What are the precautions for using a disc wood chip machine?

With the continuous development of the wood processing industry, disc wood chip machines, as important cutting equipment, are increasingly valued for their safety and efficiency. In order to ensure the stable operation and extend the service life of the disc wood chip machine, a series of key issues need to be noted during use.

1. Safety inspection and preparation

1. Check the equipment status:
Before use, it is necessary to check whether the main engine and feeding and discharging system of the disc wood chip machine are running in the correct direction. Check whether the control handle of the hydraulic system is flexible, whether the oil cylinder rises and falls synchronously, whether the pressure of the manual oil pump and electric hydraulic oil pump is within the specified range, and whether the valves in the accumulator oil circuit are opened or closed as required. Confirm that the circuit and oil connections are normal, all lubrication points have been lubricated, and all sturdy bolts are not loose.
2. Clean up the work area:
Ensure that the work area is free of debris and obstacles to avoid affecting the normal operation of equipment or causing safety hazards. Clean the wood chips and dust on the disc type wood chip machine and workbench, and keep the equipment clean.
3. Personal protection:

Operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety goggles, earplugs, and gloves, to protect their eyes, hearing, and hands from accidental injuries.

2. Operating standards

1. Start and idle:
When turning on the power, a 380 volt three-phase power supply should be connected from the switch box or cabinet. After starting the device, let it idle for about 5 minutes and listen carefully to observe if there are any abnormal sounds or vibrations.
2. Feeding and cutting:

In the initial stage of trial operation, wood of moderate length and appropriate specifications should be selected for cutting, and special hardwood and large-diameter, excessively bent materials should be avoided as much as possible. When feeding, hold the raw materials with both hands, lift the tail of the raw materials, and press the support roller into the feed roller at the front end. When one end of the unloading roller grips the wood and begins unloading, you can release your hand. The receiving personnel should hold the wood with both hands and move it in the direction of discharge. During the cutting process, a stable hand posture should be maintained, and the wood should be slowly pushed under the cutting tool to ensure smooth and accurate cutting. Avoid excessive force to prevent inaccurate cutting or tool damage.

3. Observation and adjustment:

During the cutting process, the quality and cutting effect of the wood chips should be closely observed. If the quality of the wood chips does not meet the requirements or the cutting effect is not ideal, the cutting parameters should be adjusted or the cutting tools should be replaced in a timely manner. If foreign objects or defects are found in the wood, cutting should be stopped in a timely manner, the wood should be cleaned or replaced.
3. Maintenance and upkeep
1. Regular inspection:
Regularly check the condition of various components of the disc wood chip machine, such as the wear level of the blades and the temperature of the bearings. Any abnormalities should be promptly addressed or replaced. Regularly inspect and clean the wood chips and dust inside the wood chip machine to prevent blockages or affect equipment performance.
2. Blade maintenance:
The blade of the peeling knife is made of alloy steel and may wear out or change angle after long-term use. At this point, the fastening screw of the blade should be loosened, and the blade should be removed for grinding and adjustment. If the blade is excessively worn, it should be replaced with a new blade of the same specification in a timely manner.
3. Lubrication and rust prevention:
Regularly lubricate the bearings and other components of the wood chip machine to reduce wear and extend its service life. Pay attention to rust prevention treatment to ensure that the electric motor and other components of the disc wood chip machine are not affected by moisture or water, in order to prevent rusting of the parts.
Following the above precautions can ensure the safe and efficient operation of the disc wood chip machine and extend its service life.
