Difficulty in operating the lift tube flap switch
Thread Content
Due to operational requirements, the furnace temperature at the site has been reduced to around 1250 degrees Celsius, which makes it difficult to operate the flip switch. Currently, heating methods and other auxiliary measures are being used, but the problem has not been resolved yet. Is this related to the furnace temperature? And how can this issue be solved?
This should have little to do with production limits; it’s mainly the packing inside that’s worn out. Give it a try after replacing it.
Check whether the water seal in your rising pipe is severely clogged with deposits, whether the shaft is worn, or if there is a lack of oil
It is oiled at regular intervals, and it has nothing to do with production volume
Many companies, in an effort to reduce smoking and burning at the flap shaft, tighten the packing in that area excessively, which makes it difficult to open and close the flap. Loosen the bolts that hold the packing and give it a try by adding lubricant
