How to Maintain Sock Production Line Equipments

2024-08-01 12:51:01

Maintaining industrial machinery is essential to ensure optimal performance, longevity, and safety for your manufacturing operations. As a manufacturer specializing in sock knitting machines, we understand the importance of regular maintenance to prevent downtime and maximize productivity. In this article, we will share basic maintenance knowledge for various machines commonly used in the sock industry, including sock knitting machines, sock toe closing machines, sock dotting machines, and air compressors.

How to maintain sock knitting machine:

1. Clean the dust and waste yarn on the sock knitting machine, yarn creel and air valve box every day, to prevent fire caused by static electricity.


2. Regular lubrication is key to maintaining smooth operation. Add a little oil to the machine cylinder and other moving parts when they are dry. This helps reduce friction and wear. Be careful not to let the oil drip.

3. Add some heavy oil to the gears of the sock machine every year or every two years.

How to maintain sock toe closing machine:

1. Maintenance of the machine head: For newly received sock toe closing machines, initially change the oil in the machine head every 3 months. Subsequently, change the oil every 6 months to ensure optimal performance. The correct oil change operation is to suck out the used oil in the machine head first, and then refill it with clean machine head oil.

2. Maintenance of the left and right turbine boxes and widia upper knife: Inject an appropriate amount of high-grade lithium-based 2# grease every 2 months or so.

3. Maintenance of the machine head lifting seat and machine head scissors: Inject an appropriate amount of oil every week.

4. Maintenance of the machine chains: Add a small amount of chain oil every month or so, a few drops at a time. Adding too much will stain your socks.

How to maintain sock dotting machine:

1. Lubricate the sock dotting machine plate and turntable shaft once a month to ensure they remain properly lubricated and operate smoothly.

2. Daily cleaning and dust removal, especially the parts of the screen and scraper that contact the silicone.

3. After using the machine, don't adjust all valve buttons to the bottom, especially the air valve button, to prevent the machine from getting stuck when you start it next time.

How to maintain air compressor:

Temperature Management: Air compressors play a vital role in the textile manufacturing process, providing compressed air for a variety of operations. To optimize their performance and lifespan, closely monitor compressor temperatures. Take immediate action if the temperature exceeds 90 degrees Celsius or the high temperature alarm is triggered. Prevent potential overheating issues by opening the compressor housing and using a fan or air cooler to promote effective heat dissipation.
