Daily Maintenance Tips for Edible Oil Filling Machines

In the filling machinery industry, especially for edible oil filling machines, the application of automation technology, intelligent technology, and information technology has become very common. Various types of automatic filling machines, semi-automatic filling machines, and fully automatic filling machines can be seen busy in various corners of the industry. They create one miracle after another for our lives and economic development, promoting China’s economic development and progress. But have we done enough for the daily maintenance and upkeep of these machines?

Firstly, since the edible oil filling machine is mainly used for the packaging of various oil products, maintenance mainly involves keeping the machine and the working environment clean and hygienic to avoid direct or indirect contamination of the product. Before and after operation, the machine must be cleaned inside and outside, and parts that have been in contact with food must be strictly disinfected.

Secondly, during the maintenance of the edible oil filling machine, special attention should be paid to the fact that when conducting maintenance checks, the circuit breaker should be cut off or the power plug should be unplugged to prevent electric shock, burns, and injuries during the check. Also, the compressed air pressure of the edible oil filling machine should be reduced to zero, and it must be confirmed that the pressure has dropped to zero before disassembling the components on the compressed air side. This ensures the normal operation of the edible oil filling machine, ensures that the enterprise’s production is not affected, and also effectively extends the service life of the filling machine.

Thirdly, it is necessary to check once a month whether the parts of the edible oil filling machine rotate flexibly and whether they are worn. Any defects found should be repaired in a timely manner, and forced use is not allowed. If the machine is not used for a long time, it must be wiped and cleaned thoroughly, and the smooth parts of the machine should be coated with rust-proof oil, covered with cloth, and prepared for the next use.

Edible oil filling machines are like people. If they work for a long time without replenishing energy or without proper rest, they will also have faults. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly maintain and upkeep filling machines to ensure their high work efficiency and long service life.
