A well-maintained chain-type compost turner, like a regularly serviced sports car, can maintain peak performance for over a decade in harsh composting environments. Want to know how to extend your equipment’s “life expectancy”?
Daily Care: 5-Minute Check Saves Major Repairs
- Chain tension test:Press the middle of the chainboard like checking a bicycle chain – adjust if deflection exceeds 20mm
- Tooth health check:Replace teeth worn beyond 1/3 length, just like replacing damaged human teeth
- Travel system diagnosis:Maintain tire pressure around 0.7MPa, clear mud from track “soles”
- Nervous system scan:Confirm all control panel indicators function normally with emergency stops ready
Weekly Nourishment: Lubrication as “Health Supplements”
- Joint lubrication:Inject ZL-3 grease into sprocket bearings with eyedropper precision (1/2 bearing cavity volume)
- Full-body cleaning:Power wash like giving the equipment a “shower”, especially clearing “skin dirt” between chain plates
- Blood test:Keep hydraulic oil at 1/2-2/3 level, immediately “change blood” if emulsified/discolored
Monthly Physical: Comprehensive Inspection
- Heart check:Motor bearing temperatures above 70℃ signal “fever” requiring diagnosis
- Bone check:Inspect frame welds for fatigue cracks, “tighten bones” with torque wrench (200-300N・m)
- Reflex test:Simulate jamming to trigger safety devices, ensuring “conditioned reflex” protection
Quarterly Rejuvenation: Deep Maintenance
- Joint replacement:Chains stretched beyond 2% require complete replacement like lax ligaments
- Sensory calibration:Temperature sensor errors exceeding ±2℃? Time for equipment “glasses”
- Skin care:Rust removal and painting with “zinc-rich epoxy primer + polyurethane topcoat” skincare package
For long-term storage, remember three steps: apply antirust oil after thorough cleaning (“face mask”), relax chain tension (“stress relief”), place desiccant for electrical components (“moisture proof”). Follow this maintenance philosophy, and your turner will reward you with extended service life and lower repair costs.
In the world of fertilizer equipment, a well-maintained chain-type compost turner is the equivalent of a precision-tuned sports car. As a core compost fertilizer machine, it can maintain peak performance for over a decade in harsh composting environments. This machine represents one of the essential equipments required for biofertilizer production, working synergistically with other fertilizer machines like granulators and dryers to transform organic waste into valuable biofertilizer. Proper maintenance is key to extending your equipment’s lifespan and ensuring optimal production efficiency.
