Applications of Plastic Granule Mixer

Plastic Processing Industry

Plastic Granule Mixer is an important equipment in the plastic processing industry, which is used to mix different types of plastic granules, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, to produce plastic granules with stable performance and reliable quality. In the field of injection molding, it can ensure the consistent performance of each part of the plastic product and avoid color difference and uneven strength. In extrusion molding, whether it is the production of plastic pipes, plates or profiles, it is necessary to evenly mix plastic raw materials with different characteristics to meet product quality and performance requirements.

plastic recycling and Reuse Industry

Plastic Granule Mixer plays a key role in the field of plastic recycling. It can mix recycled plastic flakes, fragments and powders with new plastic granules to achieve material reuse. For example, after recycling discarded plastic bottles, plastic films, etc., they are washed and crushed into granules or powders, and then mixed with new plastic granules in proportion to produce new products with performance close to that of virgin plastics, improve resource utilization and reduce production costs.

Chemical Industry

In the chemical industry, plastic granule mixers are used to mix a variety of chemical raw materials and plastic granules to prepare composite materials with special properties. For example, when producing flame-retardant plastics, flame retardants are fully mixed with plastic granules to give the product excellent flame retardant properties. In addition, when producing modified plastics, engineering plastics and other products, by adding various additives and fillers and mixing them in a mixer, the performance of plastics can be improved to meet the application requirements of different chemical products.

Construction Industry

In the construction industry, plastic granule mixers are used to produce plastic doors and windows, plastic floors and other building materials. Mixing different additives with plastic granules can improve the weather resistance, wear resistance and other properties of the product to meet the strict requirements of the construction field for product quality. At the same time, when producing plastic pipes and fittings for construction, it is also necessary to evenly mix a variety of raw materials to ensure the reliability and durability of the product during construction and use.

Plastic Granule Mixer Maintenance:

Cleaning and maintenance

After each use, the mixer needs to be thoroughly cleaned inside and outside. Wipe the surface of the machine with a soft cloth to clean the residual material; remove the stirring paddle and feeding device to clean the attached material; for the mixing chamber, open the manhole cover and use a brush and wet cloth to remove the residue. Regularly deep clean, check and replace the seals to prevent leakage. Keeping the equipment clean can improve production efficiency and extend the life of the equipment.

Lubrication and tightening

Lubrication is the key, and each component needs to be lubricated regularly. For example, the spindle bearings are lubricated monthly to reduce friction and wear; gears and chains also need to be lubricated regularly to prevent excessive wear. In terms of tightening, regularly check the connecting bolts of motors, reducers and other components to ensure tightening; pay attention to vibration and abnormal noise during production, and tighten the fasteners in time. Good lubrication and tightening can ensure the stable operation of the equipment, improve production efficiency and mixing quality.

Electrical system inspection

Regularly check the electrical system to ensure safe and stable operation of the equipment. Check whether the wires and cables are damaged and aging, and repair or replace them in time if damage is found to prevent leakage and short circuit. Check whether the electrical connection is loose, ensure that the line connection is firm, and avoid poor contact. Test the control panel buttons and indicator lights to ensure normal function. Check the insulation resistance of the motor regularly to prevent the motor from burning out. Check the overload protection and leakage protection devices to ensure accurate operation. Check the temperature sensor and control system to ensure normal monitoring and control of the heating system temperature. A good electrical system inspection can timely discover and eliminate hidden dangers, extend the life of the equipment, and ensure smooth production.

Transmission component maintenance

Regularly check the transmission components of the mixer to ensure its normal operation. Check the belt tension. It is advisable to press the deformation with your fingers for about 5 mm. Otherwise, adjust the tensioner; regularly add grease to the bearing at least once a month, and check for wear and jamming, and replace it in time. Check the tightness of the transmission chain. Slight swing is advisable. Too loose or too tight will affect the operation of the equipment. At the same time, clean the oil and impurities on the surface of the chain and apply lubricating oil. Check the gearbox oil level and oil quality regularly to ensure that the gears are well meshed, without abnormal noise and vibration, and repair and replace them in time if problems are found. Proper maintenance of transmission components can improve the operating efficiency of the equipment, extend its service life, and ensure the mixing quality.

Develop a maintenance plan

Develop a detailed regular maintenance plan based on the frequency of equipment use and working environment. For equipment that is operated daily, develop a thorough monthly, quarterly, and annual maintenance plan, including cleaning, inspection, lubrication, replacement of wearing parts, etc. Arrange professionals to carry out the maintenance plan to avoid maintenance quality being affected by personnel changes. Keep records of maintenance to facilitate tracking of equipment health. Regularly evaluate the effectiveness of the plan and make adjustments as needed to ensure that the equipment is always in optimal operating condition.
