Even the most stable Plastic Bottle Press Machine inevitably encounter common malfunctions during long-term high-load operation. Understanding the causes and troubleshooting methods for these malfunctions can help operators respond quickly and restore production. One common malfunction is “insufficient pressure, incomplete compression.”
This is usually related to the hydraulic system. Possible causes include low hydraulic oil level, hydraulic oil deterioration due to prolonged lack of oil changes, internal wear of the hydraulic pump, excessively low pressure setting on the relief valve, or a stuck valve core. Troubleshooting requires checking each issue one by one, starting with replenishing or replacing the hydraulic oil, and then adjusting or cleaning the relief valve. Another common problem is “excessive oil temperature.”
This may be due to a malfunctioning cooling system (such as a cooling fan or water cooler), improper selection of hydraulic oil viscosity, excessively high system pressure leading to large overflow losses, or excessively long continuous operating time. Corresponding measures include cleaning the cooler, replacing the oil with the appropriate viscosity, properly adjusting the working pressure, and scheduling appropriate equipment breaks.
Another common problem is “malfunctioning or erratic operation,” which is often caused by electrical problems, such as malfunctioning limit switches or proximity switches, PLC output point faults, or poor wiring connections. Troubleshooting these types of problems requires the use of tools such as a multimeter to check if the signal is being delivered normally. For complex faults, it is recommended to contact a professional repair technician promptly and avoid blindly disassembling the device.
