Proper Usage of Extrusion Equipment

Puffed Equipment Usage Method

⑴ The housing bearings should be timely lubricated with grease; after 500 hours of operation, the lubricant should be fully replaced. (For new machines, it is advisable to apply grease before operation, and the oil should be changed after 200 hours of operation.)

Other bearing parts require regular lubrication with grease.

③ No hard objects should be used to hammer down bolts and nuts, etc., during disassembly and assembly processes. It is also prohibited to place heavy objects or stand on the expansion chamber.

Puffed materials should be sorted carefully to prevent foreign objects like metal from entering the machine and damaging the components.

Keep an eye on the quality of the expansion equipment and be mindful of replacing wear parts.

Maintain cleaning around the equipment.

When the extruder is not in use for an extended period or when replacing the expanded material, the material inside the extrusion chamber should be thoroughly scraped clean to prevent caking, mold growth, or cross-contamination between materials.

Due to the relatively faster wear of the wear parts near the discharge outlet, the wear parts near the feed inlet end wear less. Therefore, when replacing wear parts, it is advisable to start from the discharge end and replace them sequentially, rather than replacing multiple components at once.
