In organic fertilizer production lines, the flat die granulator is the core shaping equipment. Its operating condition directly affects pellet quality, production efficiency, and machine lifespan. Proper maintenance reduces downtime, cuts energy use, and extends the equipment’s life.

1.Daily Cleaning and Lubrication
Clean residue after each shift: Use proper tools to remove built-up material from the die plate and roller surfaces to prevent corrosion and clogging.
Check lubrication regularly: Add high-temperature grease to bearings every 8 hours. Lubricate drive gears weekly.
2.Wear Part Monitoring and Replacement
Check die plate wear: Measure die hole diameters weekly. Replace the plate immediately when wear exceeds 10% of the standard size.
Maintain rollers: Inspect roller grooves for every 500 tons of fertilizer produced. Repair or replace rollers if groove wear reaches 3mm deep.
Clean screens regularly: Clear screen blockages every shift. Check screens for damage monthly.

3.Electrical System Preventive Care
Dust control cabinets: Clean dust from electrical components and check terminal tightness quarterly.
Calibrate sensors: Professionally calibrate level sensors and temperature sensors every six months.
4.Seasonal Deep Maintenance
Before peak season: Fully inspect the drive system. Replace worn seals.
During shutdowns: Disassemble and clean the entire machine. Apply anti-rust treatment to rusty parts.
Long-term storage: Drain the lubrication system. Coat key parts with anti-rust oil. Protect the motor from moisture.

Establishing this maintenance system keeps flat die granulators running at their best. Following these steps lowers production cost per ton and ensures consistent product quality.
