Detail question you may hope to know about chain link fence machine

Hebei DAPU machinery Co.,Ltd have over 25 years experience of machine manufacturing. The chain link fence machine sold over 100 sets per year. 
The latest double wire cyclone wire mesh machine is the highest speed in Chinese market now, can reach 180-240 square meter per hour.  
We collect the questions asked most before customer order. Hope these answers will help you better understand our machines.

1. Dimensions, Structure, and Installation

What is the total height of the machine? We need to know if it will fit under the slab or structure where it would be installed.
Height 2.7meter. The take-up wire payoff need 2.7meter height.

What are the complete dimensions of the machine: length, width, and height?
6.7mx7.5m, we have the layout drawing of machine. 

What material is the shell, cover, or main structure of the machine made of?
Cast iron, carbon steel, 45# steel and alloy steel. Different parts are different.

Which parts of the machine are made of steel, cast iron, or another material?
1. The main unit's base, frame, etc., are made of cast iron, providing load-bearing capacity, shock absorption, and wear resistance.
2. The spindle, drive shaft, straightening wheel, thread pressing wheel, gears, lead screw, etc., are made of carbon steel/45# steel/alloy steel.
3. The lubrication water pipes, baffles, and water tank are made of stainless steel.

Does the material of the structure guarantee good resistance to continuous operation, vibration, and industrial use?
Machine structure is made of 5mm thickness square tube, strong structure and shock resistance.

How to install the machine and train our staff in its operation?
We have the full set installation video from A to Z, and manual book. Your technician can try to installation with out technician’s help in talk group. A lot of customer start the machine successfully in this way.
If you want to use the machine faster and easier, we can send technician to your factory. The cost need to pay including: 
1. Visa cost  2.Round trip air ticket.  3.Salary for technician 150USD per day, normally 5-7days can finish install and training.  4.Accommodation and meals.

2. Cooling, Lubrication, and Maintenance
How does the cooling system work for manufacturing the mesh, especially in the screw/mold and wire area?
Lubricating fluid flows from a water pipe to the rotating mold to lubricate the friction between the wire and the mold. The lubricating fluid is recycled; a water tank and pump are located at the bottom of the machine to circulate the lubricating fluid.

Which parts require constant lubrication?
The molds lubrication by water and Cutting fluid.
Bearings, shafts, chains, and other components require mechanical lubricating oil.

How often should the machine be lubricated during operation?
Check every part and add per day before turn on the machine.

How often is preventive maintenance recommended?
Every shift check the lubrication, Clean the machine body of metal shavings, scrap wire, and dust.  Check electric cable connection, forbid looseness.
Every weed totally check the electric system, tighten terminal blocks, tidy wiring, and check grounding wires, button wiring, and inverter wiring. 
Check the connection belt, clutch and fan of electric box.

3. Plates or Blades
Can the plates be purchased separately, meaning what we call “blades”?
Yes, the blade can buy separately. Our knives are hardened and 5mm thick.
We suggest you to buy more set of mold, for future using. Shipping with machine can saving  a lot of delivery cost. 
Also for different mesh opening, it need to change the whole set of mold.

How often do these plates or blades normally wear out?
Decide by the wire material and working time every day. 2-4 month decide by your using. Lubrication is important, it can greatly make the service lifer longer.
4. Wire, Gauge, and Tensile Strength
As the wire becomes thicker, does its tensile strength increase?
For same material, thicker wire tensile strength will be bigger.

Does the wire gauge affect the production capacity of the machine?
Yes, but not effect a lot, it need to adjust the rotating speed

5. Coils and Wire Feeding
Since the machine works with two wire feeds, can each side work with wire from different suppliers?
No, they need same supplier. Different supplier, wire tensile strength different.

In that case, how important is it that both wires have the same diameter, tensile strength, coating, and tension?
Yes, two coils need the same  diameter, tensile strength, coating, and tension.

Can using wires from different suppliers affect the quality of the mesh, the weaving, the tension, or the production of the machine?
Yes, it will affect. Using different types of wire will result in inconsistent mesh tension, misaligned diamonds, and substandard finished products. It will also cause wire break and block. Motor load difference will easil
