Regular cleaningDuring the operation of the vertical mill reducer, its casing will adsorb dust and material particles. Clean compressed air or a soft bristled brush should be used regularly (such as once a week) to clean the gearbox housing and remove surface dust and debris. For dirt that adheres firmly, a damp cloth can be used to gently wipe it, but care should be taken to avoid water entering the interior of the gearbox.
Check for appearance damageDuring cleaning, carefully inspect the gearbox housing for cracks, deformations, or other damages. Especially the base and connection parts of the gearbox, if damaged, may affect the installation accuracy and stability of the gearbox.
Internal cleaning (requires professional personnel to operate)
Oil discharge cleaningAccording to the working intensity of the reducer and the degree of contamination of the lubricating oil, regular internal cleaning should be carried out (such as every 3-6 months). Firstly, drain all the lubricating oil from the gearbox and collect it into a clean container through a dedicated drain port. Lubricating oil may mix with metal particles, debris generated by wear, and other impurities during use, which can exacerbate component wear.
Clean internal componentsAfter draining the lubricating oil, use a specialized cleaning agent to clean the inside of the gearbox. Cleaning agent can be injected into the reducer through an oil pump to circulate internally, allowing the cleaning agent to fully contact various components, and then the cleaning agent with impurities can be discharged. For some key components, such as planetary gears, bearings, etc., they can be disassembled for separate cleaning. The cleaned components should be dried with clean compressed air or wiped dry with a clean cloth to ensure that there is no residual cleaning agent.
