintenance of the control system

The control system of a mixing plant is just like the human brain and is one of the very important devices in the mixing plant. We need to conduct daily checks on the control system and deal with any problems immediately. In addition, a monthly inspection of the control system should be conducted every month to test whether the related electrical appliances are functioning properly.

The above five points are what the editor has introduced to you about how to maintain the equipment of a concrete mixing plant. Only by doing a good job in the maintenance of each piece of equipment in the concrete mixing plant can its service life be prolonged and the frequency of machine failures be reduced. These details must be paid attention to.
