Any industry that mixes any materials, as long as it is a horizontal mixer, as long as it is equipment, there will be wear and tear and daily problems. Even if it is a small problem, it will accumulate. If you can solve these common problems and ensure daily maintenance, the service life of your horizontal mixer will definitely continue.

First, take OrangeMech’s horizontal mixer as an example to list the common problems that may arise and their answers. It is our honor to help you. Even if you did not buy the equipment from us, I believe this article will help you!

A horizontal mixer is a machine with a horizontal appearance design. The main mixing material is a machine that works in a horizontal drum tank. There is a rotating paddle in the drum tank to accelerate the mixing of materials.

The horizontal mixer is the most common industrial mixer. The main purpose of the horizontal drum tank is to evenly mix dry powder particles and paste materials. Its main purpose is to effectively combine different materials while ensuring uniformity, consistency and high productivity in various industries. The most common one is mixing powder materials. Horizontal mixer purpose is widely used in food processing, pharmaceutical chemicals, building supplies and animal agriculture industries.

1: When mixing powder materials, the powder mixing may be uneven or there may be lumps or separation layers.

2: There is a loud sound during the mixing process, similar to friction or obvious shaking problems.

3: The equipment may have motor overheating or sudden shutdown.

4: Powder will leak from the horizontal drum tank or the discharge valve of the material will leak

1: For the situation of uneven material mixing:

First, make sure your horizontal mixer speed adjustment speed, and whether the material weight in the horizontal drum tank is overloaded, the moisture density of the powder you are mixing and the size of the small particles will affect the mixing situation.

2: First check whether the bolts and nuts are tightened or the bearings are seriously worn. If the problem is found at this time, it should be solved in time. Check the lubrication and wear of the bearings regularly. The frame of OrangeMech’s horizontal mixer is made of 304 stainless steel, which is a hygienic and safe material, but the bolts should also be checked in time.

3: If the equipment has motor overheating or tripping, it is normal. Don’t panic. The main reason may be that the batch of materials is overloaded or the motor vents and heat sinks have not been cleaned for a long time. You need to pay more attention to material overload and motor overheating.

4: If the material penetrates during the mixing process, first check the size and fitting angle of the sealing ring and the gasket. When replacing the seal, be sure to replace it according to the original size. Of course, OrangeMech horizontal mixer for sale will give you a lot of wearing parts. If there is wear, please contact our technicians immediately to know how to replace it correctly.

Prevention is very important and it is essential to extend the life. The following are the 4 most necessary preventive measures:

1: The lubrication degree and frequency of the bearings directly affect the mixing of the materials. It is recommended to lubricate once every 1-2 months.

2: Please be sure to check the seals and mixing blades every month to prevent excessive waste of material leakage.

3: After each mixing of materials, it must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent cross contamination caused by the next mixing.

4: The temperature and heating of the click need to be monitored before each startup.

The actual material put in must be less than the horizontal mixer capacity to avoid overload.

The service life of a device is often inseparable from the daily careful maintenance. Daily preventive behavior directly affects work efficiency. I hope that after reading this article about the pre-maintenance of the horizontal mixer and the coping methods for the occurrence and solution of problems, it will help you.

Finally, warm reminder: In addition to the above problems that may occur in daily life, you can use them as reference solutions. However, if complex mechanical or electrical failures occur, please be sure to consult our professional technicians and do not solve complex problems by yourself. Finally, I hope your device can always be with you like a new machine!
