The vibrating screen is an indispensable equipment component in aggregate processing plants, which undertakes multiple key functions such as preparation, material classification, and dehydration. In order to ensure the efficiency and durability of the vibrating screen, daily maintenance and upkeep work is particularly important. This article will delve into the maintenance points of vibrating screens in aggregate processing plants, helping operators better maintain equipment and extend its service life.

The importance of changing the oil of the exciter

As the core component of the vibrating screen, the operating status of the shaker directly affects the performance of the entire machine. Regularly replacing the oil in the exciter is a crucial part of maintenance work. It is generally recommended to change the oil every 800 hours of operation or according to the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure good lubrication of the internal gear set and bearings of the exciter, reduce friction and wear, and thereby reduce failure rates and maintenance costs.

During the oil change process, be sure to use the oil type specified by the manufacturer. Different equipment may have different requirements for lubricating oil, and using the wrong oil may lead to a decrease in equipment performance and even damage. In addition, when changing the oil, the correct operating procedure should be followed to ensure that the old oil is completely drained and the new oil is clean.

Maintenance of suspension springs

Suspension spring is another important component of vibrating screen, which can reduce the impact of vibration on equipment structure, maintain the stability and accuracy of screening. Therefore, regular inspection and maintenance of suspension springs are crucial.

In daily maintenance, special attention should be paid to the integrity and elasticity of the spring. Once the spring is found to have broken, deformed, or weakened elasticity, it should be replaced in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also very important to maintain cleanliness around the spring to avoid debris causing damage to the spring or affecting its normal operation.

In addition, when replacing suspension springs, it is necessary to pay attention to the principle of paired replacement. If only a single spring is replaced, it may affect the balance of the vibrating screen, thereby affecting the screening effect and equipment life.

Levelness inspection of floor steel

If the vibrating screen frequently experiences suspension spring failures or other abnormal vibrations during use, in addition to checking the spring itself, it should also consider checking the levelness of the factory floor steel. Long term effects of ground subsidence or vibration forces may lead to uneven flooring, which in turn affects the stability and performance of the vibrating screen. Therefore, regularly using tools such as a level to check the levelness of the floor and making necessary adjustments in a timely manner is an important measure to ensure the normal operation of the vibrating screen.

epilogue

As a key equipment, the maintenance and upkeep of the vibrating screen in the aggregate processing plant cannot be ignored. By regularly replacing the oil of the shaker, inspecting and maintaining the suspension spring, and paying attention to the levelness of the floor steel, measures can be taken to extend the service life of the vibrating screen, improve screening efficiency, and provide strong support for the stable operation of the aggregate processing plant. At the same time, strengthening the training and education of operators, improving their understanding of the importance of equipment maintenance and maintenance skills, is also an important part of ensuring the long-term stable operation of the vibrating screen.
