Maintenance & Care Guide for Rice Noodle Machines: Boost Production from Daily Details
A rice noodle machine is the core equipment of any rice noodle or vermicelli production line. Its stability directly affects output, product quality, and overall operation costs. While many factories focus on “buying a better machine,” they often overlook one critical fact:
👉 Regular maintenance is what truly determines the machine’s performance and service life.
This guide provides a practical, easy-to-follow maintenance plan to help keep your rice noodle machine running at peak efficiency.
1. Why Is Maintenance So Important?
Reduce downtime and avoid unexpected failures
Improve product consistency, ensuring smooth, uniform noodles
Extend machine lifespan—a well-maintained machine can last over 10 years
Lower repair costs through preventive care
A healthy machine means stable production and better profits.
2. Daily Maintenance Checklist
(1) Pre-operation Check
Inspect cables, motors, and electrical connections
Check heating tubes and temperature controllers
Ensure all transmission parts are lubricated and secure
Clear away any debris around the machine
Tip: Preheat the machine for 2 minutes before feeding to reduce wear.
(2) Maintenance During Operation
Keep feeding steady to avoid clogging
Stop and inspect immediately if you hear abnormal noise or vibration
Maintain proper water ratio and temperature for stable noodle forming
Avoid long-term overload operation
Remember: High output comes from healthy equipment, not over-pushing the machine.
(3) End-of-Day Care (Most Important)
Clean hopper, forming unit, screw, cutter, and all contact parts
Use warm water—avoid splashing cold water on hot surfaces
Dry and apply a thin layer of cooking oil to prevent rust
Shut off power and check for loose or worn parts
Daily cleaning = longer lifespan + better noodle quality.
3. Weekly / Monthly Deep Maintenance
Inspect belt tension
Lubricate bearings and transmission chains
Check motor temperature and vibration
Inspect heating tubes for aging
Tighten electrical control screws
Replace worn parts in time to avoid bigger failures.
4. How to Know the Machine Needs Attention
If any of these signs appear, maintenance is needed:
Noodles break easily or form poorly
Increased vibration or loud operating noise
Lower production capacity
Unstable temperature control
Burnt smell or uneven heating
The earlier the issue is fixed, the lower the repair cost.
5. Tips to Extend Machine Life by 3–5 Years
Provide proper training for operators
Keep records of production conditions (temperature, moisture, output)
Create a “maintenance calendar”
Use original spare parts
Request regular inspection or remote support from the manufacturer
Good habits determine long-term performance.
Conclusion
The real value of a rice noodle machine is not just in the purchase—it’s in how well you maintain it.
Clean it daily, check it regularly, and it will reward your factory with stable, high-quality production for many years.
