Feed mixer is a common agricultural equipment, widely used for feed processing, mixing and uniform distribution. Its performance is directly related to the efficiency of feeding production, but in actual use, the equipment may fail to start, which will not only affect normal production, but also cause economic losses. The following is a detailed analysis of the causes, solutions and preventive measures when the feed mixer cannot start, to help users quickly troubleshoot and ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
The feed mixer is mainly driven by electricity, and power problems are one of the most common reasons:
The power is not connected: the cable may be loose or the plug is not plugged in tightly.
Abnormal voltage: low or unstable voltage will cause the equipment to fail to start normally.
Circuit breaker tripping: overload or short circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip and cut off the power supply.
The motor is the core component of the feed mixer, and its failure will directly affect the startup of the equipment:
Motor overheat protection startup: continuous working time may trigger the protection mechanism.
The internal winding of the motor is burned: the winding is damaged due to overload or long-term operation.
Motor bearing jamming: bearing wear or lack of lubrication causes jamming.
The start of the feed mixer depends on the electronic control system. Control failures may include:
The start button or switch is damaged: the circuit cannot be closed normally.
Relay or contactor failure: the current cannot be transmitted to the motor.
Aging or broken lines: the circuit cannot work properly.
Mechanical structure blocking is also a common cause:
Feed residue blockage: there is a lot of residue in the mixing chamber or feed inlet, causing the equipment to be overloaded.
Transmission system problems: loose or damaged chains, belts or gears.
Bearing or rotor stuck: parts are worn or foreign objects are stuck.
The external environment may also cause the equipment to fail to start:
Cold weather: lubricating oil thickens in low temperature environments, increasing mechanical resistance.
Dust accumulation: too much dust on the motor or control panel affects normal operation.
Humid environment: electrical components may be damp and cause short circuits.
Make sure the power is on and check the connection of the plug, socket and cable.
Use a multimeter to measure whether the voltage is within the required range of the equipment (usually 220V or 380V).
Check whether the distribution box has tripped. If it has tripped, check the cause of overload or short circuit and then reclose it.
If the motor overheat protection is activated, wait for the motor to cool down before restarting, and check whether it is overloaded.
Check whether the motor winding is burned. If there is a burning smell or signs of winding breakage, the winding or motor needs to be replaced.
Lubricate the bearings. If the bearings are damaged, they need to be replaced in time.
Check whether the start button fails. If it is damaged, replace it with a new button.
Test whether the relay or contactor is working properly, and replace the faulty parts if necessary.
Use a multimeter to detect the circuit and repair the aging or broken parts.
Open the mixing chamber to check whether there is any residual material blocking, and clean it if necessary.
Check the transmission system, adjust the tightness or replace the worn chain and belt.
Check the rotor and bearings, remove stuck foreign objects and lubricate.
Before starting the equipment under low temperature conditions, preheat the equipment or use low-temperature lubricating oil.
Clean the surface of the equipment regularly to prevent dust from affecting the heat dissipation of the motor.
Moisture-proof electrical components to ensure that the equipment operates in a dry environment.
Check the motor, transmission system and control system regularly, and replace worn parts in time.
Add or replace lubricating oil regularly according to the requirements of the equipment manual.
Use the equipment strictly in accordance with the operating procedures to avoid overload operation.
Make sure there is no residue in the mixing chamber before stopping to reduce the risk of blockage.
Place the equipment in a dry and ventilated place to avoid the impact of moisture on the electrical system.
In a dusty environment, increase protective measures and clean the equipment regularly.
Provide professional training for operators to improve the level of equipment operation and daily maintenance.
Emphasis on troubleshooting methods to avoid greater losses due to misoperation.
Choose parts with reliable quality to reduce the failure rate of equipment.
Check regularly whether the accessories meet the equipment requirements to prevent problems caused by mismatched accessories.
The failure of the feed mixer to start is a common equipment problem, but the normal operation of the equipment can be quickly restored through scientific investigation and solutions. In daily use, attention should be paid to maintenance and correct operation to reduce the occurrence of failures. Mastering the basic working principles of the equipment and the methods for handling common problems can not only improve production efficiency, but also extend the service life of the equipment. For major failures, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment.
