Energy-saving tips for making coal sticks 1: Understand the equipment’s performance and know the right time to start it. First, it is necessary to understand the performance of the coal stick manufacturing machine as well as the power of the motor used in it. When starting up the equipment, it should be done according to production needs – try to minimize the number of times it is started; if 3 units are sufficient, then no need to use 4. Additionally, it is necessary to control the timing of starting up and feeding, initiating the motors in sequence to avoid starting them all at the same time. Follow the production procedures when feeding. 2 Do not start the machine abruptly. When starting it, be patient: first turn the belt pulley by hand, then press it to get the machine running, and only after that press it a second time to start it fully. After the machine starts rotating, feed a small amount first, then gradually increase the amount. The current should be controlled using an appropriate amount of material added; neither too much nor too little is suitable. In particular, starting the machine abruptly after adding material can easily cause the current level to rise, leading to blockages in the machine or damage to the motor. 3. Turn off the lighting lights during the day. For the lighting used in coal stick production, the switches should be separate; it is necessary to turn them off when visibility is good during the day, as they should not remain on all the time. 4 To avoid freezing or idling, the operation must be carried out carefully to prevent the nozzle from getting blocked. If the raw material blocks the nozzle orifice, the nozzle must be removed for cleaning before reassembly. The level of current should be controlled by the amount of feed to ensure quality. Avoid idling caused by overloading or insufficient feeding. 5. If the downtime is long, it is best to shut down the machine. When prolonged downtime occurs due to issues such as supply problems or mechanical failures, it is advisable to stop the coal rod feeding machine. Since coal stick machines typically have a power capacity of 75 kW, they consume 1.25 kwh of electricity per minute, and this amount of electricity is sufficient for the machine to produce 83 kg of coal sticks. 6 When starting the motor, do not do so abruptly or under load. Starting the coal rod machine abruptly or under load also results in power waste; it is estimated that abrupt starting consumes 6 to 7 times more electricity than normal operation. 7. Hard objects such as iron should be kept away from the coal rod machine. This machine is highly sensitive to small amounts of hard materials like iron; in mild cases, these can block the nozzle opening, resulting in an increase in electrical current ； In severe cases, it not only damages the bearings and gearbox but also burns out the motor. 8 Regularly check the power supply and remove dust; the coal rod area has a lot of dust accumulated there. After being used for a period of time, motors and distribution cabinets should be inspected to remove any accumulated dust. Before starting up each time, check the motor terminals to ensure that the wires and power supply are in good condition. 9 Choose the right motor model: To achieve energy savings, selecting the appropriate type of motor is the most fundamental factor. Therefore, it is necessary to select the most power-efficient and highest-performance motor based on the requirements of the coal rod machine and production processes, in order to ensure an optimal configuration.
