EPS Foam Pelletizing Machine’s 3 Common Problems and Solutions

EPS foam pelletizing machine

EPS foam pelletizing machine is an important equipment used to convert waste EPS foams into reusable pellets. However, in the process of using extruded foam plastic, you often encounter some common problems. In this article, we will introduce three common problems of extruded foam plastic and provide the corresponding solutions.

Uneven pellet quality

In the process of using EPS foam pelletizing machine, sometimes the particles are not uniform. That is, some particles are too large and some are too small, which affects the quality of the regenerated particles. The main reasons for uneven particles may include the following:

  • Unstable feed: The stability of the feed of the EPS foam pelletizing machine has a great influence on the size of the particles during the working process. If the feed is not stable, it will lead to uneven particle size.
  • Knife wear: Knife is one of the important factors affecting particle size. Knife wear will lead to a poor cutting effect, which will affect the uniformity of pellets.

Solutions

  • Ensure the stability of extruded foam plastic feeding, and avoid intermittent feeding or too fast feeding, which can be realized by adjusting the feeding system.
  • Regularly check the wear and tear of the knives of the foam plastic recycling granules extruder and replace the badly worn knives in time to keep the cutting effect good.

EPS foam pelletizing machine output decline

Another common problem is a drop in the output of extruded foam plastic, i.e. fewer pellets are produced in the same amount of working time. This can be due to the following reasons:

  • Improper feeding speed: Too fast or too slow feeding speed can affect the output of the foam plastic recycling granules extruder. Too fast may lead to clogging of the equipment, while too slow does not fully utilize the efficiency of the equipment.
  • Overheating: The heat generated by the EPS foam pelletizing machine while working will affect the capacity of the equipment. Overheating can cause the machine to shut down for cooling, which reduces production time.

Solutions

  • Adjust the feed rate to ensure smooth feeding to maintain the normal working condition of the equipment.
  • Regularly check the cooling system of the equipment to ensure that it does not shut down due to overheating.

Excessive noise of plastic foam extruder

Excessive noise is one of the common problems with EPS foam pelletizing machines, which not only affects the working environment, but may also indicate a fault in the machine. The reasons for excessive noise may be as follows:

  • Equipment imbalance: EPS pelletizing machine will cause noise if the transmission parts are unbalanced or unstable when working.
  • Poor lubrication: Poor lubrication of the equipment will increase the friction between the parts, which will lead to an increase in noise.

Solutions

  • Regularly check the transmission parts of the equipment to ensure that they are balanced and stable.
  • Maintain the lubrication system of the equipment to keep good lubrication conditions and reduce friction and noise.
