Hydraulic alligator shears are essential in various industrial fields such as scrap metal processing and manufacturing.

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the life and effectiveness of key components. This article provides a detailed guide on maintaining and servicing the main components of hydraulic alligator shears.

 

1. Maintaining the cutting blade

Regular inspection and sharpening: Regularly check the blade for dullness or damage. Sharpen the blade as needed to ensure smooth cutting and relieve stress on the machine.

Replacement: If the blade is excessively worn or damaged, replace it in time to avoid affecting the efficiency and safety of the machine.

2. Press cylinder

The press cylinder is responsible for the driving force of the shear to cut the material.

Seal inspection: Frequently check the hydraulic seal for wear or leakage. If necessary, replace the seal to prevent fluid leakage and maintain pressure.

Rod condition: Check for wear, corrosion or misalignment on the cylinder rod. A damaged rod can lead to inefficient operation and safety hazards.

3. Press plate

The press plate holds the material in place during the cutting process.

Alignment check: Make sure the press plate is aligned with the cutting blade for optimal performance.

Surface inspection: Check regularly for any cracks or wear, and repair or replace the platen if it is damaged.

4. Motor

The motor powers the hydraulic pump and needs to be checked regularly to ensure it is operating efficiently.

Cooling system: To prevent overheating, keep dust and debris out of the motor's cooling system.

Electrical connections: Check all electrical connections for signs of wear or corrosion. Secure any loose connections and replace damaged wires or components.

5. Valves

The pressure and flow of the hydraulic oil are managed through hydraulic valves.

Operational testing: To ensure the valves are operating properly, test them regularly. Be alert for unusual sounds that may indicate potential problems.

Cleaning: Keep the valves clean and free of debris buildup that can cause the valves to stick or malfunction

6. Cutting cylinders

Like press cylinders, cutting cylinders are used for cutting, so similar care is required.

Leakage checks: Make sure the hydraulic oil level is correct and perform regular leak checks.

Pressure tests: Check the hydraulic pressure in the cutting cylinder regularly to ensure it meets the specifications required for efficient operation.

7. Pumps

The machine's hydraulic oil must move, so a hydraulic pump is needed.

Oil Level and Quality: Check the hydraulic oil level regularly and top up as needed. Replace the oil if it is contaminated.

Pump Inspection: Listen for noise changes and check for vibrations, which may indicate wear or misalignment.

8. Electric Box

The electric box contains the electrical components that control the machine.

Moisture and Dirt: Make sure the electric box is free of moisture and dirt, which can cause electrical failures.

Component Inspection: Frequently check all components inside the electric box for signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.

9. Oil Tank

The oil tank stores the hydraulic oil required for the machine to operate.

Cleanliness: Keep the oil tank clean and ensure that the oil is not contaminated by debris or water, which can damage the hydraulic system.

Gaskets and Seals: Check the seals and gaskets that attach to the oil tank for signs of degradation or perforation and replace them accordingly.

10. General Maintenance Tips

Routine Cleaning: Clean the entire machine regularly to prevent the accumulation of debris and dirt, which can affect the operation of the machine and cause premature wear.

Lubrication: Apply lubricant to moving parts as directed by the manufacturer to ensure seamless function.

 

Regular maintenance is essential to the life, efficiency and safety of hydraulic alligator shears. Regular inspection and maintenance of components such as cutting blades, cylinders, motors and valves prevents breakdowns and optimizes performance.

tHE FEATURES OF THE BRIQUETTING MACHINE

THE STRECTURES OF A METAL CHIPS/ POWDER BRIQUETTING MACHINE

1.Main machine

Briquetting machine is composed of a frame, a main hydraulic cylinder, a propulsion hydraulic cylinder, a bottom hydraulic cylinder, a matching mold frame, a pressure head, etc.

The frame is composed of upper and lower beams and columns. The upper and lower beams are all cast steel parts. The upper and lower beams are connected to the four columns through internal and external nuts to withstand the tension during the working process.

The main hydraulic cylinder eliminates cast steel parts, eliminates safety hazards, and ensures the service life and safety of the equipment. The matching mold frame, mold, pressure head, etc. are high-strength wear-resistant steel, which can be quickly replaced. The front end of the mold is equipped with a wear-resistant punch, which is convenient for disassembly and installation, extending the service life. The relevant parts have been specially hardened or forged at the necessary position.

2.Hydraulic station

Metal scrap briquetting press is composed of a motor, a hydraulic station, a pump protection device, a professional control valve group and a pipeline system connecting the cake press. It has a reasonable design, stable quality, and is equipped with a cooling system to prevent the equipment from working continuously due to overheating of the oil temperature.

3.E-box

Aluminum hydraulic briquette machine is composed of an electrical system and a PLC control system, equipped with an adjustable text display, and the action sequence and each action time are completely controlled by the PLC system. It can be adjusted by the operator at any time, which is convenient, fast and easy to understand.

The stable operation of the hydraulic system is essential for the entire production process. As the "blood" of the hydraulic system, the cleanliness of hydraulic oil directly affects the performance and life of the system. Hydraulic Oil Filter Machine as a powerful assistant for hydraulic oil cleaning, has become an important "cleaning guard" in industrial production with its performance and efficient filtration capacity.

​

The main function of the Hydraulic Oil Filter Machine is to remove impurities, moisture and harmful substances from the hydraulic oil by physical or chemical means to ensure the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil. Its working principle is to send the hydraulic oil to be filtered into the filtration system through the oil pump, and finally deliver the clean hydraulic oil back to the hydraulic system through the layers of filtration elements of multi-stage filtration elements. This filtration method can not only effectively remove impurities and contaminants from the hydraulic oil, but also extend the service life of the hydraulic system and improve the stability and reliability of the system.

 

Hydraulic Cleaning overcomes traditional hydraulic oil filtration methods. First of all, it has a high filtration efficiency, which can quickly remove impurities and contaminants from the hydraulic oil, ensuring the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil. Secondly, the filter has a long service life and low maintenance costs, which can reduce the operating costs of enterprises. In addition, the filter also has intelligent control and remote monitoring functions, which can monitor the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil and the operation status of the filter in real time, which is convenient for users to manage and maintain.

 

In industrial production, Hydraulic Oil Cleaning are widely used. Whether in the fields of automobile manufacturing, mechanical engineering or petrochemical engineering, hydraulic systems are used. The Hydraulic Oil Filter Machine can ensure the stable operation of the hydraulic system, improve production efficiency and product quality. In addition, in some special fields, such as aviation, aerospace, etc., the cleanliness of hydraulic oil is required, and the filter plays an irreplaceable role.

 

The Hydraulic Oil Filter Machine has become an important "cleaning guard" in industrial production with its filtration performance, intelligent control mode and wide range of application fields.
