During the granulation process using a disc granulator, the following common issues may be encountered:
Uneven particle size:
Reason: Inconsistent humidity of raw materials, unsuitable disc speed, clogged or damaged screen mesh.
Solution: Adjust the humidity of the raw materials to a suitable level, optimize the disc speed of the disc granulator, clean or replace the screen mesh.
Poor particle shape:
Reason: Uneven particle size of raw materials, too fast or too slow disc rotation speed, improper amount of adhesive used.
Solution: Optimize the particle size distribution of raw materials, adjust the disc speed to a suitable level, and adjust the amount of adhesive used.
Low production:
Reason: Insufficient feeding of raw materials, low disc speed, and small mesh size.
Solution: Increase the feeding amount of raw materials, increase the disc speed, and replace the appropriate screen mesh.
Equipment blockage:
Reason: The humidity of the raw materials is too high, the viscosity of the raw materials is too high, and the mesh size is not suitable.
Solution: Reduce the humidity of raw materials, adjust the amount of adhesive used, and replace the appropriate screen mesh.
Equipment wear and tear:
Reason: Long term high load operation, high hardness of raw materials, and improper maintenance.
Solution: Regularly shut down for rest, choose components made of wear-resistant materials, and strengthen daily maintenance.
High temperature:
Reason: Long term continuous operation, cooling system failure, high ambient temperature.
Solution: Regularly shut down for rest, inspect and repair the cooling system, and improve the working environment.
Excessive energy consumption:
Reason: Low equipment efficiency, improper operation, and untimely maintenance.
Solution: Optimize the operation process, regularly maintain the disc granulator, and choose high-efficiency and energy-saving equipment.
Excessive noise:
Reason: Equipment aging, loose components, improper maintenance, etc.
Solution: Regularly inspect fasteners, replace worn parts, and strengthen equipment maintenance.
Excessive dust:
Reasons: Raw material drying, screening process, poor equipment sealing, etc.
Solution: Increase raw material humidity, optimize screening system, and improve equipment sealing performance.
Complex operation:
Reason: Insufficient proficiency in equipment operation, lack of effective training, etc.
Solution: Provide sufficient training and guidance to ensure that operators are familiar with equipment operation and maintenance.
By analyzing and solving these common problems, the efficiency and product quality of the disc granulator can be effectively improved, while extending the service life of the equipment.
