On the packaging production line, packaging machine vacuum pipeline blockage is a common but difficult problem, which may cause equipment downtime, reduced efficiency and even product loss. To help companies quickly resume production, we provide a set of efficient and safe unblocking solutions and share daily packaging machine maintenance skills to help factories operate stably.
Causes and hazards of vacuum pipeline blockage
The packaging machine vacuum pipeline is responsible for adsorbing and fixing packaging materials. If dust, debris or foreign matter accumulates inside the pipeline, it is easy to cause blockage. A vacuum system that has not been cleaned for a long time may also increase the risk of failure due to oil condensation or aging of seals. Blockage will lead to insufficient vacuum, affect packaging accuracy, and even damage the core components of the equipment.
Three steps to quickly clear the vacuum pipeline
Check and locate the blockage point in sections
After turning off the power of the equipment, disassemble the packaging machine vacuum pipeline in sections, blow it one by one with compressed air or hose tools, observe the changes in airflow resistance, and accurately lock the blockage position.
Targeted cleaning of foreign matter
Use a special clearing stick or high-pressure air gun to remove hard residues from the blocked section; if it is oily, inject food-grade cleaning agent to soften it and then rinse it. Avoid damaging the inner wall of the pipeline during operation.
Restart test and parameter calibration
After clearing, reassemble the pipeline, check whether the vacuum pump pressure value returns to normal after starting up, and adjust the adsorption time and vacuum parameters according to the equipment manual to ensure stable operation of the system.
Maintenance tips to prevent vacuum system failures
Regular cleaning and maintenance: It is recommended to clean the packaging machine vacuum pipeline interface and filter every week to prevent dust accumulation.
Upgraded filtering device: Install a high-precision filter or cyclone separator to reduce the probability of foreign matter entering the pipeline.
Employee operation training: Standardize the operation process to avoid accidentally throwing large particles or packaging material fragments into the vacuum system.
