Routine maintenance of automatic liquid capsule filling machine
1. Cleaning and Sanitization:
Proper cleaning and disinfection to prevent cross-contamination and ensure product quality.
- Start by disconnecting the machine from the power source and removing any remaining capsules or liquid.
- Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust, debris, and residue from the machine's exterior and interior components.
- Prepare a cleaning solution by diluting a suitable detergent in warm water. Wipe down all surfaces, including the hopper, filling nozzles, and conveyor belts, using a clean cloth or sponge.
- Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water to remove any detergent residue.
- Allow the machine to dry completely before reassembling and reconnecting it.
2.Increased Lubrication
Proper lubrication ensures smooth operation and reduces friction between moving parts.
- Refer to the manufacturer's instructions to identify the specific lubrication points on the machine.
- Use a high-quality food-grade lubricant recommended by the manufacturer.
- Apply the lubricant sparingly to the designated points, ensuring that it reaches all necessary areas.
- Wipe off any excess lubricant to prevent contamination of the capsules or liquid.
3. Inspection and Replacement of Wear Parts:
Inspect worn parts regularly to identify any signs of damage or wear.
- Filling nozzles: Check for any clogs, cracks, or signs of wear. Replace damaged nozzles immediately.
- Conveyor belts: Inspect for any tears, fraying, or misalignment. Replace worn-out belts to maintain smooth capsule transportation.
- Seals and gaskets: Examine for leaks, cracks, or deterioration. Replace damaged seals and gaskets to prevent liquid leakage and ensure proper sealing.
4. Calibration and Adjustment:
Regularly calibrate and adjust machine settings to maintain accurate fill levels and capsule weights.
- Use a calibrated weighing scale to verify the accuracy of the machine's filling volumes.
- Adjust the machine's settings as per the desired specifications, ensuring precise filling volumes and weights.
- Consult the machine's manual or contact the manufacturer for detailed instructions on calibration and adjustment procedures.
5. Operator Training and Systematic Documentation:
Provide staff with appropriate training to ensure safe and efficient operations. Additionally, updated maintenance of detailed documentation is important for traceability and compliance.
- Provide comprehensive training to operators on machine operation, maintenance procedures, and safety protocols.
- Maintain a logbook to record all maintenance activities, including cleaning, lubrication, inspections, and replacements.
- Document any issues or abnormalities encountered during operation and the corresponding actions taken to address them.
