A preventative maintenance checklist to prevent costly downtime.
Your wet wipe machine is the heart of your business. Like a car, it requires regular maintenance to run smoothly. Neglecting this leads to “preventable downtime,” which costs money every minute the machine is stopped. Here are essential tips from Zhenbao Trading’s technical team.
Daily Cleaning (The Golden Rule): Wet wipe machines deal with moisture and lotions. If left to dry, these liquids turn into sticky residues that clog nozzles and jam gears. Clean all liquid pathways and sensors at the end of every shift.
Lubrication: Moving parts create friction. Regularly grease the bearings, chains, and gears. However, be careful not to over-grease, as excess oil can contaminate the hygiene products.
Cutter Sharpening: Dull cutters cause ragged edges and paper jams. Check the sharpness of your cutting blades weekly and replace or sharpen them before they degrade the product quality.
Electrical Inspections: Vibrations can loosen electrical connections over time. Have a technician check the PLC cabinet and servo motor connections monthly to prevent short circuits.
A well-maintained machine from Zhenbao Trading can last over a decade, providing a stable foundation for your business.
