Lubrication and Maintenance:
Bearings:
All bearing points on this machine have a grease fitting. It is
recommended to use a #2 Lithium grease or equivalent. The bearing
locations should be greased every 40 hours of operation.
NOTE: Some hard guarding may have to be removed to access all of
the grease fittings.
Gears:
A coating of open gear grease should be kept on the gears at all times.
This can be monitored when removing the guarding to grease the
bearings and apply when necessary.
All material run through this machine should be free of all foreign matter, such as
dirt and grime. This is important as it will minimize any unnecessary wear on the
roller dies. A preventative maintenance schedule should be set immediately. This
schedule should include the periodic lubrication of the machine and the periodic
cleaning of the entire roller die set to remove any foreign matter. In general, a
scheduled wiping off or cleaning of the entire machine.
