• Environmental Conditions: Keep dry, avoid excessive humidity, and store in a temperature-controlled environment (0–45°C).

• Shipping: Suitable for air, sea, or land transport with shock-absorbent padding to protect against impact.

Proper packaging and handling ensure that the wheel arrives in perfect condition, ready for immediate installation.

Quick Installation Guide

Installing the pressure wheel is a straightforward process but must be done carefully to ensure optimal performance:

1. Preparation:

• Ensure the machine is powered off and all safety measures are in place.

• Clean the mounting area to remove dust and debris.

2. Mounting the Wheel:

• Align the pressure wheel with the machine’s drive shaft or mounting bracket.

• Slide it carefully into place without forcing the component.

3. Securing the Wheel:

• Tighten all bolts or locking mechanisms according to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.

• Check alignment to prevent uneven compression or vibration.

4. Operational Check:

• Manually rotate the wheel to ensure smooth movement.

• Perform a test run with a small batch to verify uniform compression and proper functioning.

5. Regular Inspection:

• Inspect the wheel for wear or misalignment weekly.

• Lubricate bearings or rotating parts as needed to maintain smooth operation.

Following these steps ensures safe and efficient installation, reducing the risk of production issues.

Maintenance and Care

To prolong the lifespan of the pressure wheel and maintain consistent performance:

• Daily: Wipe the surface clean of powder residues; inspect for visible wear.

• Weekly: Check alignment and secure fasteners; inspect bearings and lubricate if necessary.

• Monthly: Conduct a detailed inspection of wear patterns; replace worn parts promptly.

• Annually: Perform comprehensive maintenance, including precision measurements and component replacements if needed.

Regular care ensures the pressure wheel continues to deliver precise and reliable performance.
