How to refuel a pulverizer?


I. Brief introduction

Universal pulverizer is a common industrial equipment, applicable to a wide range of high crushing efficiency and is widely used in chemical, food, pharmaceutical, agricultural and other fields. The working principle is through the activities of the tooth plate and fixed tooth plate high-speed relative motion, so that the material to be crushed in the tooth plate impact, shear, friction and the impact of the material between each other under the combined effect of crushing. Fine-grained materials through the sieve plate from the bottom of the discharge, the coarse powder in the machine continue to smash until the required particle size.

Maintenance of the pulverizeris to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment and the key to production efficiency. Maintenance of the pulverizer need to pay attention to the main points: regular cleaning, inspection of wear parts, lubrication and maintenance, cooling system, electrical inspection, adjustment and calibration, operating specifications, records and maintenance logs, safety inspections, regular maintenance measures can maximize the service life of the pulverizer, reduce the failure rate, to ensure production efficiency and product quality.

 

II. Understanding the pulverizer and its fuel requirements

Add lubricating oil to the universal pulverizer is an important step in the maintenance of equipment, when adding lubricants, to avoid oil contamination, do not mix different types of oil.

- Make sure you use the correct lubricant, different parts may require different types of lubricants.

- Take care during operation to avoid splashing lubricant on skin or clothing.

- Check the quality of the lubricant regularly. If the oil is found to be black or sticky, it should be replaced promptly.

 

III. Fueling process

1. Prepare tools and materials:

   - Lubricant (type and specification according to manufacturer's recommendation)

   - Oil gun or jug

   - Oil cup, oil marker or dipstick (for checking oil level)

   - Towel or blotting paper (for cleaning)

   - Gloves (to protect hands)

 

2. Stopping operation:

   - Before adding lubricant, make sure the pulverizer has completely stopped operation and disconnect the power supply to ensure safety.

 

3. Locate the lubrication point:

   - According to the maintenance manual of the pulverizer, locate the lubrication points where lubrication oil needs to be added, this usually includes bearings, gearboxes, etc.

4. Check the oil level:

   - Use a dipstick or oil marker to check the current oil level to determine if lubricant needs to be added.

   - If the oil level is below the lowest mark, lubrication is required.

5. Drain the old oil:

   - If you are replacing the lubricant, you will first need to drain the old oil. Open the drain screw to allow the old oil to flow out and catch it in a container.

   - Clean the drain and tank to make sure there are no contaminants.

6. Add new oil:

   - Using an oil gun or jug, slowly add new oil to the lubrication point or tank.

   - Be careful not to overfill and the oil level should be between the highest and lowest marks.

7. Check the oil level:

   - After adding, check the oil level again to make sure it is within the proper range.

8. Clean and organize:

   - Use a towel or absorbent paper to clean up any oil spills.

   - Return all tools and materials to their proper place and make sure the work area is clean.

9. Record maintenance:

   - Record the time, type and amount of oil added in the maintenance log to keep track of lubrication.

 

IV. Safety protocols and precautions

Safety protocol:

1. Power down and lock out power.

2. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

3. Ensure good ventilation.

4. Clean refueling areas. 5.

5. Use the correct type of lubricant.

6. Check and record after refueling.

 

Preventive measures:

1. prevent oil contamination and spills.

2. Avoid sources of sparks and high temperatures to prevent fire.

3. Clean up spilled oil to prevent slipping.

4. Prepare emergency equipment.

5. Dispose of waste oil properly.

 

V.  Maintenance and Efficiency Considerations

- Regular oiling as part of a maintenance program ensures that the lubrication system is always effective.

- Combine this with regular inspections and cleaning to monitor oil quality and equipment wear.

Benefits of refueling:

- Regular oiling reduces friction and prevents parts from overheating, thus reducing downtime.

- Maintaining good lubrication reduces wear and prolongs the life of the pulverizer.

- Role of fuel quality:

  - High-quality lubricant improves machine efficiency and reduces energy consumption.

  - Keeping the oil clean prevents contamination and extends the life of the equipment.

 

VI. Troubleshooting common oiling problems

Identifying and solving pulverizer oil shortage and oil leak problems can be done by following these steps:

Identify the problem - lack of oil:

- Lack of oil: universal pulverizer in the operation of the abnormal sound of metal impact, bearing temperature rises, or the equipment does not run smoothly.

- Oil Leakage: Oil stains are observed around the pulverizer, or oil drips while the equipment is running.

 

Solution:

 

- Lack of oil:

  1. Stop the equipment from running and cool it down.

  2. Check the oil level gauge or oil marker to make sure the oil level is not below normal.

  3. Add the proper amount of lubricant to the recommended level. 4.

  4. Start the equipment and observe if there is still a lack of oil to make sure the problem is solved.

 

- Oil leaks:

  1. Stop the equipment from running and cool it down.

  2. Check oil seals, gaskets and connections for damage or looseness.

  3. If damage is found, replace with new seals or tighten loose connections.

  4. Clean up area of oil leak to prevent slipping and contamination.

  5. Start the unit and observe if oil leakage persists.

 

Seek professional service:

 

- If the problem is still not solved after self-inspection and initial treatment, you can contact professional service personnel for further diagnosis and repair.

- Avoid disassembling the equipment by yourself when you are not sure how to operate it safely or lack of proper tools and accessories, you can contact us directly: whatsapp:+8618717883822 or email:    [email protected].  [email protected] 

 

VII. Conclusion

Correct oiling is vital to the operational efficiency and safety of the universal pulverizer. Proper oil level ensures that the equipment is well lubricated, reduces wear and tear, extends service life, and prevents malfunctions. Regular testing and checking the oil level, as well as timely maintenance, are key measures to ensure efficient and stable operation of the equipment. Keeping the pulverizer in good condition not only improves efficiency, but also ensures safe operation and avoids accidents. Therefore, it is encouraged to follow a maintenance program to ensure that the pulverizer is always in the best working condition.
