If you have a semi-automatic block machine, you need to know how to properly maintain it. Without correct maintenance, your machine will not last as long as it should and will not provide you with the blocks that you need.
Check The Screws
As your block machine works, the screws holding all of the parts together will start to loosen. This is why you need to take the time to check the screws and tighten them when needed. When you are checking the screws(los tornillos), you should pay close attention to the screws holding the upper and lower molds.
When the screws loosen around the molds, they will lead to a misalignment. This misalignment causes the upper mold head to not enter the under mold. In these situations, you will need to adjust the screws in the mold and then tighten them.
Check Mould Positions
The position of the molds will also need to be checked as part of your maintenance. When the molds are not in the correct position, your machine will not be able to automatically run and produce blocks( hacer bloques ). If you have this problem, your machine is not in the origin state.
During maintenance, you need to ensure that the upper mold head is in the upper limit position. The feeding box will also need to be in the check position. If the molds and feed box have moved, you need to position them correctly before you use the machine again.
Lubricate Moving Parts
There are many moving parts in your machine and you need to ensure that they are correctly lubricated. Regular lubrication should be completed based on the use of the machine. The more often the machine is used, the more regularly you will need to lubricate the parts.
When lubricating the parts, you will need to ensure that the machine( la máquina ) has been turned off and is not connected to electricity. You should also work through the parts of the machine step by step. This will ensure that you do not miss any of the parts.
Regular Maintenance Schedule
To keep your machine running at its best, you need to have a maintenance schedule. Many manufacturers will have guidelines regarding the maintenance schedule you should keep. This will generally be outlined in the manual that you get with the machine.
When planning your maintenance schedule, you will need to divide the maintenance tasks by frequency. There are some tasks that need to be completed more often than others and you need to plan for this. There are also some tasks that should only be completed by a trained professional and you will need to schedule these appointments well in advance.
If you have a semi-automatic block machine(maquina bloquera semiautomatica), you need to maintain it correctly to ensure optimal performance. There are many maintenance tasks that you can complete yourself, but there are others which should be left to a trained professional. The schedule for maintenance will vary depending on your machine usage and the guidelines set out by the manufacturer.
