How to Avoid Potential Safety Hazards of EPS Foam Pelletizing Machine?

EPS foam pelletizing machine is common processing equipment in plastics. EPS plastic particles are widely used in the chemical industry, medicine, printing and dyeing, and other fields. We should pay attention to safety when operating EPS granulator equipment. So what should we pay attention to?

Precautions for the use of EPS foam pelletizing machine

1. After purchasing the EPS granulator, be sure to carefully read the plastic granulator installation instructions and operate and install it according to the instructions.
2. Check whether the nuts and safety covers of each part are loose. Pull the coupling or V-belt pulley by hand to check whether the transmission system is normal.
3. Check whether the electric cabinet has grounding protection and an emergency stop button.
4. Test whether the power supply, water, compressed air, heating, and cooling systems are connected and whether there is leakage.
5. The EPS foam pelletizing machine shall properly adjust the die clearance according to the product thickness requirements.

How to maintain the EPS foam granulator machine?

1. Regularly check whether the safety device of the EPS foam pelletizing machine is regular and effective, especially after replacing the mold, and check whether the mechanical insurance has been adjusted accordingly.
2. Regularly check the connection of ground wire, insulation of electrical components, and aging of wires.
3. Regularly check the pipe leakage of the EPS foam pelletizing machine and the fastening condition of the fasteners.
4. Regularly check whether the lubricating pump and base oil tank have enough oil.
5. Check the reliability of the lubrication system and lubricate the moving parts as required.
6. Regularly check the condition of the oil filter screen or filler.
7. When the hydraulic oil becomes dark brown and stinks, it is a sign of oxidation and deterioration, and the hydraulic oil should be renewed as soon as possible; When there are small black spots or transparent bright spots in the hydraulic oil, it indicates that impurities or metal powder are mixed in, and the oil should be filtered or replaced.
8. The cooler of the EPS foam granulator machine shall be soaked and cleaned with carbon tetrachloride solution every 5-10 months.
9. The maintenance of the screw, barrel, and other important parts of the plastic granulator must be carried out according to the instructions.

Summary

Safety is important for any production. Therefore, we should install and operate an EPS foam pelletizing machine according to the specifications, and maintain and repair it regularly. In this way, security problems can be avoided as much as possible.
