Common faults and countermeasures during the use of sweepers

[BONOVO]

In industrial production and various cleaning operations, sweepers play an important role. Their role is to efficiently clean the material residues on the conveyor belt, the ground and other surfaces, to ensure the smoothness of the production process and the cleanliness of the environment. However, during long-term use, the sweeper may encounter various faults that affect its normal operation. Next, we combine long-tail keywords to deeply analyze the common faults and corresponding coping strategies during the use of the sweeper.

Problem of incomplete cleaning

Fault manifestation and cause analysis

When "conveyor belt sweeper troubleshooting", it is often found that the cleaning is not thorough. It is manifested as a large amount of material still remaining on the surface of the conveyor belt, and there are still stains on the ground after cleaning. There are many reasons for this fault. First, the scraper or brush of the sweeper may be severely worn. Taking "scraper sweeper rubber strip replacement" as an example, the rubber strip of the scraper sweeper will gradually become thinner and deformed after long-term friction with the conveyor belt or the ground, and lose good fit, resulting in the inability to effectively scrape the material. Second, the installation position of the sweeper is inaccurate. If it is installed too high, there will be a gap between the cleaning parts and the surface being cleaned, and the material will easily leak through; if it is installed too low, it may cause excessive wear of the cleaning parts and affect the cleaning effect. Third, the nature of the material and the working conditions may also be the cause. For example, if the material is too sticky, or the working environment temperature is too high or too low, it may affect the normal working performance of the sweeper.

Countermeasures

For the problem of scraper or brush wear, the scraper and brush of the sweeper need to be checked regularly. Once the wear exceeds the specified limit, it should be replaced in time. For rubber scrapers, high-quality and wear-resistant products can be selected, and at the same time, ensure that it fits tightly with the conveyor belt or the ground during installation and remains level. If the cause of the failure is improper installation position, the installation position of the sweeper should be readjusted. According to the equipment manual, use professional measuring tools to accurately adjust the height and angle of the sweeper to ensure that it is in the best working position. For incomplete cleaning caused by the nature of the material and working conditions, special cleaning components can be considered. For example, for sticky materials, a scraper with anti-stick properties can be selected; in extreme temperature environments, a cleaner material that can adapt to the corresponding temperature range can be selected.
Component damage failure

Failure manifestation and cause analysis

In the "roller cleaner failure analysis", component damage often occurs. For example, the bearing of the roller cleaner is easy to be damaged, which is manifested as the roller is not flexible and has abnormal noise. This is mainly due to long-term operation in harsh environments, and a large amount of dust, material particles and other impurities enter the bearing, aggravating wear. At the same time, lack of regular lubrication is also an important reason. If the appropriate lubricant is not added to the bearing on time, its internal friction will increase and its service life will be greatly shortened. In addition, the transmission components of the cleaner, such as chains and belts, may also break, loosen, etc. This is usually caused by long-term excessive tension, or interference and collision with other components during operation.

Response strategy

To solve the problem of bearing damage, it is necessary to strengthen the daily maintenance of the cleaner. In an environment prone to dust and material particles, install a protective cover with good sealing performance for the bearing to prevent impurities from entering. According to the requirements of the equipment maintenance manual, regularly add suitable lubricants to the bearings to ensure their lubrication effect. For transmission component failures, regularly check the tension of the chain and belt and adjust them to the appropriate state in time. At the same time, carefully check the running track of the transmission components to ensure that they do not interfere with the surrounding components. If the chain or belt is severely worn or broken, it should be replaced immediately with products of the same model and specification to avoid minor faults causing larger equipment accidents.

Abnormal vibration of the sweeper

Fault manifestation and cause analysis

In "Analysis of vibration problems of disc sweepers", abnormal vibration is one of the common faults. When the disc sweeper is working, if there is severe vibration, it will not only affect the cleaning effect, but also cause the parts of the equipment to loosen and be damaged. There are two main reasons for abnormal vibration. On the one hand, it may be that the weight of the sweeper is unreasonable. During the rotation of the disc sweeper, if the counterweight is unevenly distributed or the weight is inappropriate, a large centrifugal force will be generated, causing vibration. On the other hand, loose installation of the equipment is also an important factor. If the sweeper is not fixed tightly during installation, or the installation foundation is uneven and unstable, it is easy to cause shaking and vibration when the equipment is running.

Countermeasures

For the problem of unreasonable counterweight, the counterweight of the sweeper needs to be accurately calculated and adjusted. Use professional dynamic balancing test equipment to detect the imbalance of the disc sweeper, and then add or reduce the counterweight block at the appropriate position according to the test results, so that the equipment can achieve a good dynamic balance state during operation. For the problem of unstable installation, recheck the installation of the sweeper. Make sure the mounting bolts are tightened. If the installation foundation is uneven, the foundation needs to be trimmed or reinforced to provide a stable installation platform for the sweeper, thereby effectively eliminating abnormal vibration.
