Problems with water ingress into the motors of plastic granulation lines can lead to production interruptions and equipment damage. However, appropriate measures can quickly resolve the problem, ensuring production continuity and long extruder plastic pelletizing line life.
What to do if the motor of plastic granulation line enters water?
When water is found in the motor of the plastic granulation line, first of all, stop the machine immediately, and do not continue to run, so as not to further damage the equipment. Then, carefully check the motor and connection parts, find out the water source, and determine the cause of water ingress. If the water ingress is caused by problems such as ruptured pipes or loose connections, it should be repaired immediately. Clean the area of water ingress to ensure that there is no residue or moisture, and then dry the plastic recycling washing line properly.
Measures to prevent water ingress into the motor
In order to prevent water from entering the motor of the plastic granulation line, some maintenance and protective measures can be taken. For example, install equipment protections such as waterproof covers and seals to prevent external moisture from entering the inside of the motor. Regularly check that these protections are intact and replace or repair them in a timely manner if there is a problem. In addition, regularly check the drainage system around the extruder plastic pelletizing line to ensure smooth drainage.
Plastic recycling washing line motor protection measures
For plastic granulation lines that are often exposed to humid environments, a waterproof coating on the motor and related parts can be considered to enhance the waterproof effect. In addition, isolation measures can be taken to separate the motor from the water source. For example, moisture can be prevented from entering the plastic recycling washing line through partitions and baffles.
