How to solve briquetting machine jamming issues

Stop the machine and disconnect power for operator safety. Use appropriate tools to gently remove blocked material—avoid forceful methods that could damage components. For stubborn blockages, apply suitable lubricant to loosen material without contamination.

Common causes include inappropriate material properties (excessive moisture, inconsistent particle sizes), worn or misaligned machine parts (dull molds, loose rollers), and irregular feeding rates that disrupt the compression process.

Optimize material preparation by drying wet materials or crushing large particles. Adjust feeding mechanisms for consistent flow. Replace worn components, realign parts, and ensure proper calibration to prevent uneven compression.

Conduct routine inspections for wear, misalignment, or material buildup. Clean regularly to prevent hardening residues. Train operators to recognize early warning signs and document incidents to refine practices and enhance reliability.
