Bead mill antifreeze adding steps
In industrial production, as an important grinding equipment, the stability and durability of the bead mill are crucial for production efficiency and product quality. In the cold season, in order to ensure the normal operation of the bead mill, adding antifreeze has become an essential maintenance work. This article will provide a detailed introduction of the steps about adding antifreeze to a bead mill to ensure the accuracy and safety of this process.
1、Preliminary preparation
Before adding antifreeze, sufficient preparation work must be done. Firstly, it’s important to choose suitable antifreeze. High quality antifreeze not only provides stable antifreeze effect, but also effectively resists corrosion and extends the service life of equipment. According to the operating environment and requirements of the bead mill. It is crucial to choose the appropriate type and concentration of antifreeze. At the same time, considering the differences in minimum temperatures among different regions in China, the freezing point of antifreeze should be 5-10 ℃ lower than the local minimum temperature to ensure sufficient protection in extreme weather conditions.
Next, it is necessary to clean the interior of the bead mill. The purpose of this step is to completely drain the old antifreeze or residual moisture, making room for new antifreeze. During the cleaning process, special attention should be paid to the radiator, engine cooling water tank, and residual fluid in the cylinder to ensure that there is no leakage. At the same time, removing incrustation is also crucial, as incrustation not only affects the fluidity and heat dissipation of antifreeze, but may also cause corrosion to equipment.
2、 Adding antifreeze
Step 1: Open the lid of the antifreeze tank.
After confirming that the bead mill has stopped and the power has been cut off, opening the lid of the antifreeze storage tank. At this time, you should be careful to avoid splashing the antifreeze on the skin. If there is residual liquid in the tank, it can be extracted by using professional refueling tools.
Step 2: Slowly inject antifreeze
Using professional refilling tools to slowly inject antifreeze into the storage tank. During the injection process, we should pay more attention to the height of the liquid level at all times to avoid adding too much or too little. Generally speaking, antifreeze should be added to 10-20mm below the overflow pipe. If the liquid level is too high, it may damage the radiator. If the liquid level is too low, it may not provide sufficient antifreeze protection. To ensure that the liquid level reaches the desired height, while injecting, you can touch the surface of the bead mill with your hand to feel the penetration of the antifreeze. After waiting for a period of time, touching the surface of the bead mill again to confirm that the liquid level is correct.
Step 3: Closing the tank lid and clean it
After confirming that the antifreeze has fully penetrated into the interior of the bead mill, closing the lid of the antifreeze storage tank. At this time, it is important to ensure that the lid is securely fastened to prevent leakage of antifreeze. Then, using clean cloth or tissue to clean the surface of the adding liquid tools and bead mill, and wiping off any excess antifreeze.
3、Precautions
There are several key points to note when adding antifreeze:
1.**Ensure that the power has been cut off **: Before adding antifreeze, it is necessary to ensure that the bead mill has been shut down and the power has been cut off.
2.**Choose the appropriate concentration and quantity **: Adding appropriate concentration and quantity of antifreeze in strict accordance with the requirements. Too much or too little will affect the normal operation of the bead mill. If the concentration of antifreeze is too high, it may deteriorate the cooling effect. If the concentration is too low, there is a risk of freezing.
3.**Check and replace regularly **: During use, the antifreeze should be regularly checked for leakage or loss. If the antifreeze is found to have decreased or deteriorated, it should be replaced in a timely manner. At the same time, according to the change of local climate conditions, timely adjusting the type and concentration of antifreeze.
4.**Avoid mixing use **: Different types of antifreeze should not be mixed. Especially Ethylene glycol and Propylene glycol antifreeze. If mixed, it will reduce the anti-freezing effect. Therefore, when replacing antifreeze, the cooling system should be thoroughly cleaned before adding new antifreeze.
5.**Pay attention to the toxicity of antifreeze **: Antifreeze is generally toxic, do not inhale or touch the skin. In the process of use, we should wear good protective equipment to avoid harm to the body.
6.**Discharge antifreeze before stopping machine **: Before stopping the bead mill, the antifreeze should be drained first. This is to prevent the antifreeze from corroding the equipment components in the equipment during the shutdown process. Especially in extremely cold weather, if the bead mill is parked for too long, the antifreeze should be discharged clean to avoid ice damage to the equipment.
4、Summary
Correctly adding antifreeze is of great significance for protecting bead mill, improving work efficiency and service life. During the addition process, it is necessary to strictly follow the operating steps and precautions to ensure that the antifreeze can fully exert its effect. Meanwhile, regular maintenance and inspection of the bead mill is also an essential link. Only in this way can we ensure the stable operation of the bead mill in cold seasons and provide strong support for production. Through the above steps detailed introduction and precautions, we believe that readers have a clear understanding about the process of adding antifreeze to bead mills. In practical operation, as long as the operation is carried out in accordance with the requirements and pay attention to the details, it will be able to successfully complete the addition of antifreeze and ensure the normal operation of the bead mill.
