Maintenance Guide for Compression Molding Machines: Ensuring Long-Term Stable Operation of Your Equipment

The crimping machine plays a crucial role in various hydraulic pipeline connections. Ensuring its proper operation and regular maintenance not only extends the service life of the equipment but also enhances work efficiency and guarantees high-quality results. Below, we’ll provide you with a detailed overview of the key maintenance points for crimping machines.

I. Daily Cleaning

Keeping the crimping machine clean is fundamental to its maintenance. After each use, you should remove dust, oil stains, and debris from the machine’s surface. In particular, pay close attention to the mold and die parts—any residual metal chips or dirt could compromise the accuracy of the next crimping operation.

If the mold has accumulated a large amount of dirt due to prolonged neglect of cleaning the pressing machine, resulting in... The fittings produced by crimping have sealing issues.

II. Regularly inspect components

Check the hydraulic system for leaks to see if there are any. Oil leakage situation. If a leak is detected, promptly replace the seals.

Pay attention to the degree of wear on the molds. If any mold shows severe wear, it should be replaced promptly to ensure the quality of the crimping process.

Check whether the connections in the electrical system are loose, ensuring proper power supply and control of the equipment.

Due to loose electrical connections in the crimping machine, the equipment suddenly shut down, which will affect production progress.

III. Lubrication and Maintenance

Regularly add an appropriate amount of lubricant to the moving parts of the crimping machine to reduce wear and extend its service life. However, be mindful that the amount of lubricant added should be moderate—too much could lead to oil contamination of the working environment.

IV. Hydraulic Oil Replacement

Hydraulic oil serves as the power transmission medium in crimping machines, and regularly replacing the hydraulic oil can ensure the system operates smoothly. It is generally recommended to inspect and replace the hydraulic oil at regular intervals (depending on the equipment’s usage frequency and working environment).

V. Storage Environment

When the crimping machine is not used for an extended period, it should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment to prevent moisture and rust.

In short, maintaining a crimping machine requires us to take a multi-faceted approach, paying close attention to details and conducting regular inspections and maintenance. Only in this way can we ensure that the crimping machine remains in optimal working condition and provides reliable support for our production operations.

The above are some shared experiences on the maintenance of compression machines. We hope they will be helpful to everyone.
