A complete guide to the use and maintenance of brick making machines: a practical guide to extend the life of equipment

In the construction industry and the production of environmentally friendly building materials, brick making machines are one of the core equipment. Reasonable use and scientific maintenance can not only improve production efficiency but also significantly extend the life of the machine and reduce maintenance costs. This article will analyze from five dimensions: operating specifications, daily maintenance, regular maintenance, environmental management, and fault prevention, to help you fully master the maintenance skills of brick making machines.

1. Standard operation: avoid human damage

1.1 Check before starting

Confirm that the power supply voltage is stable and the line is not damaged or leaking.

Check whether the hydraulic oil and lubricating oil are sufficient to avoid dry friction.

Clean the mold residue to prevent material jamming or finished brick size deviation.

1.2 Precautions during operation

Overload operation is strictly prohibited (such as forcibly pressing raw materials with too high hardness).

Observe the pressure gauge value, and stop the machine immediately for abnormal fluctuations.

Keep the operating table dry to prevent water vapor from causing circuit failures.

1.3 Shutdown specification

After turning off the main power, thoroughly clean the mold and feed port residue.

In winter, in low temperature environments, the hydraulic system needs to be drained to prevent freezing.

2. Daily maintenance: details determine life

2.1 Lubrication management

Add high-temperature resistant grease to friction parts such as bearings, chains, gears, etc. every day.

Hydraulic oil is replaced every 3 months, and impurities are filtered to prevent oil circuit blockage.

2.2 Cleaning and rust prevention

After operation, remove the dust from the machine body, wipe the exposed metal parts with a soft cloth and apply anti-rust oil.

Regularly remove dust from electrical components with compressed air to avoid short circuits.

2.3 Key component monitoring

Check whether the vibration table bolts are loose and whether the mold positioning pins are worn.

The belt tension needs to be adjusted weekly. Too loose is easy to slip, and too tight increases the motor load.

3. Regular in-depth maintenance: preventive maintenance plan

Cycle: Maintenance content

Monthly: clean the hydraulic filter and check the sealing of the cylinder

Quarterly: calibrate the pressure sensor and replace the worn mold liner

Every six months: fully check the electrical system and tighten all terminals

Yearly: disassemble and clean the hydraulic valve group and replace the aging seal ring

4. Environmental optimization: reduce damage from external factors

4.1 Site requirements

The equipment should be installed on a flat hardened ground to avoid tilting and uneven force.

Stay away from dust pollution sources and configure ventilation equipment to reduce the risk of motor overheating.

4.2 Temperature and humidity control

Keep the environment dry (humidity <60%) during long-term shutdown, and use a dehumidifier when necessary.

Add cooling fans in high-temperature seasons to prevent the hydraulic system oil temperature from exceeding 60℃.

5. Fault warning and emergency treatment

5.1 Common fault signs

Abnormal noise/vibration → Check bearing wear or loose bolts?

Uneven density of finished bricks → Check mold wear or insufficient hydraulic pressure

5.2 Emergency process

Immediately cut off power and stop the machine

Mark the fault phenomenon and take photos for record

Contact professional maintenance personnel and prohibit blind disassembly of precision parts

Summary: Six golden rules for extending life

Standard operation: Strictly follow the rated parameters of the equipment

Lubrication first: Establish a lubrication inspection table and strictly implement it

Cleaning as the basis: "5 minutes quick cleaning" after daily operation

Preventive maintenance: Implement a three-level maintenance system according to the cycle

Environmental control: Create a dry, low-dust, and ventilated operating environment

Record analysis: Establish equipment maintenance files and track component replacement cycles

Through systematic maintenance management, the service life of the brick making machine can be extended by 30%-50%, while reducing the failure rate by more than 30%. The essence of equipment management is detail management. Only by transforming daily maintenance into standardized actions can a win-win situation of efficient production and cost control be achieved.
