How Often Shall We Maintenance On My Roof Panel Roll Forming Machine?

All of Xiamen Bogong Machinery’s portable roof panel roll forming machines have common maintenance procedures, it based on how often you run your machines. If you use your machines at a normal operating duty, try to take any maintenance actions two or three times a week, checking it over at least once a week. The more often you maintain and inspect your machine, the less time it will take you overall to keep up with routine cleaning, and other items.

Please note that not every roof panel roll forming machine will use this same specific timing or instructions, but the below recommendations are based on the SSQ II™ MultiPro Roof Panel Machine manual:

Every 30 hours of operation - Lubricate the three main drive gears with Open Gear Spray Lubricant (recommended).

Every 40 hours of operation - Lubricate the chains with dry motorcycle chain lube or equivalent.

Daily - Clean and lubricate Top Blades, Bottom Dies and Male/Female Dies of the Shear Blade with Spray Lube so they last longer. More should be added as needed before the cut edges begin to deteriorate, or whenever cutting surfaces look dry.

Weekly - Check hydraulic oil fluid levels, otherwise it will degrade if it remains stagnate in the system for too long. The hydraulic system operates the Shear and Drive assemblies, so it must be properly maintained to ensure trouble-free operation and longevity.

The fluid level should be about 6” below the top of the filler neck (refer to your machine specific manual for oil level specifications). Also, note the color and condition of the fluid. Good and clean fluid should be clear in color.

Yearly - Every year it’s recommended to change the hydraulic system oil and filter, especially if portable roll forming machinery is used outdoors and exposed to the elements. Change the fluid more frequently if the machine is constantly operating in a dusty environment or if the fluid becomes contaminated. The filter should be replaced when the red Replacement Indicator sticks up.
