Can regular maintenance extend the lifespan of a fish feed pellet extruder?

First, clean the machine after each day's work. Turn off the power and let the fish food extruder cool to room temperature (to avoid burns). Then, clean the feed inlet, die head, and any remaining material inside the die: brush off surface material, use a special cleaning rod to unclog the die, and avoid using hard objects to pry it open to prevent damage. If the extruder screw can be removed, disassemble it weekly, clean off any residue with kerosene, let it dry, and then reinstall it. The pressure rollers of the feed pellet extruder also need cleaning; wipe off any sticky material and check for wear on the patterns. If the patterns have become shallow, polish them promptly. Also, be careful during cleaning; do not put your hands inside the equipment, and use tools instead.

 

Second, lubricate the equipment regularly. The rotating parts of the equipment (bearings, gears, screw) need lubrication, otherwise, they will wear out severely. For the bearings of the floating feed extruder machine, add 5-10ml of #3 lithium-based grease every 200 hours of operation; do not add too much. Check the engine oil in the gearbox every 3 months; add oil if the level is below the mark, and change the oil annually. For the pressure roller bearings of the feed pellet extruder, add lubricating oil every 100 hours. Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the lubrication points around the die holes before each start-up to reduce material adhesion. Choose the correct type of oil when adding oil; do not mix different types, as this will affect lubrication.

 

Finally, regularly inspect wear parts; do not wait until they break down to replace them. The screw and barrel of the floating fish feed extruder are wear parts; inspect them every 1000 hours of operation. If there are obvious scratches on the screw surface or wear on the inner wall of the barrel, replace them promptly, otherwise it will affect product quality. The molds and cutters of feed pellet extruders are prone to wear. After 500 hours of use, check the mold holes for deformation. After 300 hours of use, check the cutter blades for dullness. If they become dull, sharpen them; if they cannot be sharpened, replace them with new ones. In addition, keep some commonly used and easily worn parts on hand, such as bearings, seals, and cutters, so that they can be replaced promptly in case the equipment breaks down, reducing downtime.
