It’s essential to understand and implement effective daily maintenance and care measures to extend equipment life. This article will introduce in detail the daily maintenance and care methods of the Fluid-bed Dryer to help you ensure the optimal performance of the equipment.
1. Clean the heater, fan, container, inside and outside of the drying room, cylinder, control cabinet and dust and dirt regularly to keep the equipment clean.
2. Check the oil mist of the air inlet source (air handler) regularly. Add 5# and 7# mechanical oil (transformer oil) to the oil cylinder (on the air outlet side) of the air handler. The oil volume is two-thirds of the total oil mist; if there is water in the water filter, it should be discharged in time.
3. The support bearing of the spray drying chamber should rotate flexibly. The rotating part should be cleaned and 5-8 drops of lubricating oil should be dripped into it every day.
4. When the equipment is not in use, it should be started every fifteen days, and the starting time should not be less than 20 minutes to prevent the solenoid valve, cylinder, etc. from drying up due to long-term lubricating oil, causing damage to the solenoid valve and cylinder.
5. Cleaning: Pull out the raw material container, spray drying chamber, put down the filter bag rack, remove the capture bag, close the damper, clean the materials remaining in various parts of the main machine, especially the gaps on the air flow distribution plate in the raw material container. In particular, the cloth bags should be cleaned and dried in time.
6. If the bag is leaking or damaged or the drying efficiency is low, the bag should be replaced in time.
7. After the bag is installed, the wire rope should be loosened to prevent the wire rope from breaking under stress or damaging the cylinder and other parts.
8. Control the airbag inflation pressure to 0.05-0.1MPa. Too much pressure will damage the airbag.
9. Shake the bag to clean the dust before discharging, and remove the material temperature sensor.
10. Set up the ground wire before starting each time.
11. The total amount of wet material put in each time should be less than 200kg.
12. The operation should be carried out according to the operating steps.
What is lyophilization? Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, is an important process in the pharmaceutical industry. It helps preserve medicines, vaccines, and other sensitive products by removing moisture. If you buy a used freeze-dried machine, it’s essential to take proper care of it. Proper maintenance will extend the machine’s life, improve efficiency, and ensure the safety and […]
What is freeze-drying? Freeze drying, also called lyophilization, is a method used to preserve medicines, vaccines, and other sensitive products. It removes moisture from products, which helps them stay stable for longer. In the pharmaceutical industry, freeze-drying is key to storing important products, like biologics and vaccines, without needing refrigeration. For freeze-drying to work, you […]
In the pharmaceutical industry, two common methods for drying products are freeze-drying and spray-drying. These methods remove water from products like medicines and vaccines, making them last longer and easier to store. But how do they work? And which one is better for different types of products? Let’s explore the differences between freeze-drying and spray-drying, […]
