As core equipment in a organic fertilizer production line, a rotary drum granulator requires routine maintenance to extend its lifespan and ensure stable production. First, regularly inspect the transmission mechanism to ensure the proper operation of the motor and reducer. Lubricate the transmission components promptly to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear due to insufficient lubrication.

Maintenance of the support mechanism is also crucial. Regularly inspect the wear of the rolling and sliding bearings and replace any problems promptly to prevent bearing failures from impacting overall equipment operation. Keep the spray system clean and regularly clean the nozzles to prevent clogging that could affect humidity control accuracy, thereby ensuring pellet quality.

Furthermore, after each production run, clean the drum walls of the drum to prevent material agglomeration that could affect the next run. Regularly calibrate the equipment control system to ensure accurate monitoring and adjustment of parameters such as speed, humidity, and temperature. Proper routine maintenance ensures long-term stable operation of the rotary drum granulator, creating greater value for your business.
