When an organic fertilizer double axis mixer is idle, on standby, or out of use for an extended period, strict requirements apply regarding its storage environment. An unsuitable environment can directly lead to equipment corrosion, component aging, and a decline in operational precision, thereby compromising its subsequent normal operation.
The storage site should be a dry, well-ventilated, rain-proof, and moisture-proof indoor space or enclosed shed; outdoor storage must be avoided. Outdoor exposure allows rainwater and dew to infiltrate the bearings, speed reducer, and motor internals, causing grease emulsification, metal corrosion, and electrical short circuits due to moisture—factors that significantly shorten the service life of the fertilizer making machine. The ground at the storage site must be firm, level, and free of standing water to prevent the machine body from tilting, the frame from deforming, or the base from corroding.
The equipment's storage environment must be kept free from dust and corrosive gases. Since organic fertilizer raw materials often contain salts, acids, and alkaline substances, corrosive dust and moisture in the air can accelerate the corrosion and rusting of metal components—such as the mixing shafts, paddles, flanges, and bearing housings—leading to stiff rotation and increased operational clearances. Additionally, the equipment should be kept away from high-temperature heat sources and open flames to prevent the motor wiring and sealing components from aging, hardening, or cracking.
Prior to long-term storage, any residual materials inside the machine body must be thoroughly cleaned out. Lubricating grease should be replenished in the bearings, transmission components, and mixing shafts, while exposed metal surfaces should be coated with anti-rust oil. Furthermore, the motor and electrical control cabinet must be properly sealed to protect against moisture. During the storage period, the equipment should be inspected periodically to ensure the environment remains clean and dry, thereby preventing rodents or insects from gnawing on the wiring and sealing components.
A properly controlled storage environment effectively minimizes equipment corrosion and aging, ensuring smooth, stable, and reliable operation when the machine is put back into service, while simultaneously reducing maintenance costs and extending the overall service life of the dual-shaft mixer.
