Protection and Maintenance of Laboratory Furniture

Laboratory furniture is the foundation of a company's production and business activities. In the rapidly developing environment of today's society, laboratory furniture has become an important component of a company's core competitiveness. Useful protection of laboratory furniture is the foundation for reducing equipment failure rates, reducing repair costs, extending equipment lifespan, and fully tapping into equipment potential. But how often should preventive laboratory furniture protection and maintenance be carried out? In principle, each laboratory should personally determine the period of equipment protection and maintenance. However, different laboratories in the same scientific field can have completely different equipment protection and maintenance experiences, and their methods are also different.

Laboratory furniture maintenance refers to the protection, maintenance, and repair of laboratory furniture, which refers to all activities carried out to restore the functionality of laboratory furniture. Including: regular protective maintenance operations such as cleaning, checking, smoothing, tightening, and adjusting to avoid equipment deterioration and maintain equipment functionality; Necessary inspections conducted to determine the degree of equipment deterioration or functional decline; Repair activities carried out to correct deterioration and rehabilitation equipment functionality.

Protection is not the same as preservation, even laboratory furniture that works normally needs to be regularly protected and maintained. For example, whether the equipment can adapt to the customer's practical situation, whether the working power can reach high, how to extend the service life of the equipment, what difficulties the equipment can present in practical work, and so on, are all challenges to address the needs of protection and maintenance operations.

The protection and maintenance of equipment are important components of laboratory operations. Doing a good job in equipment protection and maintenance is related to the integrity rate, usage rate, and output rate of experimental teaching, leading to the success rate of the experiment.

The necessity of protection and maintenance

A normal and outstanding smooth oil system is crucial to ensure the normal operation of laboratory furniture, and regular inspections are required; Dry filters should be replaced annually; The composition of smooth oil has a direct impact on its smoothness, and it is usually necessary to replace it every year or if the equipment operates for a long time, otherwise it will increase the wear and tear of the equipment.

1) The smoothness of equipment bearings and the tightening of wiring directly affect the normal operation or service life of the equipment;

2) The leakage inspection and regular repair of equipment materials will directly affect the operational function of the equipment;

3) Regularly adjusting the electrical control of the equipment when the load fluctuates or the working conditions are different can ensure efficient operation of the equipment under different working conditions and loads;

4) The removal and water treatment of equipment and systems can also affect the working power and defect rate of the equipment.

Economy of protection and maintenance

1) Regular protection can ensure the safe and efficient operation of laboratory furniture, reduce energy consumption, and save energy;

2) Regular inspection of equipment can identify problems in advance and reduce unnecessary losses (such as refrigerant leakage);

3) Reduce the possibility of small problems leading to major problems, and then save on repair costs;

4) Can shorten repair time and improve equipment utilization;

5) Outstanding and reasonable protection and maintenance can effectively extend the service life of equipment.
