How To Extend The Lifespan Of Easily Worn Parts in A Cable Recycling Machine
Jun 15, 2026
1. Standardized Operation, Avoiding Abnormal Losses
Control Feed Speed and Size: Avoid feeding too much or too thick cable at once (e.g., Φ>30mm) to prevent excessive impact on the cutting tools, which could lead to chipping.
Remove Impurities from Raw Materials: Remove mud, oil, iron blocks, and other foreign objects before feeding to reduce wear on the screen and bearings.
Prohibit Overloading: Adhere to the equipment's rated processing capacity (e.g., 500kg/h) to avoid prolonged overload and overheating of the motor and transmission system.
2. Regular Lubrication and Cleaning
Bearing Lubrication: Add high-temperature grease every 150 hours of operation to prevent overheating from dry grinding; replace dust seals promptly if seals are poor.
Clean Screens and Air Ducts: After daily shutdown, remove accumulated material from the screen bottom and dust from the air separation channel to prevent blockages that could affect sorting efficiency.
Dust Collection System Maintenance: The bag filter should be inspected weekly. The pulse cleaning system must ensure normal air pressure and maintain a dust collection efficiency of ≥99%.
3. Selection of High-Wear-Resistant Wear Parts
Upgraded Tool Material: Prioritize carbide or high-chromium alloy steel blades, extending their lifespan by 2-3 times compared to ordinary steel.
Industrial-Grade Bearings and Belts: Use bearings from brands such as NSK and SKF, paired with high-temperature resistant V-belts, improving stability and fatigue resistance.
4. Timely Replacement and Condition Monitoring: Establish a wear part replacement record and predict replacement cycles based on actual wear:
Blades: Inspect the cutting edge when processing 80-100 tons; sharpen or replace if significant dulling occurs.
Screens: Check for deformation and clogging every 3 months.
Dust Collector Bags: Assess permeability after 6 months of continuous operation; clean or replace if pressure differential increases.
During operation, pay attention to abnormal signals such as unusual noises, vibrations, and temperature increases; immediately stop the machine and investigate.
5. Improved Working Environment: Place the equipment in a dry, well-ventilated workshop to avoid rainwater erosion and corrosive gases corroding metal parts. During periods of high summer temperatures, enhance heat dissipation to prevent premature aging of motors and bearings due to poor heat dissipation.
