The installation of the oil pump on the plastic pellet extruder is an important step to ensure the normal operation and maintenance of the equipment. So what elements should you pay attention to when installing the oil pump on the PVC granulting machine? Shuliy Machinery is willing to provide you with detailed professional advice and guidance to ensure that the installation of an oil pump on a plastic granulator goes smoothly.
What is the oil pump on plastic pellet extruder?
The oil pump on the plastic pellet extruder is a device for transferring liquids such as lubricant, coolant, or hydraulic oil. It ensures the lubrication, cooling, and normal operation of mechanical parts. The main function of the oil pump is to extract and transfer the liquid from the storage container or supply system to the required parts.
PVC granulting machine oil pump installation precautions
- The plastic pellet extruder in the stroke is large, and with high ambient temperature occasions, the cylinder can only be fixed at one end, the other end to maintain a free expansion and contraction state. This is to prevent thermal expansion and cause deformation of the cylinder.
- Do not install the seal of the PVC granulting machine cylinder too tightly, especially the o-shaped seal. If it is too tight, the resistance to movement of the piston rod will increase.
- The centerline of the cylinder should be concentric with the line of action of the load force to avoid inducing an example force. Otherwise, the sealing body or piston is easy to wear.
- The piston rod end pinhole should be in the same direction as the earring pinhole (or trunnion). Otherwise, the cylinder will be subjected to a zigzag load with the trunnion as the fulcrum, and wear and seizing will occur.
- Before installing the plastic pellet extruder, you must go and carefully check the processing quality of the shaft end, hole lock, and other places. Chamfer and remove burrs, then go and clean with kerosene or gasoline and blow dry.
The importance of oil pumps for plastic pellet extruder
The importance of a PVC granulting machine oil pump cannot be ignored. It ensures that the mechanical parts of the plastic pellet extruder are adequately lubricated, cooled, and protected by delivering lubricating oil and coolant. This reduces the risk of friction, wear, and overheating, and improves the performance, efficiency, and life of the equipment. Proper lubrication and cooling help reduce maintenance costs, extend PVC granulting machine life, and increase productivity. It also ensures operator safety. Therefore, proper selection, installation, and maintenance of plastic pellet extruder oil pumps are critical to the reliable operation of the equipment.
