Misunderstandings of pellet machine lubrication.

The purpose of pellet machine lubrication work is to ensure the normal operation of equipment, reduce maintenance costs and prolong service life, but the fundamental purpose is to improve the comprehensive economic benefits of customers. Although lubrication costs account for only a small part of the maintenance cost, it has a great influence on the equipment maintenance and production.

There are always some misunderstandings.

• The purpose of pellet machine lubrication is to make the equipment run faster.

The real purpose of lubrication is to provide normal lubrication to maintain the normal operation of the equipment, thus improving the productivity and economic benefits.

• Lubrication is refueling

When the use amount of lubricating oil and the period of checking the amount of oil are confirmed, follow the time and dosage to add and use lubricating oil in correct way. Check every lubricating point in time according to the schedule. Operating and inspecting according to weekly plan. Pay more attention to the key points. Lubrication is not a one time job, it takes a long time and a lot of perseverance.

• The more the merrier

A device has strict rules in the design of its oil tank amount, the operator should fill lubricating oil  according to the directions and daily oil standard. If added too much oil, it may cause some side effects. Following the instruction strictly.

• Any oil can lubricate the machine.

When a device is designed, the designer specifies the lubricant used by the device according to the mechanism, not all the lubricating oil are useful. In order to make the device get reasonable lubrication in different environments, a certain amount of additives may be added in the oil, additives added by various lubricants showing different performance. According to the equipment and environment to choose the right lubricating oil, so they can play a good lubricating effect.

• Reuse of used oil

The waste oil of the equipment after being replaced can also be reused through a series of process. For the lubricating oil with water in it, the oil can be dehydrated through the oil and water separator. The filter can remove mechanical impurities and sludge in lubricating oil.

Lubraction of pellet machine

• Spare parts of pellet mill including roller and die need to use lithium-based lubricants for daily maintenance, two times a day for regular lubrication.
• Gear box parts need to use hyperbolic gear oil lubrication to maintain its operation. Especially pay attention to the first time, the fuel need to join the specified location. And the lubrication is needed every 6 months.

Equipment lubrication is an important way to prevent and postpone parts wear and abrasion. Equipment lubrication is one of the most fundamental and most critical operations, it is the principal part of equipment “management, use, maintenance and repair”. Strengthen the lubrication treatment of the equipment can reduce the physical wear and tear of the equipment, extend the service life of the equipment and replace the spare parts of the equipment, get rid of troubles
