How to maintain the slitting machine

The maintenance of the slitter is the key to ensure its long-term stable operation and prolong its service life. Here are some suggestions for slitter maintenance:

First, daily maintenance

1. Cleaning:

• After each use, the device should be carefully cleaned to remove residual coils, debris and other debris.

• When cleaning, pay special attention to the knife edge and around the knife holder to ensure that there is no clogging and unsmooth cutting.

2. Lubrication:

• Lubricate the bearings, gears and other parts of the machine regularly to reduce friction and wear.

• When filling lubricating oil, pay attention to the quantity and frequency to avoid too much or too little to cause adverse effects on the machine.

• The main parts of the machine should also be inspected and lubricated before use.

3. Check:

• Before and after each use, check whether the parts are loose, worn or damaged, and whether the electrical system is in good working order.

• Pay special attention to check whether the blade is sharp, and replace it in time if it is seriously worn.

Second, regular maintenance

1. Full Inspection:

• Perform a comprehensive cleaning and inspection of the machine every two weeks or depending on the production situation.

• Check whether the transmission parts, electrical components, control system, etc. are working properly.

2. Adjustment and Replacement:

• Regularly adjust the machine's tension control system, cutting accuracy and other parameters according to the usage.

• Replace wearing parts regularly, such as blades, pressure rollers, etc., to ensure the normal operation of the machine.

3. Electrical Maintenance:

• Regularly clean and inspect electrical components, such as switches, fuses, power supplies, etc., to eliminate hidden dangers in time.

• Check whether the electrical control system is working properly, and debug or repair if there is any abnormality.

Third, long-term out-of-service maintenance

1. Cleaning & Rust Prevention:

• If the slitter is stopped for a long time, all shiny surfaces should be wiped clean and coated with anti-rust oil.

• Cover the entire machine with a plastic sleeve to prevent dust and moisture ingress.

• If it is out of service for more than 3 months, it should be covered with moisture-proof paper with anti-rust oil.

2. Sealing:

• Ensure that there are no foreign objects and no residual coils inside the machine before sealing.

• When sealing, it should be marked and recorded, so that it can be quickly found and restored to working status when it is used in the future.

Fourth, personnel training and management

1. Professional Training:

• Operators should receive professional training, be familiar with the structure and performance of the slitting machine, and understand the functions and operation methods of each component.

• The training content includes but is not limited to safety operation procedures, equipment maintenance knowledge, troubleshooting methods, etc.

2. Dedicated operation:

• The operation of the control part should be the responsibility of a special person, and no one should operate it without permission.

• Operators should regularly participate in safety education and training to improve safety awareness.

3. Recording & Feedback:

• The operator should make the operation record and maintenance record of the equipment, so as to find and solve the problem in time.

• If the equipment is abnormal or malfunctional, it should be reported to the superior in time and seek help from professional maintenance personnel.

To sum up, the maintenance of the slitting machine involves many aspects, including daily maintenance, regular maintenance, long-term out-of-service maintenance, and personnel training and management. Only by doing these maintenance work can we ensure the long-term stable operation and prolong the service life of the slitting machine.
