Fault 1: Screw jamming, leading to broken pellets and uneven quality
Insufficient routine maintenance (such as failure to promptly clean residual material and failure to regularly lubricate the screw) can cause mold and clumping of material in the extrusion chamber, leading to screw jamming. When the screw jams, the equipment is forced to stop. After cleaning the fault and restarting, the parameters (temperature, pressure) of the sinking fish feed extruder machine cannot quickly return to stability, resulting in broken, deformed, and unevenly sized pellets in the initial production after restarting, significantly reducing the quality pass rate. Simultaneously, screw jamming also exacerbates wear on the screw and barrel, causing continuous fluctuations in pellet quality in subsequent production, making it difficult to return to normal.
Fault 2: Lubrication system failure, causing equipment vibration and loose pellets
Insufficient routine maintenance of the lubrication system (gearbox, bearings) of the sinking fish feed making machine (such as failure to regularly change lubricating oil and failure to clean lubrication pipes) can lead to lubrication failure, increased resistance in the screw and bearing operation, and severe equipment vibration. Vibration affects the extrusion and maturation of materials, leading to a loose internal structure and uneven density in the particles, resulting in poor buoyancy and insufficient water resistance. Simultaneously, vibration can cause die head misalignment, increasing particle size deviation, and even causing some particles to become hollow or broken. Furthermore, lubrication failure shortens the extruder's lifespan and increases equipment replacement costs.
Fault Prevention: Routine Maintenance to Avoid Quality Risks at the Source
Fault Prevention Plan: After daily production, allow the floating fish food production machine to idle for 2-3 minutes to remove residual material and clean the screw and barrel; check the lubrication system weekly, replenish lubricating oil, and clean lubrication pipes to ensure adequate lubrication; conduct a comprehensive monthly inspection of the extruder's core components (screw, die head, sensors), promptly repairing minor faults to prevent escalation; establish a fault log, recording the causes and solutions for faults, summarizing maintenance experience, and continuously optimizing the maintenance plan. Through scientific routine maintenance, over 80% of extruder faults can be reduced, avoiding the impact of fault linkage on particle quality and stabilizing production efficiency and product quality.
