Briquetting Press Density Optimization
When briquette density falls below standards, systematically adjust these four parameters for quick resolution.
1. Pressure Adjustment
- Verify hydraulic system pressure setting value
- Gradually increase pressure by 5%-10% increments (never exceed rated pressure)
- Calibrate pressure sensors using gauge calibration tools
- Replace faulty sensors to ensure accurate pressure transmission
Pro Tip: Document pressure changes and corresponding density results for future reference
2. Pressing Time Optimization
- Increase single pressing time by 1-2 second increments
- Balance with production efficiency requirements
- Combine with pressure adjustments for synergistic effects
- Experiment with reduced holding intervals for multiple compressions
⚠️ Efficiency Consideration
Excessive pressing time improvements may significantly reduce throughput - find the optimal balance.
3. Material Condition Control
-
Adjust particle size:
- Too coarse → large inter-particle gaps
- Too fine → poor air permeability
- Modify particle size using crusher screen replacements
-
Maintain ideal moisture content (5%-12%):
- Too high → add drying process
- Too low → apply water mist
4. Equipment Component Maintenance
-
Inspect molds for wear/deformation:
- Causes size deviations
- Leads to uneven density
- Check transmission components for looseness
- Conduct 3-5 trial runs after adjustments
- Test briquette density after each trial
Maintenance Tip: Create a component inspection checklist for regular preventive maintenance
By methodically adjusting these four parameters and carefully monitoring results, operators can consistently achieve optimal briquette density while maintaining equipment integrity and production efficiency.
