As a core piece of equipment in the agricultural industry chain, the service life of a fertilizer production line directly impacts production efficiency, product quality, and corporate economic benefits. Due to factors such as raw material characteristics, operating environment, and operating methods, production lines are prone to problems such as equipment wear and component aging. Through scientific management and systematic maintenance, the service life of the production line can be effectively extended, achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
Effective daily equipment maintenance is fundamental. A comprehensive inspection system should be established, with daily checks of the operating status of core equipment such as granulators, dryers, and screening machines. Key indicators such as bearing temperature, lubricating oil level, and sealing performance should be checked, and any abnormal noises or leaks should be addressed promptly. Equipment should be regularly cleaned, tightened, and lubricated. For easily worn parts such as liners and scrapers, replacement cycles should be established to prevent accelerated equipment wear due to operation with faulty components. At the same time, equipment maintenance records should be established, documenting maintenance content and replaced parts, providing data support for future maintenance.
Optimizing production processes can reduce equipment load. Process parameters should be adjusted reasonably according to the characteristics of the raw materials to avoid equipment overload due to excessively hard or wet materials. For example, in organic fertilizer production, strictly control the moisture content and particle size of the fermented materials to prevent clogging of equipment pipelines; in the compound fertilizer granulation process, precisely control temperature and pressure to reduce wear on the inner wall of the granulator. In addition, installing material pretreatment devices to remove impurities and hard objects such as stones from the raw materials can reduce equipment wear from the source.
Strengthening the control of the operating environment is indispensable. Dust and corrosive gases generated during fertilizer production process can accelerate equipment aging. Therefore, complete dust removal and desulfurization equipment should be installed to keep the production workshop clean and dry. For equipment in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant materials should be used for components, and moisture-proof and anti-corrosion treatments should be applied. In winter, equipment insulation should be ensured, and in summer, ventilation and cooling should be strengthened to prevent extreme temperatures from affecting equipment performance.
Improving the professional level of operators is crucial. Regular skills training should be conducted to familiarize operators with the equipment structure, working principles, and operating procedures, preventing equipment damage due to improper operation. Standardized operating procedures should be established, clearly defining the operating requirements for key stages such as pre-startup inspection, in-operation monitoring, and post-shutdown cleaning, guiding operators to develop good operating habits. Extending the lifespan of fertilizer production lines is a systematic undertaking that requires the organic integration of daily maintenance, process optimization, environmental control, and personnel management. Only through meticulous management can equipment efficiency be maximized, operating and maintenance costs be reduced, and a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the enterprise be established.
