Regular Sweeping: During the operation of the vertical mill reducer, its casing will adsorb dust and material particles. Regular cleaning (e.g., once a week) should be carried out. Use clean compressed air or a soft brush to sweep the reducer casing to remove the dust and debris on the surface. For stubborn dirt, it can be gently wiped with a damp cloth, but be careful to avoid water entering the interior of the reducer.
Inspecting for External Damage:While cleaning, carefully check whether there are cracks, deformations, or other damages on the reducer casing. Pay particular attention to the base and connection parts of the reducer. Any damage may affect the installation accuracy and stability of the reducer.
Internal Cleaning (to be Operated by Professionals)
Oil Drainage and Cleaning:Depending on the working intensity of the reducer and the degree of contamination of the lubricating oil, conduct internal cleaning regularly (e.g., every 3 - 6 months). First, drain all the lubricating oil in the reducer. Collect the oil into a clean container through a special oil drain port. During the use of the lubricating oil, metal particles, debris generated by wear, and other impurities will mix in, which will exacerbate the wear of components.
Cleaning Internal Components:After emptying the lubricating oil, use a special cleaning agent to clean the interior of the reducer. The cleaning agent can be injected into the reducer through an oil pump and allowed to circulate inside, enabling the cleaning agent to fully contact all components. Then, discharge the cleaning agent with impurities. For some key components, such as planetary gears and bearings, they can be disassembled and cleaned separately. After cleaning, the components should be dried with clean compressed air or wiped dry with a clean cloth to ensure there is no residue of the cleaning agent.
