How to maintain vibratory motors for long life?Maintaining your vibratory motors - such as OLI Vibra, Vibtec models is essential to ensure reliable performance, safety, and extended service life. Follow these key maintenance practices: 1. Regular Visual Inspection Check for signs of vibration loosening, wear, or cracking. Ensure the motor mount bolts are tight and secure. Inspect power cables for heat damage or fraying. 2. Torque Check on Fixings Vibrations can loosen bolts over time - retorque to manufacturer specs at regular intervals. Use locking washers or threadlocker for added security. 3. Lubrication (If Required) Some vibratory motors (like older Vibtec models) have grease nipples. Grease every 1,000-2,000 operating hours using manufacturer-approved lubricant OLI Vibra motors are typically sealed and maintenance-free. 4. Weight Position & Balance Check Ensure eccentric weights are set symmetrically and securely. Do not modify weight positions unless trained this affects vibration amplitude and direction. 5. Electrical Maintenance Check motor terminals for tightness and cleanliness. Measure insulation resistance periodically to avoid moisture related faults. Use motor protection relays or soft starters to prevent overcurrent damage. 6. Keep the Motor Clean Remove accumulated dust, product build-up, or cooling vent blockages. Avoid using high pressure water near seals or connectors especially in ATEX rated units 7. Monitor Noise and Vibration Abnormal noise may indicate bearing failure or imbalance.

How to maintain vibrating screens to ensure durability?Maintaining vibrating screens properly helps to extend their lifespan, reduce downtime, and ensure reliable performance. Whether you’re screening food powders or aggregates, regular checks and servicing are essential for long-term durability. Maintenance Tips: 1. Carry Out Regular Inspections Check the screen body for cracks, loose bolts, or signs of wear Inspect mesh tension, motor mounts, and frame alignment Look for abnormal noise, excessive vibration, or product build-up 2. Keep the Mesh Clean and Tensioned Remove dust, product residue, or blockages regularly Re-tension or replace mesh if it becomes loose or worn Use anti-blinding devices if clogging is an issue (e.g. ball trays or ultrasonic systems) 3. Maintain the Motors Ensure motor fixings are secure Lubricate bearings as specified (some models are maintenance-free) Monitor for overheating or imbalance in unbalanced motor units (e.g. OLI Vibra, Vibtec) 4. Check Fasteners and Brackets Retighten all bolts and clamps monthly Vibration can loosen components over time regular torque checks are vital 5. Clean the Area Around the Screen Prevent build-up around inlets, discharge points, and the screen base Keep air vents, guards, and mesh access points clear 6. Plan Preventative Maintenance Schedule full inspections during production downtime Log mesh changes, lubrication, and any replacements Replace worn seals, gaskets, or liners as needed.
