Complete Guide to Roots Fan Conveyor System: Practical Guide from Selection to Maintenance
Pain point analysis
Many factories often encounter problems such as insufficient air volume, high energy consumption, loud noise, and frequent maintenance when using Roots blowers for material conveying. These issues not only affect production efficiency, but may also result in additional maintenance costs. In fact, these problems often stem from improper selection or improper use and maintenance. As long as the correct methods are mastered, they can be easily solved.
Correct selection is key
When choosing a Roots blower, the first thing to consider is the characteristics of the conveyed material:
-Powdered material: requires lower air pressure but higher air volume
-Granular material: requires moderate air pressure and volume
-Fibrous material: requires high air pressure to prevent blockage
Suggest adding a margin of 15-20 on top of the theoretical value when calculating the actual required air volume. At the same time, pay attention to the working environment temperature, and choose high-temperature resistant models in high temperature environments.
2 Installation precautions
Improper installation is a common cause of low fan efficiency:
-The foundation should be firm, and shock-absorbing pads should be used
-Import and export pipelines should be straight and reduce the number of bends
-The pipeline connection should be well sealed to avoid air leakage
-The motor and fan pulleys should be aligned to prevent belt wear
3 Daily operation skills
Proper operation can extend the lifespan of the machine:
-Check the oil level before starting to ensure good lubrication
-Start with no load, wait for normal operation before loading
-Pay attention to monitoring abnormal sounds during operation
-Regularly check the tension of the belt
4 Maintenance Points
Regular maintenance can avoid major repairs:
-Replace lubricating oil every 500 hours
-Clean the air filter monthly
-Check gear wear every quarter
-Inspect once a year
5 Common Fault Handling
Don't panic when encountering problems:
-Insufficient air volume: Check if the pipeline is blocked or leaking air
-High temperature: Check if the lubricating oil is sufficient
-Abnormal noise: Check whether the bearings or gears are worn
-Excessive vibration: Check if the foundation is loose
Remember, the Roots blower is like a diligent 'porter', as long as it is given appropriate 'care', it can work stably for you for a long time. When encountering problems, it is advisable to start by checking small details first, which can often quickly solve the problem!
