What should be done in case of pipe blockages or valve blockages in production? !

Tap it with a soft brush; if it seems about to get clogged, increase the flow rate to clear it, otherwise remove the valve.

Methods such as heating, pressurization, vibration, or removal can be chosen according to the actual situation

For this issue, it’s best to first determine what might be causing the blockage before taking specific action. For example, if it is due to freezing, frost, or similar conditions, it can be addressed by heating. If the blockage is caused by the deposition of internal materials, it can be resolved by applying vibrations such as tapping. If a chemical reaction occurs, such as polymerization, the only option at that point is to remove the pipes and valves. There are also some blockages that can be resolved through backblowing.

Using steam to blow is not as good as using steam for heating

Let’s see what the reason is. If it’s due to freezing, it’s purely a management issue; knowing that the pipelines can freeze doesn’t mean one should be worried about the materials running out.

Options can be chosen based on actual circumstances; there are many methods available, and the choice depends on the manufacturing process

Suggestions: 1. If the blockage is caused by materials, it is necessary to remove the materials from the equipment or pipe sections at both ends before replacing the pipe section. In the case of blockages caused by salts (solid substances), the pipe section can be tapped or washed with water; for substances that vaporize easily, hot water or steam can be used. 2. If the valve’s contact surfaces are corroded and prevent it from opening, the valve must be replaced. However, corrosion of the valves can be minimized, for example by removing as much moisture as possible from the system. There are also valves that are not used frequently; it is necessary to send someone to operate them from time to time, so as to prevent them from remaining in the same state for too long. This helps keep control valves, ball valves, pneumatic valves, etc., flexible. 3. For pipes that are prone to freezing in winter, it is necessary to take measures to insulate them and prevent heat loss, as well as to maintain a state of circulation or flow; if the system is shut down, the fluid within such pipes should be drained. :handshake :handshake Be careful with the equipment!

:Handshake: Regarding the issue of pipe blockages, I think it’s necessary to take targeted actions. For blockages caused by freezing due to dropping temperatures, solutions such as using companion pipes or heating can be employed. If clogging is caused by mechanical impurities or chemical reactions, a specific analysis of the causes is required to apply the right solution. :handshake :handshake
