Daily maintenance and upkeep on the automatic shot blasting machine is essential to extend the service life of the equipment, improve work efficiency and ensure production quality. The following are some common daily maintenance and upkeep measures to help ensure that the shot blasting machine can maintain good working condition during long-term use:


1. Regular inspection and cleaning
Clean the shot blasting media: Regularly check the quality of the shot blasting media (such as steel shot or steel sand) to ensure that it is not contaminated or excessively worn. The used shot blasting media needs to be recovered and impurities separated from the equipment to avoid affecting the shot blasting effect.
Clean the working area: Keep the working area of ​​the equipment clean, and regularly clean up the dust, debris and steel shot generated during the shot blasting process to avoid affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Dust removal systems and vacuum equipment can be used to clean the working area.
Clean the shot blasting room: Regularly clean the interior of the shot blasting room to ensure that the steel shot or other shot blasting media can flow smoothly without obstruction.


2. Check the shot blasting wheel and related components
Check the shot blasting wheel: The shot blasting wheel is the core component of the automatic shot blasting machine. Regularly check the operating status of the shot blasting wheel to ensure that its speed is stable. Check the wear of the blades, hubs and motors of the shot blasting wheel. If any problems are found, they should be replaced in time.
Check the angle and adjustment of the shot blasting wheel: Ensure that the angle and position of the shot blasting wheel are in the correct state, and adjust the working angle of the shot blasting wheel regularly to achieve the shot blasting effect.


3. Check the conveying system
Check the crawler or conveyor belt: For crawler or chain conveying systems, regularly check the tightness, wear condition and cracks or damage of the crawler or chain to ensure that the workpiece can be transported smoothly.
Lubricate the conveying system: Check the lubrication points in the conveying system and lubricate them regularly to avoid friction and wear caused by lack of oil.
Check the motor and drive system: Regularly check the motor, reducer and drive system of the conveying system to ensure that the drive system runs smoothly and prevent equipment failure from affecting production progress.


4. Check the electrical control system
Check the electrical wiring: Regularly check the electrical wiring, sensors and control system of the automated shot blasting machine to ensure that the electrical system runs stably without looseness, short circuit or other faults.
Check the control panel: Check the control panel and PLC control system to ensure the normal operation of various functions, such as the speed of the shot blasting wheel, the speed of the crawler, and the time control.
Check the safety device: Ensure that the safety devices such as the safety switch and limit switch in the electronic control system function normally to avoid accidents.


5. Regularly check the filtration and dust removal system
Check the filtration system: The dust removal system of the automatic shot blasting machine is usually equipped with filter elements, dust collectors, and filter bags. The filter elements need to be checked and replaced regularly to ensure good dust removal effects.
Clean the dust collector: Regularly check the operating status of the dust removal equipment and clean up the debris in the dust removal system to keep it working. Keep the air flowing to avoid blockage and dust overflow.


6. Check the wear-resistant parts
Check the wear-resistant parts: The wear-resistant parts in the shot blasting machine, such as the guide plate, liner, and the inner wall of the shot blasting chamber, will wear to varying degrees with use. They must be checked and replaced regularly to ensure that the working effect of the shot blasting machine is not affected.
Replace the worn parts: Regularly check the wear of the shot blasting chamber, shot blasting wheel and other working parts, and replace them in time if abnormalities are found.


7. Check the hydraulic system (if any)
Check the oil level and oil quality: If the automatic shot blasting machine uses a hydraulic system, regularly check the oil level and oil quality of the hydraulic oil to ensure that the hydraulic system is operating normally.
Check the hydraulic pipes and joints: Check whether there is oil leakage in the hydraulic pipes and joints, and ensure that the working pressure of the hydraulic system meets the equipment requirements.


8. Record and analyze equipment operation data
Record equipment operation data: Regularly record the operation data of the shot blasting machine, including working hours, maintenance, fault repair records, etc., to provide a basis for later analysis of equipment status.
Regularly evaluate equipment performance: By analyzing the equipment performance data, evaluate the operating efficiency of the equipment, identify potential problems and carry out early prevention and repair.


9. Regular lubrication and oil replacement
Lubrication system: Regularly check the lubrication system in the automatic shot blasting machine, including bearings, reducers, transmission parts, etc., to ensure that they are fully lubricated to reduce friction loss.
Replace lubricating oil: Regularly replace lubricating oil to ensure that its oil quality is good to avoid premature wear of equipment due to oil deterioration.


10. Safety inspection
Check the protective device: Regularly check the protective device of the shot blasting machine, including protective covers, protective nets, etc., to ensure the safety of the operator.
Check the emergency stop device: Ensure that the emergency stop device can work properly so that it can be quickly stopped in case of an accident to avoid accidents.


Summary
The daily maintenance and care of the automated shot blasting machine is the key to ensure the long-term operation of the equipment. Regularly check and clean the various components such as the shot blasting medium, shot blasting wheel, conveying system, filtration and dust removal system, and electronic control system, and replace worn parts and add lubricating oil in time to help reduce the occurrence of faults, improve the working efficiency of the equipment, and extend the service life of the equipment. At the same time, safety inspections are also very important and can effectively avoid accidents during operation. Through reasonable daily maintenance and care, the automated shot blasting machine can maintain its working condition and provide continuous support for production.
