Celebrating the Final Days of Eid al-Fitr & Essential Die Casting Machine Maintenance Tips

As we celebrate the joyful final days of Eid al-Fitr, we wish you and your loved ones happiness, prosperity, and success!

During the festive period, many businesses take a well-deserved break. To ensure your die-casting machines remain in top condition and resume smoothly after the holidays, we have prepared a simple yet effective maintenance guide for you.

Machine & Equipment Maintenance Before the Holiday

--Die Casting Machine

✅ Clean the Machine – Remove residual alloy, grease, and debris to ensure smooth operation.
✅ Lubrication Maintenance – Apply lubricant to critical components to prevent wear and tear.
✅ Check Power & Air Systems – Ensure there are no leaks, and turn off both power and air supply.
✅ Rust Prevention – Apply anti-rust spray to components prone to corrosion.

--Ladle Machine (Molten Metal Transfer)

✅ Before shutdown, return the ladle machine to its home position.

✅ Then, shut down the machine and clean and remove the residue from the ladle and probe area.

--Servo Robot (Pick & Place System)

✅ Lubricate the guide rails and robot arm joints to ensure smooth movement after the holiday.

--Spraying Machine (Release Agent Sprayer)

✅ Before shutdown, completely spray out the remaining release agent in the pipeline.

✅ Connect the system to a water source and manually spray back and forth until only clean water is coming out. Clean the nozzles and spray heads thoroughly. This step is crucial to prevent clogging caused by solidified release agents.

--Electrical Cabinet

✅ Turn off the main power supply of the control cabinet.

✅ Close the cabinet door to prevent dust accumulation.

✅ Ensure the cabinet remains dry and implement waterproof and moisture-proof measures.

--Furnace

✅ Shut down all electrical circuits before turning off the system.

✅ Close the outdoor LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) valve.

✅ Remove the remaining molten aluminum from the furnace.

✅ Clean the exterior of the furnace to maintain a tidy work environment.

(Final Checklist Before Holiday Shutdown)

✅ All equipment is properly cleaned and lubricated.
✅ Power, air, and fuel supplies are safely turned off.
✅ Anti-rust and moisture protection measures are in place.
✅ Key components such as nozzles, pipelines, and probes are thoroughly cleaned.

During the Holiday

✅ Keep the Environment Dry – Prevent moisture buildup to avoid equipment corrosion and electrical issues.
✅ Conduct Regular Inspections – Assign personnel to periodically check the machines and ensure overall safety.
✅ Avoid Prolonged Power Outages – If necessary, supply minimal power to prevent system data loss and maintain essential functions.

After the Holiday

✅ Inspect the Machine – Ensure that all circuits, lubrication, and air systems are in good condition.
✅ Preheat the Machine – Avoid damage caused by a cold start by gradually warming up the system.
✅ Test Run – Perform an idle test run to ensure all functions are operating correctly before resuming full production.
✅ Check for Any Abnormal Noises or Vibrations – Unusual sounds may indicate loose or worn-out components that need attention before full operation.

These are our recommended maintenance guidelines for die-casting machines and related equipment during the holiday period. We hope this guide helps you maintain your machines effectively during the holiday break.
