The gear box of twin-screw extruder is an important part of the equipment, which is mainly used to realize the rotation and transmission functions of the equipment. The following are the general steps and precautions for using the twin screw extruder gearbox:
1. Install the gear box: First, install the gear box on the main machine of the twin screw extruder. Ensure that the connection between the gear box and the main engine is stable and the axis is consistent.
2. Add lubricating oil: Before use, it is necessary to add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the gearbox. The type and amount of lubricating oil used should be selected according to the equipment specifications and manufacturer’s requirements.
3. Open the gear box: open the operating switch of the gear box to make the gear box start running. Ensure that the gearbox rotates smoothly without abnormal noise or vibration.
4. Adjust the transmission ratio: adjust the transmission ratio of the gear box according to the production needs. This can be done by adjusting the transmission gear or chain in the gearbox.
5. Operation and maintenance: When using the twin screw extruder gearbox, the following points should be noted:
① Pay attention to the working temperature of the gear box to avoid the influence of too high temperature on the equipment and lubricating oil.
② Check the lubricating oil status of the gear box regularly, and replace or supplement it as needed.
③ Carry out regular maintenance on the gear box, including cleaning, tightening bolts, etc.
④ After the equipment is shut down, close the gear box in time, and carry out necessary cleaning and maintenance.
Through proper use and maintenance of the twin screw extruder gearbox, the normal operation of the equipment can be ensured and the service life can be extended. Timely maintenance and maintenance can reduce equipment failure rates and downtime, improve production efficiency and product quality.
To sum up, the use of the twin screw extruder gearbox includes installing the gearbox, adding lubricating oil, opening the gearbox, adjusting the transmission ratio, paying attention to operation and maintenance steps. Through correct operation and maintenance, the normal operation of the gear box can be guaranteed, and the working efficiency and life of the equipment can be improved.
