Screw and Extrusion Chamber Cleaning: Prevents wear and thoroughly removes residue. The screw is the core transmission component of the small pet food extrusion equipment machine. Its surface has helical ridges, and the inner wall of the extrusion chamber has a precision wear-resistant layer. Residual material easily adheres to the gaps between the helical ridges and the chamber wall. During cleaning, the screw must first be removed from the extrusion chamber, taking care to avoid collisions that could damage the helical ridges and chamber wall. For stubborn residue, the screw and extrusion chamber can be soaked in warm water (50-60℃) for 30 minutes. After the residue softens, gently brush it with a soft nylon brush. Never strike or scrape with hard objects. After cleaning, check the screw ridges for wear and the inner wall of the extrusion chamber for smoothness. If severe wear is found, replace the component immediately. For example, when cleaning the screw of a Twin-Screw fish feed extruder machine, pay attention to the meshing gap between the two screws. After cleaning, ensure there is no residue in the gap to prevent material jamming during operation.
Die Head Cleaning: Protects the orifice diameter and ensures uniform output. The die head of a floating fish feed pellet extruder machine is a key component in feed pellet formation. The aperture size directly determines the pellet size. Residual raw materials can easily clog the apertures, leading to uneven feed output and reduced production capacity. Before cleaning, the die head should be removed from the machine and soaked in warm water for 15-20 minutes. For severely clogged apertures, a special cleaning needle can be used to gently unclog them. The needle size must match the aperture size to avoid enlarging the aperture. After unclogging, wipe the die head surface with a soft cloth to ensure no residue remains inside the apertures and the surface is smooth. After cleaning, check the die head apertures for deformation and the sealing surface for damage. If there are scratches on the sealing surface, repair or replace it promptly to prevent leakage during operation. For example, when cleaning the die head for producing 1.5mm baby pet food, a 1.5mm cleaning needle should be used to gently insert into the apertures to clear any residue, ensuring each aperture is unobstructed.
Feed inlet and hopper cleaning: Prevent cross-contamination of raw materials. The feed inlet and hopper are the channels through which raw materials enter the dog food pellet machine. Residual raw materials tend to clump together, and if not cleaned promptly, cross-contamination can occur when new raw materials enter, affecting feed quality. During cleaning, first remove any remaining raw materials from the hopper, wipe the inner wall of the hopper with warm water and a neutral detergent, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water. For the screw conveyor components at the feed inlet, use a soft brush to clean the screw blades to ensure no raw materials adhere. After cleaning, the hopper and feed inlet must be completely dried to prevent residual moisture from causing the raw materials to become damp and clump together. For example, if you are producing hypoallergenic cat food after producing high-protein dog food, you must thoroughly clean the feed inlet and hopper to prevent dog food residue from causing cat food allergies.
