Daily Maintenance and Care Guide for Mixing Machines

Mixing machines are important equipment in the rubber and plastic industries. If not properly maintained, they may fail when needed most. The following practical maintenance methods can be completed by operators in just 10 minutes daily, yet they can extend the mixing machine's lifespan by several years.

Before starting the machine each day, perform a “check-up”: listen for any unusual noises from the motor, check the oil level, and ensure the belts are properly tensioned. During mixing, monitor the temperature gauge closely to prevent the machine from overheating. After each use, thoroughly clean the machine, especially the rotor and mixing chamber, as hardened residue can form “machine deposits.”

Apply specialized lubricant to bearings and gears weekly, just as you would oil a bicycle chain. Inspect bolts monthly for loosening; tighten any that are loose immediately, rather than waiting until parts start to malfunction. Hydraulic systems require regular oil changes; dirty oil is as harmful to the machine as contaminated water is to humans.

Remember, the mixer fears two things most: overloading and operating while malfunctioning. If abnormal vibrations or noises are detected, shut down the machine immediately. Neglecting minor issues can lead to major repairs, which are costly. Maintenance records must be kept detailed, noting which parts were replaced on which date, so you have a clear understanding during the next maintenance.

By making these practices a habit, your mixer will remain in “peak condition,” saving on repair costs and improving production efficiency—a win-win situation no matter how you calculate it. As a professional manufacturer and supplier, we provide high-quality products.
