Briquetting Machine Operation & Maintenance Guide
1. Preparation Before Start-up
- Equipment inspection: Check connections of core components, transmission & lubrication systems, looseness or leaks
- Material readiness: Confirm pretreatment requirements met, impurities removed, humidity & particle size within standards
- Environment cleanup: Clean surrounding area to ensure unobstructed operating space
- Safety check: Verify safety protection devices are intact before start-up
2. Standard Operating Procedures
- Feeding rate: Maintain uniform & stable material feeding; avoid over/under-feeding
- Monitoring: Watch for abnormal noise, temperature signals; stop immediately if uneven density or overheating occurs
- Parameter adjustment: Adjust pressure & conveying speed gradually based on material characteristics
- Malfunction policy: Never operate with malfunction; stop for troubleshooting when needed
3. Maintenance & Upkeep Points
- Post-operation cleaning: Remove residual material from machine body & core components, especially mold cavity & extrusion surfaces
- Wear inspection: Regularly check condition of vulnerable parts; replace severely worn parts promptly
- Lubrication: Lubricate transmission mechanism & extrusion components as required
- Service life: Proper maintenance extends overall equipment lifespan
4. Safety Precautions
- Protective equipment: Operators must wear appropriate protection to avoid injury from splashes or contact
- Restricted areas: Never put hands or objects into feed inlet or mold area while running
- Maintenance safety: Disconnect power & wait for complete stop before maintenance or cleaning
- Emergency response: Know emergency stop location & operation; activate immediately in emergencies
