Operation and Maintenance of Organic Fertilizer Drum Granulator: Software Guarantee for Granulation

Even with compatible raw materials and equipment parameters, improper operation or lack of maintenance can lead to efficiency decline. The key impact points are as follows:

Real-time Monitoring and Parameter Fine-tuning

If the particle status is not monitored promptly during production (such as excessive dispersion or moisture), and adjustments to moisture or rotational speed are not made, substandard particles will continue to be produced, requiring rework and indirectly reducing efficiency.

Operation recommendation: Sample and inspect the pellet formation rate every 30 minutes. If it falls below 65%, immediately investigate the moisture content, rotational speed, or feed rate.

Equipment Cleaning and Wearable Parts Replacement

If residual lumpy material (not cleaned in time) remains on the inner wall of the drum, it will reduce the effective granulation space. The wear of easily damaged parts such as support rollers and transmission gears can lead to unstable drum operation and uneven material tumbling.

Maintenance Cycle: Clean the inner walls of the drum after daily production, inspect the wear of the supporting rollers every 3 months, and lubricate the gears every 6 months.

Auxiliary Equipment Matching Degree

The granulator does not operate in isolation. If the production capacity of the front-end raw material mixer (uneven mixing) or the rear-end dryer (insufficient drying) does not match that of the granulator, it can lead to "material blockage at both ends," forcing the granulator to reduce its speed.

Matching Principle: The production capacity of the mixer should be 10%-15% higher than that of the granulator (to ensure sufficient raw material supply), while the production capacity of the dryer should match that of the granulator (to prevent pellet accumulation).
