Maintenance and care methods for drum tray seedling raising machines.

The maintenance and care methods for the drum tray seedling machine can be carried out in four stages: before operation, during operation, after operation, and long-term storage. The specific details are as follows:

I. Preparation Before Homework

Component inspection and adjustment

Check whether the key components such as the drum, sowing device, soil covering device and water spraying system are in good condition to ensure there is no loosening or damage.

Adjust parameters such as the drum speed, sowing amount, and soil cover thickness to meet the current seedling raising requirements (such as seed type and tray specifications).

Clear the debris from the conveyor belt, the surface of the rollers and the track of the tray to avoid jamming or scratching the equipment.

Lubrication and rust prevention

Apply lubricating oil or grease to transmission components such as bearings, chains and gears to reduce wear.

Check whether the metal parts (such as the roller bracket) are rusty. If necessary, remove the rust and apply anti-rust paint.

Ii. Maintenance during operation

Real-time monitoring and adjustment

Observe whether the drum operates smoothly. If abnormal vibration or noise occurs, stop the machine immediately for inspection.

Check the uniformity of sowing. If any missed sowing or double sowing is found, adjust the sowing device or clean the seed suction head (for air-suction seeders).

Make sure the thickness of the soil cover is consistent to avoid the soil being too thin, which may expose the seeds, or too thick, which may affect the germination.

Clean up in time

Regularly clean the residual substrate, seed shells and other debris in the drum to prevent blockage or corrosion of the equipment.

Check whether the water spray system is unobstructed. If the nozzles are clogged, clean them with a fine needle or replace them.

Iii. Post-work Maintenance

Comprehensive cleaning

Turn off the power, unplug the plug, and clean the soil and residues on the rollers, conveyor belts, tray tracks and other parts.

Rinse the surface of the equipment with clean water and avoid using corrosive cleaning agents.

Clean the seed suction head (for air-suction seeders) to prevent seed residue from causing blockage.

Component inspection and replacement

Check the wear conditions of vulnerable parts such as rollers, sowing wheels and soil cover plates, and replace them if necessary.

Check the tension of the chain and belt, adjust it to the appropriate range or replace the aged parts.

Check if the electrical circuits are damaged and ensure that the wiring is firm.

Lubrication and rust prevention

Reapply lubricating oil or grease to the transmission components to ensure smooth operation.

Apply anti-rust oil to the metal parts to prevent rusting.

Four. Long-term storage and maintenance

Cleaning and drying

Clear all debris inside and outside the equipment to ensure there are no residual substrates or seeds.

Place the equipment in a well-ventilated and dry area to avoid component corrosion caused by a damp environment.

Component protection

Cover the precision components such as rollers and sowing devices with dust covers to prevent dust from entering.

Loosen the belts and chains to prevent deformation caused by long-term tension.

If the equipment is equipped with a motor, it should be started and run for about 20 seconds regularly to prevent internal moisture.

Regular inspection

Check the equipment status every 1 to 2 months to ensure that no components are missing or damaged.

If stored for a long time, it is recommended to start the equipment and run it once every quarter to maintain the flexibility of the components.
