Comprehensive Anti-Sticking Solutions for Briquetting Press
To prevent material sticking in the briquetting press cavity, implement these four key strategies for optimal performance.
1. Material Pretreatment
-
Control moisture content (5-12%):
- Too high → use drying equipment
- Too low → apply water mist
-
Adjust particle size (2-10mm):
- Use crushers and screening equipment
- Avoid fine powders with large surface area
Pro Tip: Conduct material tests to determine ideal moisture/size parameters for your specific material
2. Equipment Optimization
-
Select proper cavity materials:
- Stainless steel
- Hard chrome-plated surfaces
- Design with arc transitions (R≥5mm) to eliminate dead corners
-
Apply anti-stick coatings:
- Teflon (PTFE)
- Ceramic coatings
Equipment Upgrade Suggestion
Consider retrofitting older presses with modern anti-stick surface treatments for immediate improvement
3. Operational Standards
-
Optimize pressing parameters:
- Adjust pressure for material characteristics
- Set appropriate pressing duration
-
Perform cavity flushing after production:
- Use clean materials or quartz sand
- 1-2 flushing cycles
- Regularly blow out gaps with compressed air
4. Maintenance Procedures
-
Post-shutdown cleaning:
- Use copper scrapers
- Remove residues before hardening
-
Regular cavity inspections:
- Check for wear
- Replace damaged components
- Maintain sealing systems to prevent oil contamination
Maintenance Schedule: Create daily, weekly, and monthly checklists for consistent preventive maintenance
By systematically implementing these material, equipment, operational, and maintenance solutions, operators can significantly reduce material sticking issues and maintain optimal briquetting press performance.
