Operating, Calibrating, and Maintaining Grain 操作校准和保持粮食.pptVIP

General Maintenance Before season starts, make a preliminary inspections and adjustments Keep machine clean. Make sure that nuts, cap screws, shields, and sheet metal parts are tight Inspect machine daily before starting Keep maintenance records Do not abuse the machine General maintenance Check all fluid levels daily before starting Lubricate bearings and chains Check tire pressure Check belts for tension, wear, tearing, cracking, swelling, and unraveling Maintain correct chain tension, 1/4” of sag between shaft centers Belt maintenance Replacing a belt never pry over the rim Wipe off all grease as soon as possible Clean belts periodically in mild soap and water Use of belt dressing is not recommended because causes deterioration Check pulleys for misalignment, excessive wear, damage, distortion, and dirt Chain maintenance Remove at end of season for cleaning and lubrication Add or remove links for proper tension Do not add new or old links to the chain as it will wear on sprockets Check alignment of all sprockets Do not put new chain on worn sprockets, as its life will be shortened. Principles Grain drying and handling equipment involve factors relating to system design and the removal of moisture. Goals of a drying system Timely harvest of top quality grain Safe and pleasant working conditions Ability to do important drying jobs efficiently holding wet grain drying wet grain cooling dried grain Capacity to handle grain at harvesting rate Provision for expansion in the future Grain dries by removing water Grain is harvested at high moisture to minimize harvesting losses Grain is dried artificially to prevent spoilage fan picks up air, carries it over an energy storage, pushes air through the grain mass to absorb moisture and carry it outside the system drying zone is the layer being dried, only grain in this zone is being dried, grain below this zone is dried and grain above is wet drying front is the leading edge of drying zone Grain dries by removing water Equil
