Proper maintenance and handling of automatic mortar jetting machines are essential for optimal performance, equipment longevity, and operator safety. Here are key guidelines for cleaning, moving, and maintaining these machines to ensure efficient and smooth operations on construction sites.
Electrical Box Cleaning: During routine cleaning of automatic mortar jetting machines, it’s crucial to handle the electrical boxes carefully. These components should only be gently scrubbed, never rinsed with water, to prevent moisture from damaging electrical circuits.
Power Cord Management: Always disconnect the power cord before moving automatic mortar jetting machines on the construction site, regardless of the distance. This reduces the risk of electrical hazards and equipment damage due to sudden movement.
Securing the Electric Box Door: When the machine is in use, make sure the electric box door is firmly locked. This helps prevent dust and water intrusion, which can damage the machine’s internal components and compromise safety.
Pump Core Maintenance: After cleaning the pump core each time, apply a small amount of silicone oil. This lubrication keeps the core from rusting and allows automatic mortar jetting machines to start smoothly on the next use. Regular application of silicone oil also extends the lifespan of the pump core by reducing friction.
Spindle Seal Adjustment: Proper adjustment of the spindle seal is essential for efficient machine operation. To adjust, separate the pump core from the feed support and tighten the three screws holding the spindle seal. Using an 8-inch wrench, tighten the spindle screw just enough to allow it to turn with minimal effort. This prevents leaks and ensures optimal pressure during mortar spraying.
Bearing Housing and Gearbox Lubrication: Lubricating the bearing housing and gearbox daily before or after each operation is essential. Check the oil level in the gearbox frequently to maintain smooth and efficient operation. Proper lubrication not only prevents wear but also reduces noise and vibration, enhancing user comfort.
Regular Inspection of Hoses and Nozzles: Inspect hoses and nozzles for any blockages or wear and tear before each operation. Clear any obstructions to maintain a consistent spray pattern and prevent unnecessary strain on the machine.
Cleaning the Mortar Hopper and Delivery Path: After every use, clean the mortar hopper and delivery hose with water to avoid material buildup, which can cause blockages and affect machine performance. Ensuring all remnants are cleared will prevent clogging and improve the machine's spraying consistency.
Protecting Against Freezing Conditions: If automatic mortar jetting machines are used in cold environments, ensure all water and materials are cleared from the system after use. Freezing temperatures can cause internal components to crack or seize, leading to costly repairs.
Following these guidelines will keep automatic mortar jetting machines in optimal condition, reducing downtime and ensuring safe, efficient operation on any construction site.
