Why Does Extrusion Pelletizing Machine Motor Get Water?

plastic granulator motor

Extrusion pelletizing machine plays a key role in the plastic processing industry, and the motor is one of its core driving components. However, in the process of operation, plastic granulator motor water problems occur from time to time, which not only affects the production efficiency but also may lead to equipment damage. In this article, we will analyse the causes of water ingress of waste plastic recycling pelletizing machine motor, provide countermeasures, and discuss how to protect the plastic granulator motor from water ingress.

Reasons for water ingress in extrusion pelletizing machine

  • Poor sealing of equipment: The motor in extrusion pelletizing machine is usually exposed to the humid working environment, if the sealing of the equipment is poor, the external moisture will easily penetrate into the motor.
  • Failure of the cooling system: Extrusion pelletizing machine motors usually need to be equipped with a cooling system to maintain normal operating temperature. Once the cooling system fails, the motor may overheat, causing moisture in the surrounding air to condense into water droplets inside the motor.
  • Humid working environment: Some production sites have high humidity in the surrounding air due to a humid working environment. Prolonged exposure to humidity may result in water ingress into the motor due to infiltration and condensation.

Ways to deal with the motor water ingress

  • Equipment maintenance: Regularly check and maintain the sealing device of the extrusion pelletizing machine to ensure that it is intact and prevent external moisture from entering the inside of the motor.
  • Cooling system monitoring: Establish an effective cooling system monitoring mechanism, and timely detection and repair of cooling system failure, to ensure that the motor operating temperature is stable.
  • Control the working environment: Control humidity at the production site, and take appropriate ventilation and dehumidification measures to reduce the moisture content in the surrounding air.

Plastic granulator motor protection measures

  1. Installation of protective cover: Install a protective cover for the motor section to prevent the entry of external substances and to avoid the entry of water vapor into the motor.
  2. Regular inspection of equipment: Establish a regular inspection system to check for signs of water build-up in and around the extrusion pelletizing machine motor, and deal with any problems as soon as they are found.
  3. Upgrade equipment: Consider upgrading aging extrusion pelletizing machine with better seals to reduce the risk of water ingress into the motor.
