Daily Cleaning is Essential

Surface Cleaning

After use and disconnecting the power cord, carefully wipe the drum exterior, body, and control panel with a soft cloth dampened with a neutral detergent. This effectively removes surface stains and grease. Be careful to prevent moisture from penetrating the electrical circuits, which could cause malfunctions.

For stubborn stains, gently wipe with an alcohol wipe. Avoid using steel wool or corrosive cleaners, as these can scratch the surface or corrode components, affecting the appearance and performance of the machine.

Internal Cleaning

Open the drum door and promptly remove any residual seasoning, such as powder or granules. For hard-to-reach areas, vacuum the drum interior if necessary to ensure there is no residue left. Because the double-drum seasoning machine is food-grade equipment, the interior should be rinsed with hot water or a special disinfectant, then wiped clean with a dry cloth. This effectively prevents bacterial growth and ensures safe and hygienic food production.

Lubrication and Mechanical Maintenance Must Be Regular

Bearing and Chain Lubrication

Monthly, inspect the machine's transmission components, such as bearings, chains, and gears. After inspection, lubricate with food-grade grease or the manufacturer's specified lubricant.

Note: Over-lubrication may contaminate the seasoning. Therefore, wipe off excess grease promptly after lubrication to ensure proper operation of the machine and food safety.

Fastener Inspection

Regularly inspect the machine's fasteners, such as screws and belt tension. Tighten any loose screws immediately. Adjust belt tension if inappropriate to prevent noise or malfunctions caused by looseness, which could affect production efficiency.

Electrical System Inspection

Power Supply and Wiring

Regularly inspect the machine's cables for damage and ensure proper electrical connection. If you notice any damaged cables or poor socket contact, repair or replace them promptly to avoid safety hazards such as short circuits.

When cleaning the control panel, ensure the device is powered off to prevent moisture-induced circuit failures, ensuring operator safety and proper operation of the device.

Sensor Maintenance

Photoelectric sensors or weight sensors are crucial for accurate device operation. Clean them regularly to prevent seasoning buildup and affect accuracy, ensuring accurate seasoning.

Specialized drum maintenance is crucial.

Rust Prevention

Stainless steel drums should be regularly wiped with a special maintenance agent to maintain their rust resistance. If scratches are found on the drum surface, polish them promptly to prevent rust from forming, which could affect the drum's lifespan and food safety.

Non-stainless steel parts can be protected with food-safety-compliant anti-rust paint.

Seal Inspection

Regularly inspect the drum door seal for signs of aging or cracking. The integrity of the seal is crucial to preventing leakage and external contamination. If any problems are found, replace the seal promptly to ensure the equipment's sealing performance. 

Don't forget regular deep maintenance.

Monthly Maintenance

Removable parts, such as the mixing blades, should be disassembled monthly to thoroughly clean any dead corners to prevent dirt buildup that could affect normal operation and food quality.

Also, check the motor cooling fan for blockage and ensure proper ventilation to ensure effective heat dissipation and prevent damage from overheating.

Annual Professional Maintenance

Contact the manufacturer or a professional technician annually to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the equipment's circuitry, reducer, and other core components. Professional maintenance can identify potential equipment issues promptly and enable targeted repairs and maintenance to ensure the equipment remains in optimal operating condition, safeguarding your production.
