I. Daily Maintenance

1. Cleaning:

   • Clean the machine surface daily after operation to remove dust, oil stains, and material residues.

   • Focus on cleaning areas in direct contact with materials, such as hoppers, formers, horizontal and vertical sealing devices, and cutting blades.

   • Use a clean, soft cloth for cleaning and avoid scratching the machine surface with hard objects.

2. Lubrication:

   • Regularly lubricate moving parts, such as chains, bearings, and gears.

   • Use the lubricants or greases recommended in the machine manual and pay attention to the amount of lubricant added.

   • Increase lubrication frequency for high-speed rotating parts.

3. Inspection:

   • Before starting the machine daily, check for loose or damaged parts, such as screws, belts, and air pipes.

   • Inspect electrical circuits for exposed or damaged wires.

   • Check the air system for leaks and ensure proper air pressure.

4. Record-Keeping:

   • Maintain a maintenance log to record daily cleaning, lubrication, inspections, and any issues found and resolved.

   • Regularly analyze the log to identify potential problems and prevent equipment failures.

II. Periodic Maintenance

1. Weekly Maintenance:

   • Perform a thorough cleaning of the machine, both inside and outside.

   • Inspect the wear and tear of moving parts and replace them if necessary.

   • Check the tightness of electrical connections and ensure terminal blocks are secure.

   • Inspect air system filters and clean or replace them as needed.

2. Monthly Maintenance:

   • Conduct a deep cleaning of the machine, disassembling and cleaning certain parts, such as hoppers and formers.

   • Check the clearance of transmission parts and adjust if necessary.

   • Inspect the performance of electrical components and replace them if needed.

   • Perform a comprehensive lubrication of the machine.

3. Annual Maintenance:

   • Conduct a complete overhaul of the machine, replacing severely worn parts.

   • Calibrate the machine's precision to ensure optimal performance.

   • Perform a full performance test to ensure the machine is in its best working condition.

III. Precautions

1. Operators should receive professional training and be familiar with the machine's structure, performance, operating procedures, and maintenance knowledge.

2. Closely monitor the machine's operating status during operation and stop the machine for inspection if any abnormalities are detected.

3. Avoid overloading the machine to prevent damage.

4. Regularly maintain and care for the machine to avoid operating it with existing issues.

5. Use original parts or reliable substitutes and avoid using inferior components.

IV. Common Faults and Troubleshooting

1. Poor Bag Sealing:

   • Check the temperature and pressure of the horizontal and vertical sealing devices.

   • Inspect the sealing molds for wear and replace them if necessary.

   • Ensure the packaging material meets requirements.

2. Bags Not Cutting Properly:

   • Check if the cutting blade is sharp and replace it if necessary.

   • Inspect the cutting blade's pressure.

   • Ensure the packaging material meets requirements.

3. Unstable Machine Operation:

   • Check if the power supply voltage is stable.

   • Inspect the air system for leaks and ensure proper air pressure.

   • Check if all moving parts are well lubricated.
