How to extend the service life of packaging machines

How to extend the service life of packaging machines
1. Correct usage method
Mastering the correct usage method during the use of packaging machines can prolong the service life of the equipment. Although a packaging machine is equivalent to a production line with a complex internal structure, it is controlled by a PLC to operate the entire equipment. Our operation is also relatively simple, and the color touch screen can set the parameters of each working link. After setting, just one click to start the switch can run at a uniform speed according to the set program. During the operation of the equipment, if there is a malfunction, a prompt sound will be emitted for automatic reminder and the cause of the malfunction will be displayed on the touch screen.
2. Regular maintenance and upkeep
During the use of the packaging machine, regular maintenance and upkeep should be carried out on the equipment. This can not only repair minor problems that may occur, but also extend the service life of the equipment. Especially for the vacuum pump of the packaging machine, after using it for a period of time, it is necessary to check whether the oil in the vacuum pump needs to be added. The oil color should be checked through the oil window to see if it is normal. If it is cloudy, discolored, or contaminated, it should be replaced in a timely manner. Otherwise, the service life of the vacuum pump will be shortened, and in severe cases, it will also affect the vacuum degree of the product.

3. Timely record usage status
During the use of packaging machines, some factories implement a shift system. Therefore, when we change shifts, especially for equipment operators, we should do a good job of handover to avoid equipment misoperation caused by deviations during use. For any abnormalities that occur during equipment operation, we should promptly report them to the equipment department for timely handling.
