How To Regularly Maintain A Cable Separating Machine

I. Daily Cleaning (Perform after each shift's shutdown) Dust and debris easily accumulate during equipment operation, clogging air ducts and screens, affecting sorting efficiency:

1. Crushing Chamber Cleaning: Remove residual cable fragments to prevent excessive load during secondary startup;

2. Air Separation Pipeline Cleaning: Clean at least once a month using a high-pressure air gun to prevent electrostatic adsorption causing plastic backflow;

3. Vibrating Screen Unclogging: Check for blockages in the polyurethane screen plates, flush or replace them promptly to ensure screening rate.

II. Periodic Lubrication (After every 200 hours of operation) Poor lubrication is a major cause of bearing damage and transmission system failure:

1. Add high-temperature grease to key components such as the main shaft bearings and gearbox;

2. Use a manual grease pump or grease gun to ensure sufficient but not excessive grease;

3. Check the oil passages for blockage before lubrication to avoid dry friction.

III. Key Component Inspection and Replacement (Every 600 hours or after processing 80 tons of material) Wear of vulnerable parts directly affects crushing uniformity and separation accuracy:

1. Moving/Fixed Blade Inspection: Measure the wear on the blade edges. Replace the blade when the cumulative wear exceeds 0.5mm; otherwise, the particle size unevenness rate will increase to 31%.

2. Screen Condition Assessment: The lifespan of polyurethane screen plates is approximately 1200 working hours. Exceeding this lifespan increases the copper particle entrainment rate by 2.8 times.

3. Connector Tightness: Check for loose bolts and nuts, especially at the connection points of the grinding roller assembly.

IV. System Inspection (Monthly)

1. Check motor current, bearing temperature (generally ≤70℃), and gearbox oil temperature (≤80℃).

2. Monitor equipment vibration and noise. Immediately stop the machine and investigate if abnormal whistling or shaking is detected.

3. Sealing Point Inspection: Focus on checking for leaks at the shaft seal and machine cover joints to prevent leaks from causing safety accidents.
