Maintenance Tips for Your Concrete Wall Making Machine: Maximize Lifespan & Efficiency
A concrete wall making machine is a major investment for any construction business or precast factory. Whether you’re producing boundary walls, partition panels, or structural walls, keeping your machine in excellent condition is key to long-term productivity and profit.
At KELAI Machinery, we’ve supported clients in over 30 countries with reliable machines and practical training. Here are our top maintenance tips to ensure your machine stays efficient and trouble-free.
🔧 1. Perform Daily Cleaning After Each Shift
After production:
- Remove leftover concrete and material buildup from the extruder, hopper, and mold table.
- Clean the oil nozzle and scraper to prevent cement hardening.
- Wipe down the control panel and wheels with a dry cloth.
📝 Tip: Never allow wet concrete to dry on critical parts — it shortens machine lifespan and causes jamming.
🛠️ 2. Check Wear Parts Weekly
Some parts experience more wear than others:
- Screws and extruding shaft
- Scrapers and guides
- Vibration motor components
Inspect these weekly and replace if worn out. KELAI supplies standard spare parts with every shipment for quick replacement.
🧯 3. Lubricate Moving Parts Regularly
Lubrication reduces friction and prevents overheating. Focus on:
- Chain drive mechanisms
- Bearings and guide rails
- Hydraulic units (if applicable)
📌 Use the recommended oil or grease stated in the operation manual.
🔋 4. Monitor Electrical System and Control Panel
- Check the power supply voltage is stable
- Inspect cables and connectors for any loose contact
- Ensure buttons, switches, and sensors are responsive
- Backup machine settings if digital control is used
A faulty control system can halt your entire production line. Regular testing avoids unexpected downtime.
🌡️ 5. Avoid Overloading the Machine
Overloading causes:
- Excessive motor heat
- Component fatigue
- Panel defects
Always follow the recommended material mix ratio and maximum extrusion capacity. KELAI provides mix formula guidance during installation to help you optimize performance.
📚 Bonus Tip: Train Your Operators
The best maintenance starts with the operator. Make sure your team:
- Understands the machine manual
- Follows safety and cleaning protocols
- Keeps a daily log of usage and issues
- Communicates clearly with your technician or supervisor
KELAI provides training videos and documentation to support your staff, whether you’re running one machine or an entire production line.
Final Thoughts
Taking care of your concrete wall making machine is not difficult — it just requires consistency and basic discipline. With proper maintenance, your machine can run for 8–10 years with minimal repairs.
