How to maintain garri making machines?

Garri making machines are crucial in the cassava processing industry, ensuring efficient production of high-quality garri. Proper maintenance is key to preventing breakdowns, reducing downtime, and extending the machine's lifespan. In this article, Henan Jinrui, as a leading manufacturer of cassava processing equipment, will explore specific maintenance practices with you for garri making machines to keep them running smoothly.

Regular cleaning is important for garri making machines maintenance. After each production cycle, it is imperative to clean the garri making machine thoroughly, to remove cassava residue, starch buildup, and other debris. In particular, the following garri processing equipment should be cleaned up:

Garri processing equipment

Paddle washer: Remove the sand and impurities in the washer in time to ensure the cleaning effect of the equipment.

Cassava peeler: Cleaning cassava peels ensures stable operation of peeler.

Cassava grinder: Clear leftover cassava pulp to prevent clogging.

Hydraulic press: Remove excess water and cassava fibrous waste.

Garri frying machine: Scrape off burnt particles to avoid contamination in garri production.

Proper lubrication is vital for the smooth operation of the moving parts in a garri making machine. These typically include bearings, gears, conveyor belts and chains. Use the recommended lubricant by the manufacturer, as different machines may require different types of lubricants.

Apply the lubricant at regular intervals. Over - lubricating can attract dirt and debris, while under - lubricating can cause excessive wear and tear on the components. After applying the lubricant, wipe off any excess to keep the garri making machine clean and prevent the accumulation of contaminants.

Regular inspection of key components is essential for the maintenance of garri making machine. By regularly inspecting the equipment, problems with the equipment can be discovered in a timely manner and effectively solved to ensure the smooth operation of the garri production line. Focus on the following critical components:

Electric motor: Ensure no overheating or unusual vibrations. Check the ventilation around the motor to ensure that it is not blocked and that there is proper air circulation.

Belts and chains: Check if the belt is stretched, broken or misaligned during operation. Loose belts or chains will reduce efficiency. Replace any damaged belts in time to ensure stable operation of the entire garri production line.

Heating system (for fryers): Verify temperature consistency, ensures the quality of garri.

Sieving machine: Check for holes or blockages affecting garri texture.

Garri production line

Timely electrical system maintenance can ensure stable operation of garri making machine. Check the lines for wear and corrosion. Ensure good grounding to avoid electrical hazards during garri production. Test safety switches and emergency stop functions before the equipment is put into operation.

During the maintenance garri making machine, it is important to replace parts that are prone to wear, such as the blades of the cassava grinding machine. Over time, these blades can become dull or damaged due to the grinding characteristics of cassava. If you notice a significant drop in grinding efficiency or uneven grinding of the cassava, you may need to sharpen or replace the blades to ensure efficient operation of the equipment.

Garri production equipment

To ensure consistent quality of the garri produced, it is important to calibrate the garri making machine regularly during the maintenance garri processing equipment. This involves adjusting settings such as the grinding fineness of grinder, roasting temperature and time of fryer, and particles fineness of sifter. Use standard calibration tools or methods provided by the manufacturer. Calibration helps to maintain the correct texture, taste, and nutritional value of the garri.

Following these garri machine maintenance practices ensures long lifespan, high efficiency, and food safety compliance.
