Essential maintenance after summer for boiling machines: Cleaning, lubrication and inspection
With the return of summer and the start of the autumn campaign, many companies in the footwear, leather goods, textile, and advertising industries resume their activity with their eyeleting machines to handle bulk orders, new collections, and tight deadlines.
However, after months of reduced use or inactivity during the holiday period, these machines may accumulate wear, lack lubrication, or dirt that, if not detected in time, can lead to costly breakdowns just when they are most needed.
5 Steps for Essential Maintenance of Your Eyeleting Machines: This Checklist Will Help You Take Care of Your Industrial Equipment
Before turning on your eyeleting machines and starting production, follow these key steps to ensure proper operation:
1. General Cleaning of the Equipment:
- Remove all dust, material residues, or remains from previous eyelets.
- Use a dry, clean cloth, and if necessary, a soft brush.
- Pay special attention to the work area (support plate, punch, and die), as dirt build-up can affect the accuracy of the eyelet.
2. Lubrication of Moving Parts:
- Apply specific lubricant to guides, rods, pistons, and moving shafts.
- Do not exceed the amount of lubricant to avoid stains on the materials.
3. Check Connections and Systems:
- In pneumatic machines, check that hoses are free of cracks, leaks, or twists.
- In automatic machines, verify that cables, sensors, and the digital system are in good condition. Switch on the machine and run a test without material before processing.
4. Inspection of Punches and Dies:
- Check for deformations, excessive wear, or breakages.
- If you notice chipped edges or lack of precision, consider replacing them with original JOPEVI spare parts.
- Ensure they are properly aligned to avoid irregular perforations.
5. Function Test:
- Run tests without material to check the smooth movement of the machine.
- Then, test with your usual material to verify the quality of the eyelet (it should be firm, without tears or burrs).
