Common faults and solutions of the Rotary Drum Granulator
During the production process, if the Rotary Drum Granulator fails to solve the problem in time, it will affect the production efficiency of the enterprise. The following are some common faults and solutions of Rotary Drum Granulator:
- Equipment blockage
Reason: Uneven humidity, excessive viscosity, impurities, etc. of raw materials may cause blockage inside the drum.
Solution: For materials with high humidity, they can be properly dried before granulation; if it is impurity blockage, the equipment should be stopped to clean the impurities inside, and the material screening should be strengthened to remove impurities.
- Motor failure
Reason: Motor overload, bearing damage and other problems may cause motor failure.
Solution: Regularly check and maintain the motor, and replace damaged parts in time; at the same time, the load of the motor should be reasonably adjusted to avoid overload operation.
- Transmission system failure
Reason: The belts, chains, gears and other parts in the transmission system may be worn, broken or loose.
Solution: Check the wear of the transmission parts regularly and replace the seriously worn parts in time; at the same time, lubricate and adjust the transmission parts properly.
- Cooling system failure
Reason: Water pump failure, cooling pipe blockage and other problems may cause cooling system failure.
Solution: Check the operation of the cooling system regularly, repair or replace damaged parts in time; at the same time, ensure that the water quality of the cooling system is good.
- Granulation is not formed
Reason: The moisture content of the material is not appropriate; the amount of binder added is insufficient to make the material effectively bonded together.
Solution: Detect the moisture content of the material and adjust the moisture content to the appropriate range by adding dry material or humidification; at the same time, check the amount of binder added and increase the binder appropriately according to the nature of the material and granulation requirements.
- Uneven particle size
Reason: The mold of the Rotary Drum Granulator is severely worn, making it difficult to control the particle size; the feed speed is unstable, causing inconsistent pressure on the material.
Solution: If the mold is worn, replace it with a new one; if the feed speed is unstable, check the feed system, including the feed motor, conveying pipeline, etc.
