A repeatable routine helps you spot wear before it interrupts a milling day. Use this independent checklist alongside the maintenance and lubrication instructions for your exact machine.
Before every inspection
Stop feed, shut down, isolate all energy sources and wait until rotating parts stop. Keep people clear of the drive. Never inspect inside a powered milling chamber or operate without guards.
Daily routine
Check guards, visible fasteners, belt condition and signs of leaks, contact or loose components. Clean accessible dust and paddy residue after shutdown. Record unusual sound, vibration, output and rice quality.
Weekly routine
Inspect screens and accessible wear surfaces. Check mounts, drive alignment and the condition of belts with power isolated. Follow the manufacturer’s lubrication points, lubricant type and intervals rather than a generic schedule.
Monthly and seasonal review
Review breakdowns and replacement history. Check the condition of the installation with a competent technician and confirm which wear parts should be kept in stock. Before peak season, verify the fitment and quantity of critical spare parts.
Keep a maintenance record
Record the date, operating hours, measured output, symptom, replaced part and repair cost. These records help distinguish gradual wear from a new feed or power problem.
Order parts by evidence
Photograph the old component and nameplate, measure critical dimensions and keep the old part until the replacement has been checked. “N90” alone is not a compatibility guarantee.
