In animal husbandry production, feed mixer is one of the indispensable equipment. It can mix various feed raw materials evenly, improve the palatability and nutritional value of feed, and thus improve the production performance and economic benefits of livestock and poultry. However, while feed mixers bring convenience, they also have certain safety hazards. In order to ensure the safe use of feed mixers, the following are some safety matters that need to be paid attention to.
Before starting to use the feed mixer, the operator should fully understand the structure and working principle of the equipment. This includes being familiar with the location and function of the main components such as the mixing barrel, motor, transmission system, and control system. Only by having a deep understanding of the equipment can you make a quick judgment and deal with it when a fault occurs.
Before each use, the feed mixer should be thoroughly inspected. The inspection includes:
Whether the power cord is intact and the plug is firmly inserted into the socket.
Whether there are foreign objects in the mixing barrel, such as tools, gloves or other items.
Whether the transmission parts are well lubricated and whether there is abnormal wear or looseness.
Whether the safety protection devices are in place, such as protective covers, emergency stop buttons, etc.
Whether the electrical control system is normal and whether the switch is sensitive and reliable.
Newly purchased or repaired feed mixers need to be properly installed and commissioned. When installing, a flat and solid ground should be selected to ensure that the equipment is stable and does not shake. During commissioning, a no-load test run should be carried out first to observe whether the equipment is running smoothly and whether there are any abnormal sounds or vibrations. After confirmation, it can be put into formal use.
When operating a feed mixer, the following procedures must be strictly followed:
Wear work clothes and protective equipment, such as masks, gloves, goggles, etc.
Do not arbitrarily change the structure of the equipment or remove safety protection devices.
Do not put your hands or other objects into the mixing barrel when the equipment is running.
Do not overload the equipment to avoid overheating or damage to the motor.
Do not leave your post when the equipment is running, and pay attention to the operation of the equipment at any time.
Electrical safety is an important aspect that cannot be ignored when using a feed mixer. The following are some electrical safety precautions:
Make sure that the power supply voltage matches the rated voltage of the equipment to avoid damage to the equipment due to excessively high or low voltage.
Check the electrical circuit regularly and replace aging and damaged wires and plugs in time.
Do not use the equipment in a humid environment to prevent leakage accidents.
Do not touch electrical components while the equipment is running to avoid electric shock.
Mechanical injuries are one of the most common types of accidents in the operation of feed mixers. To prevent mechanical injuries, the following points should be noted:
Do not open the protective cover or approach the rotating parts while the equipment is running.
Do not use your hands or other objects to clean the residue in the mixing barrel while the equipment is running.
Do not perform maintenance or repair work while the equipment is running.
Do not stand in an unstable position while the equipment is running.
Even if all precautions are taken, emergencies may still occur. Therefore, operators should learn how to respond to emergencies:
If an electrical failure occurs, the power supply should be cut off immediately and professional maintenance personnel should be notified for inspection and repair.
If a mechanical failure occurs, the equipment should be stopped immediately and measures should be taken to prevent further damage.
If a personal injury accident occurs, first aid should be given immediately and an emergency call should be made for help.
In order to ensure the long-term and stable operation of the feed mixer, regular maintenance and maintenance are essential. Maintenance and maintenance work includes:
Regularly clean the residue in the mixing barrel and keep the equipment clean.
Regularly check the wear of transmission parts and replace severely worn parts in time.
Regularly add lubricating oil to transmission parts to reduce friction and wear.
Regularly check the reliability of electrical control systems and replace damaged components in time.
Regularly conduct comprehensive inspections of equipment to promptly discover and eliminate potential safety hazards.
In order to improve the safety awareness and skill level of operators, enterprises should regularly organize safety training and education activities. The training content may include:
The structure, principle and operation method of feed mixers.
Safety operating procedures and precautions.
Judgment and handling methods of common faults.
Response measures in emergency situations.
Personal protection knowledge and skills.
There are many safety matters that need to be paid attention to when using feed mixers, but as long as we strictly abide by the operating procedures, strengthen equipment maintenance, and improve the safety awareness of operators, we can effectively avoid accidents and ensure production safety and personnel health. I hope that the introduction of this article can help users better understand and use feed mixers and make greater contributions to the development of enterprises.
