Daily Maintenance Tips Of Briquette Machine

 

Everyone knows that biomass briquette machines are used to briquette the biomass materials into round, square, rod, cylindrical, oval type, etc without any binders by high temperature and high pressure. If you use it then it is your responsibility to keep maintenance of the briquette machine. Its cleaning and maintenance should be not only from outside but from inside too. Before that, you need to know about some procedures for the maintenance of the briquette machine. Here I will briefly introduce them and wish they are supportive to you.

 

Anti-rust procedures

Maybe, the working condition of the briquette machine is not very fine. The water and snow may perhaps break into the machine and its consequence has been damaged. Therefore, you can take some action. Such as, you can use the acid to do a chemical reaction with the rust. In this manner will remove the corrosion products of the surface of the briquette machine. It always functions in the workshop. On the briquette machine’s surface, you can paint anti-oxidation material such as mineral oil, paint, and enamel to prevent rust. These materials will prevent the machine contact with the water and air.

 

Wearing parts maintenance according to diverse seasons

When seasons are different, the maintenance procedures also will be unlike. You need to follow dissimilar procedures to maintenance parts. You should increase the lubrication time to avoid propeller heating because the spring and autumn belong to the dry climate. To protect different spare parts, you should choose different lubricating oils. For good machine performance, you need to apply oil on the different parts of the machine after every 2 months. You should prepare for moisture-proof work, reduce quick-wear part rust for winter and summer seasons, the winter weather is snowy and cold and summer weather is rainy. Must have complete cold-proof and freeze proof work.

 

Condition shows the machine meet the end of life

If the briquette machine is working for a long time, obviously it may have many damages. And we think it will be scraped but we need to repair the briquette making machine and need to update the device. There is a groove and black spot or its inner circular surface wear on the surface of the hollow shaft, consequently the hollow shaft will be variant and flaw. The briquette machine’s gear edge deformation should not be greater than 7.5 mm. Bearing wear is larger than 1/3 of its thickness. These are some updates that you should do; maintenance of the briquette machine needs these repairs after working for a long time.

 

Final words

These all are maintenance tips of the briquette machine. You should follow them and must have done extra efforts such that, do tight screws of the machine. When briquetting machine manufacturers are making machines, their focus is always on the parts of the machines.

All About Main Parts Of Rotary Drum Dryer

 A rotary drum dryer is used to dry the moisture up to 50% from raw material. You can use that dried material as biomass, for heat production, building biomass pellets and biomass briquettes, or for other purposes.

In that, with the help of an in-feed screw conveyor, the soaked raw material supplied into the drum dryer. After that, the raw material gets in direct contact with heat generated in the rotating drum. Then from raw material, moisture gets evaporated and further sucked by the Id fan. Finally, from the discharge screw conveyor, the dried material gets discharged. It is a huge machine but you need to know about its components. Here are some essential parts of the rotary drum dryer that you should be known:

 

Combustion chamber

 

The combustion reaction directs the airflow of the rotary dryer. The combustion chamber can be changed into either airflow in direction of material flow or airflow in the opposite direction of material flow. Its goal is that it should be in direct contact with material with the burner flame.

 

Burner

 

The burner is the engine at the back of the dryer that finds out the output of watts. You should choose a suitable burner specification that is important for proper and efficient drying of the material. Burners can be designed for a huge amount of fuel sources.

 

Air seal

 

Its main purpose is to stop air leakage into or out of the rotary drum. But it is needed to connect the stationary components to the rotating drum when the combustion chamber and discharge breeching meets in the drum. Many different options of seal exist that depend on the needs of the material.

 

Raw material feed

 

The raw material feed area or we can say the feed chute. In that, the material is fed into the machine usually by a feed screw. The raw material feed area is particularly designed to be strong and to reduce material build-up.

 

Drive assembly

 

The drive assembly is the means that originates the drum to rotate. There are many options available such that a chain and sprocket, gear and pinion, friction drive, or direct drive setup. A chain and sprocket setup is a model for smaller rotary drums. The gear and pinion drive are reserved for heavy applications. Friction drive assemblies are typically used for very small drums.

 

Final words

All these are essential components of a rotary drum dryer that are crucial for the machine. If you want to know more about rotary dr then you can ask us in the comment section and we will surely answer your queries.

Learn More About Briquette Machine

Briquette machines are one of the ultimate solutions for anyone looking to dispose of their wood waste and convert them into biomass fuel. These machines allow a person to convert their agricultural and farm wastes into a useful energy resource and earn money with it. Biomass briquettes are better burning material as compared to traditional fuels like wood, coal, charcoal as these have a high calorific value and eco-friendly burning option. This blog will discuss the types, manufacturing process, and advantages of briquettes.

 

Types of Briquette Machine

Screw type 

The overall purpose of the whole briquette process is to convert raw materials like wood, agricultural, farm, and forest waste into smaller and compressed briquettes. With a screw-type briquette machine, raw material gets converted into smaller briquettes with a hollow center. One of the biggest benefits of hollow briquettes is that it ensures complete burning of the briquette as air is in a larger contact that facilitates burning. The lignin helps in keeping the briquette together and binding the particle together to form a high-density briquette.

 

Stamping type

This is not that common as compared to the earlier one as briquettes formed are of a specific size which is not that commonly used. Like any other briquette machine, this also converts the raw materials like farm and agricultural waste into smaller and compact pieces that can be used as burning fuel. The finely crushed pieces are compressed with a stamping or punching process and smaller compressed briquettes are formed.

 

Manufacturing process- 

• Raw material - common raw materials like sawdust, wood chips, agricultural and farm wastes are fed into the machines like the chipper shredder or briquette. These machines crush these raw materials into smaller pieces that are then compressed in the briquetting chamber. 
• Moisture content - Briquettes with higher moisture content are not ideal fuel for burning. These are dried up using machines like a rotary drum dryer and moisture content is reduced up to 5-7%. Only briquettes with moisture content in this range are considered ideal for burning.
• The end product - the finely crushed raw material is converted passed to the briquetting chamber. In the briquetting chamber, the raw material is heated and compressed. These compressed particles are then converted into different shapes and sizes depending on the machine size and requirement.
• The end pieces of briquettes are packed and ready for transportation.

 

Advantages

 

High-quality fuel

There is no doubt that these wood briquettes are an efficient and eco-friendly source of heat. This is one of the biggest advantages that makes them an ideal burning fuel for commercial boilers and other industries where heat energy is required. It is an environment-friendly energy resource, unlike raw wood, coal, Kerosene, and charcoal.

Small sizes

The small and compact size of the briquette makes them an ideal fit for workshop and furniture shops. The smaller size also gives an advantage of saving storage space.

Different sizes

One of the biggest advantages of the briquette machine is the end product's size and shape can be changed by changing the mechanism as per requirement. These machines can be used to process the different types of raw material and convert it into an efficient burning fuel source.

High demand

As the industries are looking for a cleaner-burning source these briquettes become an ideal source of producing heat energy. These can be used at home or at industries and hence are in high demand looking at its huge advantages. Regular shape and easy transport are some of the major benefits of these biomass energy solutions.

General Issues Faced In Operating Briquette Machine

 

The briquette machine is also known as a briquetting machine used to squeeze the hard material. It has the benefits of high molding pressure, flexible rotational cycle, and a screw conveyor. It can be divided into several types of briquette machines according to the materials, such as charcoal briquette machine, coal briquette machine, powder briquette-machine,gypsum briquette-machine,rotary dryer,etc.It can also be classified into different briquette machine types according to their functions, such as ordinary briquette machine, hydraulic briquette machine, strong hydraulic briquette machine, etc. The briquette machine is essential for the whole briquette production line. Therefore, what obstacles will be occurred in the operation method?

 

Here are some of the common problems that will be occurred in the operation process and how to solve these problems to improve the work efficiency and capacity of the briquetting-machine. 

 

Machine is Noisy 

 

Under this condition, the water content temperature in the raw material is out of the normal range. The dryer's corresponding solution is drying material to ensure that the materials are kept at the proper temperature and humidity. 

 

Another reason is that there are damages with the briquette machine parts, such as the screw conveyor is worn seriously. When it happens, the parts of the briquette machine should be replaced immediately.

 

 

 Restarts Repeatedly 

 

Repeat restart of the briquette machine is generally caused by the low power supply, which cannot drive the briquette to work finely.To solve this problem, it better suits the remedy to the case. 

 

First, the power supply voltage of the briquette machine is detected by meter. It’d better detect under the condition that the briquette machine is loaded so that there is any power supply issue. 

 

Oil pressure is insufficient.  

There is inadequate oil pressure during the working method of the briquette machine.The reason causing such a problem may be the blockage of the oil suction or the joint gasket deformation. 

 

If the oil suction is blocked, it should be cleaned and washed immediately to ensure the cleanness of the briquette machine equipment; if the joint deformed should be replaced the deformed gasket with a new one the briquette machine can work normally and efficiently. 

 

Water-resistance

 

During the installation process of the briquette machine. Several users adopt the suspension in the installation method, but there is still a gap between the briquette machine and the bracket hinge machine. It is raining or snowing, and the water may penetrate the briquette machine to cause damage. So that waterproofing measures should be adopted during the installation process. 

 

The above mentioned are the issues while operating a briquetting-machine, and it is also faced in a chipper grinder.
