How to Do Granulator Maintenance for Beginner

 How to Do Granulator Maintenance for Beginner? Granulators are used for fine shredder a.k.a secondary shredding. It is important to size reduce materials to a smaller size like 5-20mm. Maintenance Today, Wiscon will briefly describe how to maintain a granulator for beginner and how to service a granulator.

Locations

Granulator should be installed in a well-ventilated position to ensure that the heat dissipation of motor and gear reducer.

Lubrication

Regularly fill bearings with lubricant to ensure the lubricity between bearings. Once the transmission oil is not clear or use over 3 months, we suggest changing oil.

Drive Belts

Regularly check whether the belt of the shredder is slack and tighten it in time. Tighten them in the first 24 hours of use.

Blades

Check the fastening screws of blades regularly. after 1 hour of using the new granulator, tighten the screws of the rotary knife and fixed knife to retain the blade and the knife frame.
In order to ensure that the sharpness of the blade, should always inspect its sharpness. A blunt blade causes lots of powder and decreases performance and wastes power.
When replacing the tool, the gap between rotary knife and the fixed knife is 0.5-1.5mm. Always use a filler gauge to test.

The thinner the recycled material like plastic film, the smaller the gap can be appropriately adjusted. This section is the most essential part of how to maintain a granulator.

Electrical

The machine should be well-grounded.

Make sure all cables and connectors are tightly connected.

Make sure all safety switches and emergency stops are in order.

Starting

Before starting, the residue in the crushing chamber should be removed to reduce the starting resistance. The inertia cover and belt pulley cover should be opened regularly to clear the ash outlet under the flange, as the powder discharged from the shredder chamber enters the shaft bearing.

Conclusion

The Composition of Plastic Waste – Latest Analysis Year 2020

Image
  What source of the industry creates most of the plastic waste? There is a huge increase in plastic consumption in our daily lives. Plastic waste can be divided into commercial and industrial wastes. Many of these plastic products are single-used. That is, they are thrown away after one-time usage. For example, disposable plastic packaging, food container, cup, tablecloth and hand gloves are the regular items. The Composition of Plastic Waste: Pre-use and Post-use Plastic Other types of plastic waste include pre-use and post-use plastic. Pre-use plastic is mainly rejected products that do not meet the criteria in terms of size, colour, hardness and other properties. This also includes the byproducts like flesh and sprue during the process of plastic product manufacturing (e.g. molding, blow molding, thermal forming). Post-use plastics include plastic bottles, pails, casing; rigid plastics such as pipes and moldings, plastic foams or expanded polystyrene; and flexible plastics such as

What is ocean plastic pollution?

  Where does the plastic pollution in the ocean come from? What is ocean plastic pollution? Marine pollution is a combination of solid waste and chemicals that originate from the land. With the help of rainwater and wind, the pollutant is driven into the ocean. 3% of the worldwide plastic waste goes to the ocean according to the study. As more than 80% of the global plastic waste is not recycled, it is not surprising that abundant waste is accumulating in the ocean. In 2010, this was about 8 million tonnes. Before we dive into the question of where does ocean plastic waste comes from, we need to know about mismanaged plastics in the globe. The definition of mismanaged plastics is plastic waste that does not properly collect and recycle, instead, it ends up in landfills and scrap yard and directly pours into the river, lake and ocean. The graph shows more than half of the mismanaged stems from East Asia and the Pacific. The rest of the regions account for 40%. North America scores the l

3 Differences between One and Two Shaft Shredder

Image
  When choosing an industrial shredder, the first question lots of the customers ask is what is the difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder. One may not see the difference except their outlook, but they are very different in 3 points. In this article, we explain the differences between One shaft shredder and Two Shaft Shredder. Machine Structure Single Shaft Shredder is equipped with only one shaft welded with rotary blades. The rotor a hydraulic-actuated pusher arm. and a screen underneath the rotating shaft. Double Shaft Shredder is built with two shafts of blades, which we also call dual shearing shafts. Its rotor consists of multiple disks of blades. The 2 rotors counter-rorate. There is no hydraulic-driven pusher or screen on this machine. Single Shaft Shredder Rotor Application Single Shaft Shredder  is suitable to process thick and solid materials such as molding purgings, runners, sprues, plastic pallets, rubber rolls, wood lumbers, tree branches, bon
