Selection and use of lubricants for peanut machinery
Lubrication is one of the key links in the normal operation of mechanical equipment, and for peanut machinery, lubrication is particularly important. Peanut machinery plays an important role in agricultural production, and their efficient operation is directly related to the efficiency and quality of peanut processing. Therefore, ensuring the normal operation of the lubrication system of peanut machinery can not only prolong the service life of the equipment, but also improve the production efficiency and reduce the failure rate.
Importance of lubrication
In the working process of peanut machinery, there will be a lot of frictions between parts. If lubrication is not in place, these frictions will lead to increased wear of mechanical parts, which will lead to equipment failure and even equipment scrapping. Through reasonable lubrication, an oil film can be formed between mechanical parts to reduce friction and wear, thus protecting mechanical parts. In addition, lubricating oil also has the functions of cooling, rust prevention and dust prevention, which is very important for the normal operation of equipment.
Common lubrication parts
The lubrication of peanut machinery mainly focuses on some key parts, such as transmission system, bearings, chains and gears. These parts are prone to high temperature and wear due to frequent movement or heavy load, so it is necessary to check and add lubricant regularly.
1, Transmission system: Transmission system is an important part of power transmission, and its lubrication condition directly affects the operation efficiency of the whole machine.
2, Bearing: Bearing is one of the easily worn parts in peanut machinery. Proper lubrication can reduce the wear of bearing and prolong its service life.
3, Chains and gears: Chains and gears need to bear large tension and pressure during operation, and lubrication can prevent problems such as rust of chains and unsmooth meshing of gears.
The choice and use of lubricant
Choosing suitable lubricant is the basis to ensure the normal operation of peanut machinery. Generally speaking, suitable lubricating oil or grease should be selected according to the working environment, running speed and load of peanut machinery. For example, when working in a high temperature environment, it is necessary to choose a lubricant with good high temperature resistance; In humid environment, it is necessary to choose a lubricant with waterproof and antirust functions. In addition, the amount of lubricant used should also be moderate, too much may lead to the accumulation of oil pollution, and too little will make it difficult to achieve lubrication effect.
Regular maintenance and inspection
In order to ensure that peanut machinery is always in a good running state, regular maintenance and inspection are essential. Operators should regularly check all lubricating parts and replenish or replace lubricant according to the requirements of the equipment manual. At the same time, attention should also be paid to cleaning the dust and oil on the mechanical surface so as not to affect the lubrication effect.
In a word, the lubrication of peanut machinery is an important part of its daily maintenance. Through scientific and reasonable lubrication management, not only can the operating efficiency of mechanical equipment be improved, but also the maintenance cost can be effectively reduced, providing reliable guarantee for agricultural production. Therefore, in the daily use of peanut machinery, we must pay attention to lubrication to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
