What should be done if there is severe rod chaos in a rod mill and the rods have already been installed?
There’s no good solution; stop the mill, remove the bent rods, replace them with new ones, and then restart it. Otherwise, it will cause the rod to bend more and more.
Reply to 2# Comrade Li: Doing this is very dangerous. Are there any safety measures in place when entering the pole-picking area? Do you have any experience in this area?
When the main unit is powered off, the axle of the auxiliary unit comes loose; it is necessary to obtain the relevant permits for working in confined spaces as required, ensure proper supervision, and then proceed with the work.
It’s a problem with the rods; prevention is possible, but it still doesn’t solve the issue.
Good steel bars have high hardness, good straightness, are of fixed length, wear-resistant, and do not break – these are the standards. What do you think, Yuanfang?
The only option is to stop the grinder and replace it; there’s no other way.
Stop the grinder and first replace the contents with water, as there are additives, methanol waste liquid, etc. inside – it’s unbearable for humans to enter there. After cleaning it thoroughly, cut off the power supply, then have someone enter to remove any bent or broken rods, and add new rods as needed.
