WPC Extrusion Machine Lubrication Frequency Guide

Lubrication is the single most important maintenance practice for WPC extrusion machines. Properly lubricated components reduce downtime, extend machine life by 20-30%, and ensure consistent product quality. Yongte engineer suggests the operators to following the instruction to do lubrication for WPC extrusion machine frequencyly.

1. Gearbox Lubrication

2. Screw Bearings & Drive Train

3. Hydraulic System (if equipped)

4. Other Moving Parts

5. Special Considerations for WPC Machines

• High temperatures (>60°C): Reduce interval by 20-40%
• Dusty/fibrous environment: Lubricate bearings every 200-500 hours
• Heavy loads: Increase frequency by 30-50% or lubricate every 500-1,500 hours

• Always use high-temperature-resistant lubricants (min. 180°C) due to machine heat
• Choose anti-wear additives to combat abrasive wood fiber particles
• Avoid petroleum-based products that might contaminate WPC material

6. General Lubrication Best Practices

1. Never over-lubricate: Excess grease traps dust and causes heat buildup
2. Clean before lubricating: Remove old grease and debris to prevent contamination
3. Document maintenance: Keep detailed records of lubrication dates, quantities, and types used
4. Follow manufacturer guidelines: Specific machine models may have unique requirements
