How to maintain an experimental rotary furnace?

The maintenance of experimental rotary furnaces is the key to ensuring their long-term stable operation and extending their service life. Here are some key maintenance measures:
1. Daily cleaning and maintenance
Regular cleaning: Experimental rotary furnaces may accumulate dust and oxides during use, which may affect the performance and thermal efficiency of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean the furnace and various components, including the furnace wall, lining, spiral body, etc. When cleaning, appropriate tools and cleaning agents should be used to ensure safe operation.
Check sealing: The sealing structure of the furnace body is crucial for preventing heat loss and ensuring the purity of the atmosphere inside the furnace. The sealing structure of the furnace body should be regularly inspected, including sealing gaskets, sealing rings, etc. If there is any damage or aging, it should be replaced in a timely manner.
2. Regular inspection and replacement
Furnace lining inspection and replacement: The furnace lining is a refractory material in the rotary furnace, which may experience wear and corrosion after long-term use. The wear of the furnace lining should be checked regularly and replaced as needed. In general, the replacement cycle of furnace lining should be based on specific usage conditions and manufacturer recommendations.
Transmission component inspection: Transmission components such as screws, bushings, etc. may experience wear or damage during use. These components should be regularly inspected for wear and tear, and repaired or replaced as needed. At the same time, the neutrality and balance of the transmission system should be ensured to reduce vibration and noise during operation.
3. Lubrication management
Bearing lubrication: The bearings of the rotary furnace need to be regularly lubricated with grease to maintain their good operating condition. A lubrication plan should be developed based on the usage of the equipment and the manufacturer’s recommendations, and strictly implemented. When adding lubricating grease, ensure that the quality and quantity of the grease meet the requirements.
Gearbox lubrication: For experimental rotary furnaces equipped with gearboxes, the oil level and quality of the gearboxes should be regularly checked, and lubricating oil should be replaced as needed. The lubrication management of reducers is of great significance for ensuring the normal operation of equipment and extending its service life.
4. Security protection
Electrical safety: The insulation performance of electrical circuits and equipment should be regularly checked to ensure the safety and reliability of the electrical system. At the same time, relevant electrical safety regulations should be followed to avoid accidents such as electric shock.
Operational safety: Operators should receive professional training and be familiar with the operating procedures and safety precautions of the equipment. During the operation, personal protective equipment should be worn and relevant safety regulations should be followed.
5. Long term storage and maintenance
Moisture and dust prevention: If the experimental rotary furnace needs to be stored for a long time, moisture and dust prevention measures should be taken. You can cover the surface of the device with dust-proof cloth or place it in a dry environment to avoid moisture and dust accumulation.
Regular inspection: Even if the equipment is in long-term storage, the integrity and functionality of its various components should be checked regularly. If any damage or malfunction is found, it should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.
In summary, the maintenance work of experimental rotary furnaces involves multiple aspects, including daily cleaning and maintenance, regular inspection and replacement, lubrication management, safety protection, and long-term storage and maintenance. By developing and implementing a scientific maintenance plan, the normal operation and extended service life of equipment can be ensured.
