In industries like plastics processing and film production, rollers are the core engine of efficient equipment operation. However, many companies often face frequent equipment failures and reduced production efficiency due to improper roller maintenance.
Do you have rollers on your equipment? How should you maintain them?
Suzhou JWELL Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., with 19 years of experience in the industry, draws on its extensive production experience and accumulated technology to reveal scientific maintenance methods for long-lasting and stable roller operation!
01.Daliy cleaning
Regularly removing dust, oil, debris, and other debris from the roller surface is fundamental to extending roller life. In actual production, roller surfaces are prone to absorbing various impurities, which can exacerbate wear during operation and reduce roller surface precision.
Check the prohibition and wearSuzhou JWELL Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. specializes in producing high-quality rollers. Its mirror-finished rollers are widely used in the optical sheet manufacturing industry, which demands extremely high surface finish.
To protect the roller surface, it is recommended to wipe it with a soft, dust-free cloth or a dedicated cleaning brush using a neutral detergent after daily production. For example, in an optical sheet production workshop, daily cleaning effectively prevents residual impurities, ensures the rollers maintain high mirror precision over time, and safeguards product quality.
02.Lubrication and maintenance
Regularly applying suitable lubricants to the roller's bearings and other rotating parts can significantly reduce friction, reduce energy consumption, and extend service life. It is recommended to use high-temperature grease and lubricating oil to form a protective film between the components, allowing the roller to run more smoothly.
03.Check the prohibition and wear
Regularly checking the tightness of roller mounting bolts, nuts, and other fasteners is crucial for ensuring safe equipment operation. Loose fasteners can cause severe vibration during roller operation, affecting product forming accuracy and potentially causing equipment failure.
Suzhou JWELL Precision Machinery Co.,Ltd. rigorously controls the quality of every installed component during production. However, in actual use, regular inspection is still necessary due to factors such as equipment vibration and thermal expansion and contraction. We recommend using a professional torque wrench to regularly tighten fasteners to the specified torque value.Also, regular inspection of the roller surface is essential. Any deep scratches, localized dents, or dimensional deviations exceeding the specified range require prompt attention. Minor wear can be repaired with professional polishing, while severe wear requires replacement of the roller body and a new roller.
04.Storage Roller
If the equipment is out of service for an extended period, the rollers should be properly protected:
First, use a clean cotton cloth and decontamination wax to remove material and oil from the roller surface to prevent scratches. After cleaning, keep the roller surface dry. Next, tightly wrap the roller surface with foam paper or PVC film, and then cover the outer layer with soft packaging material for reinforcement. This effectively isolates the roller surface from acidic or alkaline gases in the air, preventing chemical reactions that could degrade the roller finish and even render the roller useless. Furthermore, the roller end faces and shaft heads should be wiped clean, then coated with anti-rust oil. Finally, wrap tightly with stretch film to complete the rust-proofing treatment.
In addition, during transportation and storage, rollers should be protected from tilting, inversion, collision, and rain. They should be stored in a clean, dry warehouse free of acids and other corrosive substances.
05.Regular maintenance
Developing a regular maintenance plan and thoroughly inspecting, servicing, and maintaining your rollers is the key to long-term equipment performance. We recommend tailoring your maintenance plan based on frequency of use and operating conditions: quarterly in-depth maintenance for high-load equipment and semi-annual maintenance for low-load equipment.
Comprehensive maintenance not only covers routine tasks like cleaning, lubrication, and tightening, but also includes inspections of the roller's internal structure, such as checking the roller's dynamic balance, inspecting the shaft for deformation, and evaluating the condition of the drive system.
JWELL's professional after-sales team provides maintenance guidance and systematic maintenance to help businesses extend roller life and reduce overall operating costs.
