Plastic Film Recycling Machine’s 4 Fault Omens and Effective Solutions

plastic film recycling machine

Plastic film recycling machine is used to reprocess waste plastic products and convert them into useful granular forms for further utilization. However, during a long period of operation, granulator plastic recycling may suffer from various malfunctions, affecting production efficiency and quality. In this article, we will introduce in detail the four common omens before the failure of plastic film recycling machine, and provide corresponding response methods.

Uneven surface of pellets

When the surface of the pellets is uneven, or even with extra wounds, this problem indicates a problem with the blades inside the plastic film recycling machine. This may affect the shape and quality of the pellets and reduce the market value of the product. If the blade is intact, the surface of the pellets produced is very smooth and almost uniform in size.

Countermeasures

Check and replace worn blades in time to keep the equipment in good condition. Maintain and lubricate the granulator plastic recycling regularly to reduce wear and friction.

Pellet surface too smooth

Pellet surfaces that are too smooth may affect pellet compactness and flowability, reducing the quality of the product. This may be due to insufficient die pressure, too fast extrusion speed, etc.

Countermeasures

Adjust the die head pressure of plastic film recycling machine and slow down the extrusion speed appropriately. Ensure that the pellets can be sufficiently cooled and solidified to obtain better pellet surface quality.

High particle moisture leads to clogging

During the production process of plastic film recycling machine, the high moisture content of the pellets may lead to clogging. This may be caused by the high moisture content of the feed material itself or the failure of the drying system.

Countermeasures

Sufficiently dry the raw material before production to ensure that the moisture content of the raw material meets the requirements. At the same time, regularly check the working condition of the drying system to ensure its normal operation, to avoid the high moisture caused by the plugging problem.

Cracks in the plastic film recycling machine

Cracks in the mechanical equipment of plastic film recycling machine may seriously affect production safety and equipment stability. This may be caused by fatigue due to prolonged work of the equipment, material quality problems and other reasons.

Countermeasures

Regularly carry out comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the plastic film recycling machine, timely detection and repair of potential crack problems to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
