The precautions for using a horizontal wet granulation machine mainly include the following aspects:
1. Preparation before operation:
Cleaning equipment: Before operation, it is necessary to clean the equipment, including all accessories and interfaces. Pay attention to safety and prohibit direct contact with the equipment by hand to prevent getting caught up.
Preheating equipment: The equipment needs to be preheated to the set temperature in order to accelerate the granulation process and improve efficiency. The preheating time should be determined based on equipment parameters and the type of granulation material.
Check equipment status: Before starting the equipment, check that there is no obvious damage to the appearance of the equipment, all fasteners are normal, and the power connection is stable.
2. Precautions during operation:
Safe operation: It is strictly prohibited to put hands or other objects into the mixing bucket during the operation process. Operators should wear personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles.
• Control feeding speed and quantity: When pouring granulation materials into the silo, control the feeding speed and quantity according to equipment parameters and granulation material types.
Adjust moisture: Wet granulation requires adding a certain amount of moisture, controlling the amount and speed of water addition, and gradually adjusting to the set value.
Regular equipment inspection: Regularly observe the operation of the equipment during operation, and if any abnormal situations are found, stop the machine for maintenance in a timely manner.
• Mixing process monitoring: Regularly check the mixing uniformity during the mixing process, and adjust the mixing speed or liquid addition amount if necessary to achieve the best mixing effect.
3. Maintenance and upkeep:
Regular inspection of mechanical components: Conduct a monthly inspection to ensure that moving parts such as worm gears, worms, bearings, etc. are flexible and free from wear.
Cleaning equipment: After each production, clean the mixing drum, granulation device, and other parts that come into contact with materials to prevent residual substances from affecting subsequent production.
• Storage environment: The machine should be placed in a dry and clean room to avoid the influence of acids and other corrosive gases.
