Softgel Encapsulation Machine Maintenance

Routine Maintenance for Softgel Encapsulation Machine

Softgel encapsulation machine needs regular maintenance jus like all kinds of machines. Below is some common handling (included, not limited to this).

M1. Check the insulation resistance of all the components and control loop in the electrical system regularly. (It should not less than 5MΏ) and ensure the softgel encapsulation machine connection to the ground is reliable so as to ensure safety in using electricity.

M2. In every shift, check the quantity of liquid paraffin in the column assembly, feeding pump body, and the liquid paraffin box at the left side of the main softgel machine, refill the paraffin in time if finding the liquid paraffin is not sufficient.

M3. Replace the liquid paraffin in the column assembly and feeding pump body once a week, and clean the filter.

M4. Remove the gelatin ribbon stripper (loosen the two screws on the front board of the softgel stripper) and clean it once a week, then add an appropriate quantity of liquid paraffin oil and assemble it again.

M5. Add the appropriate quantity of liquid paraffin oil to the holes on the beam of the die roll housing assembly and the exposed gear and the gearing shaft on top of the die roll housing assembly during period of use.

M6. Keep the gelatin ribbon drums clean and oil regularly. Clean and wipe the drums in time if there are any smears on the drums. It is necessary to wash and clean the gelatin box and the gelatin conveying pipe in time when they stop using.

M7. Under normal conditions, replace the belt on the oil roller once half a year.

M8. In every shift, check the tension extent of the gearing belt, a conveyer belt of the main softgel encapsulating machine, and adjust them in time if they are found too loose.

M9. Clean the air inlet of the fan motor cover on the drier regularly to keep the drying air clean and unblocked.

M10. Under normal conditions, disassemble, check, wash, and clean all the mechanical parts on the softgel machine once a year. Disassemble and assemble of the gearing system in die roll housing assembly is specially carefulness and particularity.

M11. Don’t expose the encapsulator to the environment of moisture, salty air, or corrosive gas for a long time. If the encapsulation machine is not operated for a period of time, its surface should be coated with a layer of paraffin oil and then be covered with plastic film.
