Tips for using the fish feed extruder in high-temperature environments (above 35℃): Construct a sunshade to prevent the equipment from being exposed to direct sunlight and to prevent excessive barrel temperature from causing feed carbonization; shorten continuous operating time, stopping the machine for 30 minutes every 2 hours to allow it to cool down; improve diesel engine cooling by cleaning dust from the radiator surface to ensure good heat dissipation; store raw materials in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture evaporation and excessive dryness, and appropriately increase the water spray during production to maintain a moisture content of 15%-17%. Operators should also take precautions against heatstroke and avoid prolonged work in high-temperature environments.
Tips for using the fish feed extruder in rainy environments: Construct a rain shelter to ensure the fish feed pellet extruder and raw materials are not wetted by rain. The rain shelter should be at least 2.5 meters high and ensure good ventilation; install a rain cover on the feed inlet to prevent rainwater from entering the machine; when stacking raw materials, elevate them at least 30cm and cover them with a rainproof cloth to prevent moisture absorption and clumping; after production, wipe the equipment surface dry with a dry cloth and apply rust-preventive oil to the transmission parts to prevent rusting. In case of heavy rain, immediately shut down the machine and disconnect the power. Move the equipment indoors or reinforce it with rainproof measures to prevent water ingress.
Usage tips for low-temperature environments (below 0℃): Use the corresponding grade of diesel fuel. Use -10 diesel fuel for -5℃ to 0℃, and -20 diesel fuel for -15℃ to -5℃ to prevent the diesel fuel from solidifying. Preheat the diesel engine before starting; you can add hot water or use starting fluid (follow the instruction manual). Do not attempt to start the machine by pressing the accelerator pedal without power. Run the equipment idle for 5-10 minutes before operation to allow the engine oil to fully lubricate and reduce wear on components at low temperatures. Prevent raw materials from freezing and clumping. If raw materials are frozen, thaw and crush them before use. After production, drain the remaining diesel fuel from the tank to prevent solidification and blockage of the fuel lines. Refill with the corresponding grade of diesel fuel before the next use.
Tips for use in remote outdoor environments: Carry spare diesel and engine oil, and store enough for 3 days of extruder machine fish feed consumption; carry simple maintenance tools and easily damaged parts (such as belts and filter elements) to deal with sudden failures; if electricity is inconvenient, choose a manual feeding model to ensure that production is not limited by electricity; clean the equipment's air filter regularly to avoid insufficient air intake caused by excessive dust.
