How to Mainten Your Feed Pellet Machine?

A comprehensive guide to feed pellet machine’s maintenance combines common troubleshooting methods and preventive maintenance measures to help you ensure the efficient and stable operation of the equipment. ‌

A, Daily Inspection and Preparation before Starting
Before starting the equipment every time, a quick check can avoid many potential problems:

Power supply and circuit inspection: ensure that the power supply voltage is stable, the socket is firmly connected, and the switch is on. Check the motor, wiring and control system for aging or poor contact. ‌

Lubrication system inspection: check whether the lubricating oil in key parts such as bearings, gears and rollers is sufficient and the oil quality is good. This is the key to reduce wear and prevent overheating. ‌

Fastener inspection: Make sure that all bolts and connectors (especially the fixing screws of molds and rollers) are firmly tightened, so as to prevent vibration or failure caused by looseness during operation. ‌

Cleaning of feeding system: clean the feeding port to ensure that no hard impurities such as nails and stones enter the raw materials to avoid damaging the mold. ‌

B, The Monitoring and Maintenance in Operation
During the operation of the equipment, it is necessary to pay close attention to its working state:

Temperature monitoring: the temperature control system is used to monitor the temperature of the motor and key components in real time to prevent the failure caused by overheating. If the temperature rises abnormally, stop the machine immediately for inspection. ‌

Noise and vibration detection: pay attention to the sound when the equipment is running. Abnormal noise or violent vibration may indicate bearing wear, transmission system problems or loose parts, which need to be dealt with in time. ‌

Raw material moisture control: keep raw material moisture between 13% and 15%. Too high or too low moisture will affect the molding effect of particles and the normal operation of equipment. ‌

Parameter adjustment: according to the actual production situation, reasonably adjust the feeding speed, roller pressure and other parameters to ensure the equipment to run under the best working conditions. ‌

C. Cleaning and Maintenance after Shutdown
Timely cleaning and maintenance after production can effectively prolong the service life of equipment;

Thoroughly clean the equipment: use high-pressure air or special tools to clean the dust and residues in the mold, roller, transmission part and fuselage to prevent their accumulation from affecting the next production or causing blockage. ‌

Check the wear condition: regularly check the wear degree of vulnerable parts such as molds, rollers and bearings. Once serious wear is found, it should be replaced in time to ensure particle quality and production efficiency. ‌

Lubrication maintenance: supplement or replace grease for moving parts such as bearings. It is recommended to inject oil once every two weeks, and select high-temperature wear-resistant grease suitable for working conditions. ‌

D, Regular Maintenance Plan
In addition to routine maintenance, regular comprehensive overhaul is essential:

Comprehensive overhaul: it is recommended to carry out a comprehensive overhaul every 1000 hours of operation or according to the frequency of equipment use. Check all key components, and clean, adjust or replace them to ensure that the equipment is in the best condition. ‌

Maintenance of key components:
Press roller and mold: check the gap regularly and adjust or replace it according to the wear condition. ‌

Belt and transmission system: check whether the tension of V-belt or synchronous belt is appropriate, whether it is worn or aging, and replace it in groups if necessary. ‌

Electric control system: keep the electric control cabinet dry and clean, and check the internal components regularly. ‌
