How should the power system of the drum-through shot blasting machine be maintained?

May 10, 2025

The power system of the shot blasting machine is the core part of its normal operation, mainly including motors, reducers, transmission devices and other components. In order to ensure that the shot blasting machine can operate stably for a long time and avoid production interruptions or equipment damage due to power system failure, it must be regularly maintained and serviced. The following are the maintenance points of the shot blasting machine power system:


1. Motor maintenance
The motor is a key component of the power system. Long-term operation may be affected by wear, overheating or other factors, resulting in reduced efficiency or failure.
Maintenance measures:
Regularly check the motor: Check the external and internal conditions of the motor to ensure that the motor is not overheated, has odor or abnormal noise. If any abnormality is found, stop the machine in time for inspection and repair.
Clean the surface of the motor: Keep the outside of the motor clean to avoid dust, oil and other factors that affect heat dissipation. In particular, the motor fan and vents should be cleaned regularly to maintain good ventilation.
Check the electrical connection: Check whether the electrical wiring of the motor is firm to avoid short circuits or electrical failures caused by poor contact or loose cables.
Check the operating status of the motor: Regularly check the operating parameters such as the temperature and vibration of the motor to ensure that they are within the specified range. If the temperature is too high or the vibration is abnormal, it may be a precursor to motor failure.


2. Reducer maintenance
The function of the reducer is to drive other equipment by reducing the speed of the motor, so its operating stability directly affects the working efficiency of the shot blasting machine.
Maintenance measures:
Check the reducer oil level regularly: Check the oil level and oil quality of the reducer oil. If the oil level is too low or the oil quality deteriorates, the reducer oil should be replenished or replaced in time. Poor oil quality will increase wear and affect the working efficiency of the reducer.
Check the seal of the reducer: Check the sealing device of the reducer to prevent lubricating oil leakage or dust from entering to ensure the normal operation of the reducer.
Clean the outside of the reducer: Clean the outside of the reducer regularly to avoid dust and oil accumulation, which will affect the heat dissipation effect. Especially in an environment with high humidity, check the waterproof performance of the reducer regularly.
Check the reducer gear: Check the wear of the gears inside the reducer to ensure that there is no serious gear damage or cracks. If abnormal noise or vibration is found, stop the machine for inspection and repair or replace damaged parts.


3. Transmission device maintenance
The transmission device of the shot blasting machine is usually composed of belts, chains, couplings, etc., which are responsible for transmitting power from the motor to other components.
Maintenance measures:
Check the transmission belt or chain: Check the tension of the belt or chain regularly to ensure that it is not too loose or too tight. A loose belt or chain will cause unstable transmission, while a tight belt will increase the load and cause equipment damage.
Lubricate chains and bearings: Lubricate the chains, bearings and other components in the transmission device regularly to avoid wear caused by excessive friction. Use suitable lubricants to avoid oil deterioration or contamination.
Check the coupling: Check whether the coupling is loose or cracked to ensure that the coupling is firmly connected. If problems are found, they should be repaired or replaced in time.


4. Regular lubrication
The various transmission components of the power system, such as motors, reducers, bearings, etc., need to be lubricated regularly to reduce friction and extend the service life of the equipment.
Maintenance measures:
Choose the right lubricant: Choose the right lubricant according to the equipment instruction manual and replace it regularly. Different components and environmental conditions may require different types of lubricants.
Check the quality of lubricating oil: Check the quality of lubricating oil regularly to ensure that there is no pollution or deterioration. Poor oil quality or lack of oil will cause increased wear of parts and even failure.
Clean the lubrication system regularly: Check the lubrication system regularly for blockage, clean the oil system, and ensure the smooth flow of lubricating oil.


5. Adjustment of the transmission system
The power system of the shot blasting machine includes multiple transmission components. The normal adjustment of the transmission system is crucial to the stability of the equipment.
Maintenance measures:
Check the transmission gears and bearings: Check the wear of each transmission gear, bearing and other components. Gear wear or bearing damage will cause the transmission system to operate abnormally and even cause equipment failure.
Adjust the transmission components: According to the operating status of the equipment, adjust the tension, speed and other parameters of the transmission device in time to ensure the smooth operation of the transmission system.
Check the operating status of the bearing: Check the bearing regularly for abnormal sounds or overheating. If problems are found, the bearing should be replaced in time.


6. Monitoring and recording
The regular maintenance and inspection of the equipment should not only rely on the perception of the operator, but also through monitoring and recording means to detect potential problems in time.
Maintenance measures:
Install monitoring devices: You can install temperature, vibration, pressure and other monitoring devices to monitor the working status of key components such as motors and reducers in real time. Through data collection and analysis, potential faults can be discovered in advance.
Establish maintenance records: During each maintenance and inspection, the operation status, maintenance content, and replacement parts of the equipment should be recorded in detail to form a complete equipment file. This not only helps to find equipment problems in time, but also facilitates long-term management of the equipment.


Summary
The maintenance of the power system of the shot blasting machine is an important part of ensuring the long-term and stable operation of the equipment. By regularly checking components such as motors, reducers, and transmission devices, maintaining good lubrication conditions, and replacing worn parts in time, the occurrence of faults can be effectively reduced and the service life of the equipment can be extended. At the same time, reasonable monitoring and maintenance records can also help to find potential problems in time, do preventive work in advance, and avoid equipment downtime or failure.
