How to Operate the Feed Mixer

The operator should well know the structure, performance and operating methods of the machine, and have received the training organized by Jiangsu Muyang. Each batch of material should be fed evenly in production and may not be sometimes more and sometimes less, so as to ensure the motor running under a rated load. After working, the paddle mixer must make an idle run for 1-2 min. prior to shutting down, so as to discharge all materials out of the machine.

If violent vibration occurs when the mixer is running, it should be stopped immediately to find out the cause and may only be restarted for work until the fault is eliminated. The temperature raise (refers to the risen temperature above ambient temperature) of the bearings for main shaft should not be higher than 35℃, and the maximum temperature should not be higher than 70℃ (ambient temperature should not be higher than 40℃). Carry out necessary cleaning and inspection when each shift of work is finished.

Materials cannot be fed until the rotor is running normally. Muyang refuses to responsible for all accidents that result from starting mixing machine with load Additives should be added in when half of the major materials has entered into the machine, and oil/fat should not be sprayed until all materials have entered the machine. Keep mixing for a certain period of time after spraying, and then discharge. When the machine is stopped and not to be used, oil/fat must be emptied out of the liquid pipe, so as to avoid pipe blockage due to oil solidification.

Metal or other large impurities should not be included in the material, or else rotor and paddles may be damaged. The speed reducer, cylinder and other accessories on the feed mixer should be used in accordance with the relevant stipulations in their operating instruction manuals. After a period of using, check the screws, nuts, and lubricating points for normal performance, and tight the other fasteners as well. Avoid overload running, so as to protect the main shaft from broken. Feeding amount of each mixing batch should strictly accord with that required in Table 2-2. Accident resulted for overload is not Muyang's responsibility. Before each restart, any residues in the mixer chamber must be emptied. Material cannot be fed until the rotor is running normally.
