Judging whether the pellet machine is lubricated by the equipment's running resistance and energy consumption

Insufficient lubrication increases frictional resistance in the pellet mill's moving parts, leading to increased load, higher motor current, and increased energy consumption. Therefore, observing changes in operating resistance and energy consumption can also be used to determine whether lubrication is adequate.

 

 

This procedure involves two steps: First, observe the motor current. During normal operation, the pellet mill motor current is stable at 60-80% of the rated current (e.g., a 15kW motor with a rated current of 30A has a normal operating current of 18-24A). If lubrication is insufficient, frictional resistance increases, requiring the motor to output greater power to overcome the resistance. The current can rise to over 90% of the rated current (e.g., exceeding 27A), with large fluctuations (over ±5A) and irregular jitter. Second, feel the operating resistance of the equipment. After shutting down the machine, manually rotate the roller or main shaft. Under normal lubrication, the roller rotates smoothly without noticeable jerking. If lubrication is insufficient, manual rotation will experience significantly increased resistance, even causing "stuckness," requiring considerable force to rotate. Compare energy consumption per unit of output: Under normal circumstances, producing 1 ton of pellet feed consumes approximately 5-8 kWh of electricity. If lubrication is insufficient, this energy consumption can rise to over 10 kWh, and output can decrease (e.g., from 1 ton per hour to less than 0.8 tons), creating an abnormal "high energy consumption, low output" situation.

 

 

If you notice abnormally high motor current, high manual rotation resistance, or increased energy consumption, you should immediately stop the machine and inspect the lubrication to avoid prolonged high-load operation that could lead to motor overload burnout or severe component wear, resulting in greater economic losses.
