What’s the LTMD Series mixing & drying silo?

With the rapid development of plastic steel profiles, the application of automatic mixing conveying and storage systems is gradually expanding, and the traditional manual metering and conveying methods are gradually reduced. How to ensure that the mixed raw materials can be delivered to the workplace place in time effectively? The silo plays an important role here. This article will introduce its related applications and some maintenance measures.

1. Definition of the LTMD Series mixing & drying silo

Generally speaking, the mixing & drying silo is a simple silo of mixing and drying materials.

2. Mechanical structure of the LTMD Series mixing & drying silo

The mixing & drying silo is made of a feeding hopper, stainless steel mixing barrel, screw blade, motor, ladder, control cabinet, air blower, etc.

3. Application scope of the LTMD Series mixing & drying silo

The mixing & drying silo can be used for plastic flakes, crushing material, plastic particles, new and old plastic materials and additive masterbatches to mix them evenly.

4. Application of the LTMD Series mixing & drying silo

The mixing & drying silo adopts the principle of screw stirring, and the material is sent to the upper end of the barrel through the screw spindle, and then the material is dropped at an umbrella-shaped and continuously circulates to achieve the uniform mixing effect.

This mixing method can make all kinds of materials fully mix evenly, improve the production efficiency and don’t have the phenomenon of material waste. At the same time, the method of heating the surrounding barrel wall is adopted to achieve the purpose of mixing and drying.

5. Working principle of the LTMD Series mixing & drying silo

After the materials to be stirred are poured from the feeding hopper, the materials will be automatically sucked into the internal screw blade by the equipment. After the materials are rolled to the top, they will be scattered at an umbrella-shaped, and the stirring action will be repeated in a continuous cycle. The silo is mixing and drying materials at the same time.

6. How to operate the LTMD Series mixing & drying silo?

(1) Before use, check whether the equipment and the barrel are clean, and make sure they are clean before use. Before use, check the firmness of all connections, the amount of lubricating oil and the integrity of electrical equipment.

(2) Pay special attention to the running direction of the motor when switching on the power.  

(3) After starting up, idling is required for 2-5 minutes. Feeding can be conducted after confirmation of normal operation.

(4) There is no need to heat when feeding. The air blower and heating should be turned on after feeding.

(5) Set the mixing time to be longer than the heating time.

(6) After the mechanical mixing and drying, please do not immediately turn off the air blower, continue to blow 5~6 minutes after the switch off, make the heat pipe more durable.

(7) After use or before refueling, please turn off the power supply of the equipment and clean the equipment inside and outside areas to avoid mixing next time.

7. Routine maintenance

In order to ensure the normal operation and daily normal use of the mixing and drying silo, careful maintenance plays a great role in the service life of the equipment. It is necessary to develop safe operation rules and maintenance system to have regular repair and replacement of parts to prevent improper operation caused by equipment and personal accidents. The safety operation rules and reasonable maintenance system should be carefully formulated by the user according to the actual situation. The following considerations should be taken into account when formulating the maintaining system.

  • Under the normal use of the equipment, it shall not be used to complete additional tasks other than the required and is not allowed to overload anything else.
  • Lubricate the bearing regularly to ensure the lubrication of the bearing during operation.
  • Check the tightness of the belt regularly to prevent the belt from slipping and causing damage.
  • Check the fastening condition of equipment regularly.
  • Regularly clean the dust of the electrical surface, check whether the electrical wire is damaged. If there is any damage, please repair or replace it in time.

8. Notes

(1) If you need to shovel and scrape the materials in the inner barrel of the machine. In order to avoid accidents, please use bamboo tools instead of metal tools.

(2) To ensure that the motor and other devices are free of debris or other covering.

(3) Under normal operating conditions, no one is allowed to directly contact the moving parts, keep a distance, please do not wear loose clothing during operation, especially collar, cuffs and trousers.
