To clean extruder

  DATE:2016/06/24
If extruder machine downtime than eight hours, we have to clean the entire system .including the feed silos, feed auger, conditioner and host of the extruder machine.
When you clean feed hopper and feed auger, firstly you need to clear out inside the material. You had better use air compressor to clean. Contraindicated broom, brush tools like clean up, because these tools itself with fibers and debris, and these fibers and debris in the cleanup process is very easy to fall, but to bring more debris.
When you clean the conditioner , we need to look at the situation on the barrel and paddle residual material, if the material is dry, you need to put these materials together using a spatula to clean and use compressed air to clean these materials; If the material is relatively wet water , put some of the material conditioner tube opposite the upper surface of the body dry scraped off, and these materials can be clean out the conditioner.
As a single-screw extruder, a twin-screw extruder that no self-cleaning function. After each stop, there must be a small amount of material remained in the corner. These materials are reduced over time with moisture, the material dries, hardens, when producing again, if such material before directly reach the small aperture template, even if it is a little clogged pores can be formed mold.
Single-screw extruder host first steam cleaning wash directly into the cavity of the screw extrusion, the screw does not need to run this time, time generally require 20 to 30 minutes. Such residual materials obtained puffed cavity soften, and then start the main motor, and to have enough water into the expanded cavity, the use of water to flush out the softened material puffing chamber, the chamber until puffed and no clear exit erosion pellets material so far.
