Humidity Impact on Horizontal Balers
The humidity of the working environment will affect the Horizontal Baler in many aspects, such as equipment performance and material handling:
1. Rusting of Metal Parts
- Compression chamber, hydraulic pipelines, and transmission gears oxidize in high humidity
-
Effects of rust:
- Increased surface roughness and friction resistance
- Impaired precision movement of pressure head
- Seal failures and hydraulic leaks
- Potential chain breakage or bearing jams
Critical: Rust can significantly shorten equipment lifespan if not addressed.
2. Hydraulic System Failure
-
Hydraulic oil absorbs moisture and emulsifies:
- Reduced viscosity and lubrication performance
- Increased wear on pumps and valves
-
Operational impacts:
- System pressure fluctuations
- Insufficient compression force
- Slow pressure head movement
Results in reduced bale compactness and packaging efficiency.
3. Electrical System Damage
-
Affected components:
- Control boxes
- Motors
- Sensors
-
Potential failures:
- Reduced insulation leading to short circuits
- Leakage accidents
- Burned circuits
-
Control system interference:
- Unstable signal transmission
- Packaging parameter deviations
4. Material Handling Problems
-
High humidity effects:
- Increased water content in absorbent materials (paper, straw)
- Tougher, harder-to-compress materials
- Material slipping in compression chamber
-
Low humidity effects:
- Static buildup in plastics/chemical fibers
- Material entanglement and feeding issues
Both high and low humidity conditions can significantly reduce operational efficiency.
