Malfunctions and troubleshooting methods of rotary feeders
In the powder pneumatic conveying system, conveying equipment is essential. We often come into contact with conveying equipment such as bin pumps, wear-resistant rotary feeders, material sealing pumps, AV pumps, etc. These conveying equipment are in direct contact with materials in the conveying system. During the conveying process, the wear of materials has a direct impact on the service life and quality of the equipment. So, how can we troubleshoot and repair them? Today, let's talk about the faults and maintenance of wear-resistant rotary feeders:
Common faults:
Internal noise: Generally, there are common situations where noise occurs. Firstly, there is material entering between the rotor and the side plate. Gas flushing can be carried out from the position of the side plug, which can be repeated several times; Secondly, when the casing or liner comes into contact with the rotor, the gap can be widened to achieve the appropriate clearance; 3、 If there is powder adhering to the inner surface of the casing and the powder melts, the gap between the rotor and the casing disappears, and the adhered material can be cleaned up to reduce the rotor end face area.
Vibration during equipment operation: This situation may generally occur due to the chain being too tight or particles getting stuck. You can loosen the chain or install a buffer plate appropriately.
Insufficient displacement: Firstly, due to the effect of internal gas, the falling of powder particles is hindered, and pumping measures can be taken
Secondly, the bulk density of the powder particles is different from the set value, and the method of increasing the rotational speed can be adopted
Note: The contact between the casing and the rotor can cause the feeder to burn out, increase the rotational resistance, and in most cases, cause the motor to trip.
The above are our common faults and troubleshooting methods. We know the troubleshooting methods, and equipment maintenance is also very important; The most important thing for proper operation is to conduct regular maintenance, but if a malfunction occurs before the maintenance deadline, it must also be repaired in a timely manner.
1. Regular monthly inspections. 2. Regular maintenance every year.
Regular monthly inspections
Whether there is noise and vibration; Is there any leakage in the sealing gland; The degree of tightness of the chain; Add fuel to the chain.
Regular maintenance every year
Clean and inspect all parts; Replace the sealing gland; Replace the bearing (if the bearing is damaged); Replace damaged parts: replace O-ring and oil seal; Adjust the gap; Come on.
Attention: The maintenance of gear transmission motors must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's user manual.
If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved during use, please feel free to call the company's after-sales department for consultation at any time.
