Emergency Principles: Safety First, Speed ​​and Efficiency, Avoiding Secondary Losses.

Emergency opening of a floating fish food pellet manufacturing machine must adhere to three core principles, balancing safety, efficiency, and equipment protection, and adapting to emergency production scenarios. First, safety is paramount: Even in urgent production situations, the shutdown, power-off, and cooling procedures must be strictly followed (in special circumstances, the cooling time can be appropriately shortened, but high-temperature protective equipment must be worn). Opening the cover while it is powered on or at high temperatures is strictly prohibited to prevent burns and electric shocks, and to avoid damage to equipment due to improper operation.
Second, speed and efficiency are crucial: Simplify unnecessary procedures, focusing on the core steps of "unlocking-loosening-removing." Prioritize troubleshooting common problems encountered when opening the cover (such as stuck clips or bolts), and resolve them quickly. The goal is to complete the opening process in 5-10 minutes for small machines, 10-15 minutes for medium-sized machines, and 15-20 minutes for large machines.Third, compatibility is key: Based on the type of malfunction, prioritize removing the corresponding cover (e.g., if material is blocking the feed inlet, only the feed inlet cover needs to be removed; if the screw is stuck, the barrel cover needs to be removed). Avoid blindly removing all covers, which prolongs the opening time and exacerbates production losses.

Emergency Cover Opening Procedure: Simplify steps, complete quickly, and focus on troubleshooting.

This document provides a simplified emergency opening procedure for the three most common types of sudden malfunctions in fish meal making machines (feed inlet blockage, screw jamming, and die head damage). It balances practicality and efficiency, and is tailored to emergency scenarios.

The first step is an emergency shutdown and power cut-off: Immediately turn off the main power supply to the fish feed extruder, unplug the power cord, hang warning signs, assign a dedicated person to monitor the machine, and prevent unauthorized restarting. If the equipment temperature is too high, wear high-temperature protective gear. The cooling time can be appropriately shortened (to 60-70℃) to avoid prolonged waiting and disruption of fish meal processing. The machine malfunction escalated; 

The second step was to quickly locate the fault and determine which cover needed to be removed: If the feed inlet was blocked, only the feed inlet cover needed to be removed; if the screw was stuck or material inside the barrel was clumped, the barrel cover needed to be removed; if the die head was damaged or the discharge was blocked, the die head cover needed to be removed.

The third step was to quickly open the covers: For snap-on covers (feed inlet cover): use a pry bar to quickly pry open the stuck snaps, unlock them, and immediately remove the cover, clearing any clogged material; for bolt-fixed covers (barrel cover, die head cover): use an electric wrench (or a regular wrench if no electric wrench is available) to quickly unscrew the bolts diagonally. Two people should work together to quickly support the cover and gently pry it apart. After removal, immediately check for the fault. 

The fourth step was temporary troubleshooting: after opening the covers, quickly clear any clogged material from the fish food extruder machine and troubleshoot the fault (e.g., if the screw is stuck, clear any clumped material inside the barrel; if the die head is damaged, temporarily replace it with a spare die head). After handling these issues, quickly install the covers, start the equipment, and resume production. Further details such as cover cleaning and component inspection will be performed later.

Emergency Precautions: Mitigating Risks and Reducing Secondary Damage and Production Losses to the Fish Food Maker Machine.

Emergency Precautions: Mitigating risks and reducing secondary damage and production losses to the fish food maker machine.

First, do not open the lid while it is powered on or at high temperatures (without wearing protective equipment) to save time, as this could cause burns or electric shocks. Also, avoid disassembling the lid at high temperatures, as this could damage gaskets, clips, and other components. Second, do not forcibly remove stuck lids or bolts that cannot be tightened, as this could break clips, strip bolts, exacerbate equipment damage, and prolong repair time. Third, after an emergency lid opening, quickly address the problem to prevent residual material inside the barrel from clumping or the screw from rusting, which could worsen the malfunction. Fourth, prepare for emergencies in advance by stocking commonly used spare parts (spare clips, bolts, gaskets) and emergency tools (electric wrenches, rust remover, pry bars) to handle unexpected problems during lid opening, further shortening emergency lid opening time and reducing production losses from the automatic fish feed making machine.
