(一)、How to Conduct Static Maintenance of Carton Machinery
Carton machinery refers to large and medium-sized carton machinery, such as Chinese fast food bento boxes, disposable paper cups, model drawing packaging, etc. These products can be regarded as the specialized carton machinery in the packaging industry. There are nearly ten thousand carton machinery (box) packaging factories across the country. Over the past decade or so, the circulation industry of carton machinery has had a high demand for corrugated cardboard boxes, carton machinery (boxes), and printing machinery.
Inspection of the Preparation Status of Carton Machinery. The preparation status of carton machinery can be inspected by starting the machine or engaging the clutch. For example, check if there are other objects like one-to-one tools stuck inside the carton machinery; whether the installation position of the printing plate is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, it may damage the printing plate or cause great difficulties in meeting the requirements; whether the installation of the screen printing plate is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, the carton machinery may cause printing failures, and in severe cases, it may damage the screen printing plate or the carton machinery.
The Lubrication Status of Carton Machinery. Firstly, for carton machinery, we can observe whether the oil circuit is unobstructed through the oil level indicator. If there is no oil in the oil level indicator or it is difficult to observe clearly at the oil level indicator, the machine should be emergently stopped and a careful inspection should be carried out to see if there is an oil leakage situation in the oil circuit. Although the oil leakage of carton machinery is relatively easy to observe, it is very difficult to find out the cause. For carton machinery using bearings and other components, low speed is not conducive to its lubrication, especially starting or running at a low speed has a greater impact on its lubrication. Therefore, before carrying out such operations on carton machinery, it is best to let the carton machinery idle first to supply oil for lubrication. This is an important task that should be done before each shift of work.
The oil pumps of some carton machinery are driven by the main engine. Therefore, when the machine is reversed, the oil circuit not only cannot supply oil but will instead suck the oil in the oil circuit back into the fuel tank, which is very dangerous. Therefore, reversing the machine should be avoided. The lubrication of some relatively important parts of the carton machinery can also be inspected by the temperature of the surrounding metal. If the temperature is too high, it indicates that there is a problem with the lubrication.
The Impact During the Operation of Carton Machinery. The lower the impact during the operation of the carton machinery, the more beneficial it is for printing, and it can also extend the service life of the carton machinery. Reducing the printing pressure (theoretical pressure) is a necessary condition to ensure the stable operation of the carton machinery. Under the condition of ensuring the quality of the printed products of the carton machinery, the lower the printing pressure, the better.
Reducing the speed of the carton machinery is another necessary condition to reduce the inertia force of the carton machinery. The lower the speed of the carton machinery, the smaller its inertia force. Therefore, the carton machinery should not always be running at a high speed. The above aspects are only part of the daily maintenance and upkeep content of the carton machinery. The quality of the daily maintenance and upkeep of the carton machinery directly affects the service life of the carton machinery and the quality of the products. Therefore, it should not be taken lightly.
(二)、Why Does the Aging Speed of Carton Machinery Equipment Become Faster and Faster?
There are various reasons for the accelerated aging speed of carton machinery equipment. The following are some possible factors:
Quality Differences of Machinery Equipment: There are significant differences in the quality of carton machinery equipment produced by different manufacturers, and this difference directly affects the aging speed of the equipment. Equipment with poor quality is prone to wear and aging during use.
Quality Problems of Raw Materials: Some carton machinery equipment uses inferior raw materials during the production process. This not only increases the risks during the use of the equipment but also shortens the service life of the equipment. Inferior raw materials may lead to a decrease in the performance and corrosion resistance (based on the actual report) of the internal parts of the equipment, thus accelerating the aging of the equipment.
Improper Maintenance: Carton machinery equipment needs to be regularly maintained and serviced during use to ensure its normal operation. However, some enterprises may neglect this, resulting in the equipment not being maintained during long-term use, thus accelerating the aging of the equipment.
Harsh Usage Environment: The usage environment of carton machinery equipment also has a certain impact on its aging speed. If the equipment is in a humid, dusty environment or an environment with too high or too low temperature for a long time, the internal parts of the equipment are likely to be corroded and worn, leading to an accelerated aging speed.
Improper Operation: Some operators may not have mastered the operation skills of the carton machinery equipment proficiently when using it, resulting in the equipment being affected by improper operation during use, accelerating its aging.
In conclusion, the reasons for the accelerated aging speed of carton machinery equipment are multifaceted, including not only the quality problems of the equipment itself but also environmental factors and operation problems during use. Therefore, in order to extend the service life of carton machinery equipment, enterprises should select high-quality equipment, strengthen the maintenance of the equipment, optimize the usage environment of the equipment based on actual effects, and improve the skill level of operators.
