To determine whether Bitumen Melting Machine requires maintenance, several key indicators can be observed during daily operation.
First, consider de - barreling efficiency. If asphalt that used to be de - barreled within the specified time now takes significantly longer, or if excessive asphalt remains in the barrel and cannot be completely de - barreled, it's likely due to aging of the equipment's internal heating components or jamming of conveying components, requiring inspection and maintenance.
Secondly, listen to the operating sound of the equipment. During normal operation, the equipment sounds stable. Any unusual grinding, banging, or creaking sounds may indicate bearing wear or loose parts. Failure to conduct timely maintenance can exacerbate component damage and shorten the equipment's lifespan.
Thirdly, inspect the appearance of components and seals. Check for damage or heat leaks in the heating hoses, as well as aging or cracking of the seals. If asphalt leaks, the equipment casing is noticeably deformed, or electrical wiring is aging or exposed, the equipment must be shut down immediately for maintenance to avoid safety issues.
Furthermore, if the Bitumen Melting Machine frequently shuts down during operation, or if control buttons or instruments are unresponsive during operation, this may indicate a problem with internal components and requires prompt inspection and maintenance.
