Small plastic pelletizing machines play an important role in the plastic recycling process, but after a long time of use, they need to be cleaned to ensure that they work efficiently and stably. The following will introduce five steps to clean plastic extruder machine equipment to ensure its performance and life.

Shut down and power off the plastic granulator

Before starting the cleaning process, it is important to make sure that the small plastic pelletizing machine has been stopped and disconnected from the power supply. This is to prevent any accidents from occurring during the cleaning process and to ensure the safety of the operator. In addition, disconnecting the power also helps to reduce energy consumption, which is in line with the concept of environmental protection.

Unloading residual material

Before cleaning, you need to remove the residual material in the small plastic pelletizing machine. Open the inlet and check the feeding system and internal parts to make sure there are no residual plastic particles or foreign materials. This step is to avoid mixing different kinds of plastics, which may affect the production quality.

Removing removable parts

Plastic extruder machine equipment usually contains some removable parts, such as screens and screws. Disassemble these parts according to the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer. To clean these parts, you can use a professional cleaning agent to ensure the removal of surface stains and adhesions. Note that the choice of cleaning agent should be appropriate for the type of plastic and the material of the plastic granule making machine.

Check and clean the cooling system

Small plastic pelletizing machine generates a certain amount of heat when working, so its cooling system is crucial. Check the cooling fan, heat sink and other parts to make sure they are free of dust and dirt. You can use an air pressure gun or brush to clean the surface of the heat sink to ensure good heat dissipation and prevent damage to the plastic extruder machine equipment due to overheating.

Assemble the small plastic pelletizing machine

After completing the cleaning and inspection work, reassemble the disassembled parts according to the installation instructions of the small plastic pelletizing machine. Make sure that each part is installed in place and the bolts are tightened. Then carry out a test run to check whether the plastic granule making machine is working properly and observe whether there is any abnormal noise or vibration. If everything is normal, it can be put back into use.
