How to Perform Preventive Maintenance on Chain Compost Turning Machine?

  • 2026-02-24

Chain compost turning machines are core equipment in the organic fertilizer fermentation process. They operate in high-humidity, high-dust, and highly corrosive environments. Proper preventive maintenance can significantly reduce downtime, extend service life, and ensure continuous operation of the organic fertilizer fermentation production line. The key to preventive maintenance lies in regular inspection, timely lubrication, prompt cleaning, and standardized operation.

First, daily cleaning is essential. After each operation, promptly remove any residual material and clumps from the turning chain, sprockets, and teeth to prevent uneven stress, chain misalignment, and motor overload caused by dried material. Simultaneously, clean debris and accumulated material from the travel track to ensure smooth equipment movement and prevent jamming and accelerated wear.

Second, regularly inspect key components. Focus on checking the tension of the turning chain, sprocket wear, and the tightness of the teeth. Adjust chain tension promptly and replace severely worn sprockets and teeth to prevent chain slippage and breakage. Simultaneously inspect the wheels, drive belts, motor wiring, and seals. Address any loosening, aging, or leakage immediately to prevent minor issues from escalating into major problems.

Thirdly, strengthen structural and corrosion prevention maintenance. The equipment operates in a humid and corrosive environment; therefore, regularly inspect the welding and deformation of the frame, beams, and turning arms, and promptly repair or correct any welds. Perform corrosion prevention and rust removal, and apply anti-rust paint to slow down corrosion and improve structural stability.

Finally, strictly adhere to operating procedures, avoiding overloading and excessive turning depth to prevent damage to components from forced operations. Through systematic preventative maintenance, the frequency of failures can be significantly reduced, equipment lifespan extended, and the fermentation process ensured to be stable and efficient, providing a reliable guarantee for continuous production of the entire organic fertilizer production line.
