Up till now, TICO flat die pellet machines have occupied great reputation from our old customers. But there are also some customers reflect that the lifespan of our small pellet machines is not the same as the imagine. We have also considered this situation, why this would be happen? Why the flat die and rollers are easy to be worn?
Perhaps the reason is that when operating our small pellet machines, some customers didn’t pay attention to the maintenance of flat die and roller, result in the short lifespan of flat dies and rollers. Here I want to introduce some matters need attention about maintaining flat dies and rollers to avoid the situation that use the small pellet machines with a short lifetime.
- Usually depositing the flat dies and rollers on the place where is ventilated and dry. Otherwise, if you store the flat die and roller on wet place, it will corrode the flat dies and rollers. What’s more, there are some raw materials on the surface of the flat dies will absorb and hold the moisture, which can quicken the speed of corrosion process and reduce the life of flat dies so that the production efficiency will be lower.
- It must be serious to store the flat dies and rollers, not give up halfway. We choose high speed gun-drill to process the holes of flat dies with high brightness. It’s necessary to keep clean and light of the holes to guarantee the high output. We fill in the holes of flat dies with oily anti-corrosion mixture to prevent from rusting or corrosion.
- When store the flat dies and rollers for half a year, the oil plants in the flat dies must be changed timely, long time storage will harden it and that will be hard to get rid of, which is bad for the usage of the flat die.
- If you should discharge the flat dies and rollers during the working process, the pellets must be cleaned up. If there are residual pellets between flat dies and rollers, will accelerate the corrosion.
- All above matters about maintenance of flat dies and rollers are important, hope every customer can pay more attention to them, not only to keep the normal operation and long life of pellet machines, but also guarantee the production efficiency.
TICO flat dies and rollers maintenance
Flat dies and rollers are quick-wear spare parts of the small flat die pellet machines, in order to prolong the lifespan, we must pay special attention to the maintenance of them.
Flat dies check-out and maintenance
Before operating flat die pellet machines, we must check out the flat dies, to make sure there are no foreign matters and there is no loose parts of the relative equipments. TICO flat dies can be used up to 300-500 hours under the normal situation. You can change the other side to continuously use when one side worn out. (Several flat dies only has one side for using.)
Rollers check-out and maintenance
Make sure there is no foreign matter to hinder the free running of the rollers before operating the pellet machines. The same to flat dies, lifetime of TICO rollers may reach 300-500 hours if you use it correctly. And if there is something wrong with it, it will be better to change the flat dies and rollers together.
