What problems might you encounter when using the Fish Feed Twin Screw Type Extruder?

The complexity of equipment operation is reflected in multiple aspects. The control system of a twin-screw floating fish feed extruder involves the coordinated adjustment of multiple parameters such as temperature, pressure, speed, and feed rate. These parameters vary significantly depending on the feed formulation (e.g., grass carp feed, bass feed, shrimp feed). Taking the processing of floating bass feed and sinking grass carp feed as examples, not only do the temperatures of different sections of the barrel need adjustment, but the screw speed and feed rate also need precise matching, which is difficult to master based on experience alone. During equipment operation, it is also necessary to monitor various data on the touch screen in real time, promptly identify and handle faults such as "abnormal temperature" and "excessive pressure." Improper operation may lead to a decline in feed quality or even equipment damage. In contrast, single-screw extruders are simple to operate, require fewer parameter adjustments, and can be trained by ordinary workers in 1-2 days.

 

The shortage of professional operators is becoming increasingly prominent. Currently, there is a severe shortage of personnel in the market who possess both knowledge of feed formulation and familiarity with twin-screw extruder operation. Such personnel need to master feed nutrition knowledge, understand the processing characteristics of different raw materials, be proficient in operating PLC control systems, be able to adjust equipment parameters according to feed quality, and also possess basic equipment maintenance capabilities. If companies want to cultivate such talent, they need to invest significant time and money in organizing professional training for employees, with training periods lasting 3-6 months. Recruiting externally not only involves high salary demands but also presents recruitment challenges.

 

Talent shortages directly lead to low equipment operating efficiency. Many companies, lacking specialized personnel, can only have ordinary workers operate the equipment in a basic manner, unable to accurately adjust parameters according to raw material characteristics and product requirements. This results in a 10%-15% drop in feed qualification rates and significant raw material waste. Some companies experience minor problems escalating into major malfunctions due to operators' inability to diagnose early equipment failures, leading to prolonged downtime and monthly losses exceeding ten thousand yuan. One feed mill, for example, suffered a 20,000 yuan repair cost and a 60-ton capacity loss due to a three-day downtime caused by an operator misjudging an abnormal pressure.

 

The professional skills of frontline maintenance personnel also need improvement. While modular maintenance of twin-screw floating fish feed extruder machines is convenient, it requires maintenance personnel to be familiar with the equipment structure, master the disassembly and installation techniques of components such as the screw and mold, and understand the working principles of the lubrication and cooling systems. Currently, most maintenance personnel are skilled in maintaining single-screw equipment but lack knowledge of maintaining twin-screw equipment, resulting in inadequate equipment maintenance, shortened lifespan of vulnerable parts, and increased equipment failure rate.
