Ore color sorters are currently widely used in the ore-processing industry; however, some processors lack the knowledge of proper maintenance, which shortens the service life of these machines. In light of this, we would like to share several daily maintenance practices for ore color sorters that are of particular concern to users.
Ore color sorters are currently widely used in the ore-processing industry; however, some processors lack the knowledge of proper maintenance, which shortens the service life of these machines. In light of this, we would like to offer several practical daily maintenance tips for ore color sorters, addressing the concerns of many users.
1. Pre-use maintenance procedures: Inspect the color sorter, air compressor, air receiver tank, filters, and other components for integrity and looseness; clean dust from all parts and drain any accumulated water or contaminants.
2. Dust removal from the dust-cleaning device: Use a compressed-air blow gun once a week to remove dust from the leather (or fur) brush on the dust-cleaning device; inspect the leather (or fur) brush monthly to ensure it is running smoothly, and tighten any loose components as necessary. After prolonged use, if the soft leather (or fur) of the brush becomes tilted to one side, simply remove the brush and reverse its top-to-bottom orientation to continue operation.
3. Dust removal in the sorting chamber: If there is dust on the glass inside or outside the sorting chamber (typically on the front glass), wipe it gently with a clean, soft cloth dampened with alcohol, and at the same time verify that the dust-removal device is operating properly. Proceed with color sorting only after the glass surface has completely dried and is thoroughly clean.
4. Slide surface inspection: Check the surface for any stains; it is best to wipe it down with alcohol once a month.
5. Filter Drainage: All pneumatic air-supply components of the machine must be equipped with filters that are drained frequently (at least twice per shift) to prevent contaminants from entering the machine’s core components and causing damage, thereby avoiding unnecessary losses.
6. In-Operation Inspection: During operation, inspect and patrol the signal indicators (including operating indicators and alarm indicators) as well as the actuation status of the spray valves.
7. Maintenance procedures after shutdown: Use an air gun to clean the vibrator (especially any material that has condensed in the vibrator hopper), the interior of the machine body, the receiving hopper, and the dust-removal brush.
Caution: When using an air gun to clean the material hopper, never point the air gun directly at the nozzle opening. Failure to comply may result in damage to the spray valve!
Monthly: Inspect the filter element; check the cleanliness of the dust-removal brush.
