Block Machine in Israel

Daily maintenance and upkeep of brick block forming machines is crucial to ensuring stable operation, extending service life, and reducing failure rates. This process should focus on the five core areas of "cleaning, inspection, lubrication, tightening, and adjustment," and a tailored plan should be developed based on the equipment's structural characteristics (such as the hydraulic system, vibration system, and electrical system). The following detailed maintenance methods are categorized into daily maintenance, scheduled maintenance (weekly/monthly), and specialized system maintenance:

1. Daily Maintenance: Required Before Startup, During Operation, and After Shutdown

Daily maintenance is fundamental and should be performed in phases before startup, during operation, and after shutdown, focusing on identifying immediate risks and basic health conditions.

1. Pre-Startup Inspection (Core: Eliminating Startup Hazards)

Appearance and Cleaning: Remove concrete debris, dust, and debris from equipment surfaces (frame, mold cavity, ram, and distributor), paying particular attention to the contact surface between the mold cavity wall and the ram. Residual hard debris can cause product misalignment and mold wear. Key Component Condition:
Mold: Check the mold cavity for cracks or deformation, check for loose bolts (use a wrench to verify the torque of the bolts connecting the mold to the machine frame), and check whether the mold gap is uniform (deviation must be ≤0.5mm, otherwise it will affect the product size).
Pallet: Check the pallet for damage or deformation, and check whether the pallet is aligned on the conveyor track to prevent jamming and conveyor system failure.
Safety Devices: Verify that the emergency stop button, guardrails, and travel switches (such as the ram lift limiter and the fabric trolley travel limiter) are sensitive and effective, and that safety signs are clear.
Fluid and Air Pressure:
Hydraulic System: Check the hydraulic oil tank level (must be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks). Observe whether the oil is turbid or emulsified (normally it should be transparent or light yellow; if it is emulsified or blackened, replace it immediately). Inspect the hydraulic lines and joints for leaks (wipe the joints with a paper towel; no oil stains are normal). Pneumatic System (if any): Check the air compressor tank pressure (usually 0.6-0.8 MPa) and the drain valve for unobstructed operation. (Drain any accumulated water in the tank before starting the machine daily to prevent moisture from entering the pneumatic components and causing corrosion.)
2. In-Operation Monitoring (Core: Real-Time Abnormal Prevention)
Parameter Observation: Monitor key parameters on the control system display:
Hydraulic System Pressure: Molding pressure should be within the set range (e.g., 15-25 MPa, adjusted for product type). If the pressure suddenly rises or falls, stop the machine and check for pipe blockage or hydraulic valve failure.
Vibration System: Listen to the operating sound of the vibration motor/hydraulic vibrator (normally a steady "hum" with no unusual noise or hum). Feel the temperature of the vibrating housing (≤70°C; if above, check the bearings and heat dissipation for proper function). Movement coordination: Observe whether the material is distributed evenly by the distributor (no leakage or accumulation), whether the pressure head rises and falls smoothly (no jamming or deviation), and whether the pallet is transported smoothly (no slipping or misalignment). If any abnormality is found, press the emergency stop button immediately and restart after checking.
