What Details Should We Pay Attention to When Using an Extruder

1. Pay attention to checking before starting

Check carefully before using twin screw extruder with good brands and reputation, for example,  if there are left debris should be cleaned up first in the barrel or up and down of hopper, then the screws of extruder should be checked if they are tight, if they are loose, tighten them up at once. Besides, lubricating oil should be put on the bearing and other relative parts, the surrounding staff should be notified first before starting up.

 

2. Be careful to give it a trial run

For a period of time after starting up, the motor of the extruder should be started at a low speed, and then the working current pointer should be checked to ensure that it is in normal state. If there is any unusual noise or the machine is not running smoothly at the beginning of the operation of the twin screw extruder, the machine should be shut down and stopped using immediately and the relevant maintenance personnel should be informed to solve the problem. Idling time should not exceed half an hour.

 

3. Pay attention to the temperature change and safety problem

When the extruder is normally operated and sold well in the industry, the operator should always be aware of the temperature changes in the bearing and other key parts. For example, the temperature of this part can be examined with the back-kiss of fingers.However, during the operation of the extruder, you should not touch any rotating parts with your hands to avoid safety problems. Besides, you should not hit them with heavy hammers and take corresponding protective measures during the disassembly and installation.

 

The above are the few details that need to be paid attention to when using the extruder. In addition, it should be noted that when cleaning the residue on the screw, barrel and mold, it must be cleaned with a bamboo or cooper knife and brush, do not use steel tools to scrape residual material or grill parts with fire. At the same time, the extruder is not allowed to run in the process of dealing with the extruder fault.
