1Immediately Perform Emergency Stop and Protective Measures
- Press the machine's emergency stop button to shut off the main power supply
- Hang a "Jam in Progress, Do Not Start" warning sign near the power switch
- Wear protective gear such as non-slip gloves and goggles
2Preliminary Investigation of the Cause of the Jam
- Open the machine's safety cover and access door to inspect the material inside
- Determine if the jam is caused by excessive material loading, hard impurities, or insufficient blade clearance
- Check for deformation or misalignment of the blades or jamming of transmission components
3Safely Clear the Jammed Material
- Select appropriate tools based on the location and material type
- Use a special hook or long-handled tool to gently pull the stuck material out
- If material is tightly entangled, loosen the blade retaining bolts before clearing
- Avoid direct contact with the blade edge during the cleaning process
4Inspect and Adjust Equipment Components
- Inspect key components such as the blade, bearings, and drive belt
- Polish or replace blunt blades promptly
- Re-tighten loose components
- Adjust equipment parameters based on the cause of the jam
5Test and Restore Equipment
- Close the equipment access door and protective cover
- Remove the warning sign and power on for a no-load test run
- Observe the equipment for smooth operation and any abnormal noises
- Perform a load test with a small amount of material before resuming normal operation
Note: Always follow your facility's specific safety protocols and equipment manufacturer guidelines when dealing with machinery jams.
