What capacity can a coating drum handle?
Coating drum for fertilizer production line can handle capacities ranging from a few hundred pounds per hour to several hundred tons per hour.
What are the typical wear parts of a coating drum?
Wear parts for coating drums are similar to other rotating equipment: seals, support wheels/rollers, tires, thrust rollers, and internal components. As with any other type of rotating drum, it is important to maintain proper drum alignment and to address any wear on the tires and support wheels by grinding.
Preventing agglomeration and buildup should be addressed first and foremost through the design of the equipment. Engineers should limit the areas where material can jam and accumulate and carefully select the materials used in manufacturing. Drum liners can also help prevent buildup and protect the drum shell from corrosion and abrasion.
How do I choose the right coating drum for my application?
The following factors need to be considered when selecting a coating drum:
The nature of the material: This includes the particle size, fluidity, and chemical properties of the material.
Nature of coating: including viscosity, solid content, drying speed, etc. of the coating.
Production capacity: the required production capacity.
No, as the coating is usually applied as a finishing process and does not need to be separated or reduced in size after processing.
What are some common failures of coating drums?
Common failures of coating drums include:
Drum wear: Drums can wear out after prolonged use, resulting in uneven coating distribution.
Damaged bearings: Damaged bearings can cause the coating drum to rotate unevenly, affecting the quality of the coating.
Clogged nozzles: Clogged nozzles can lead to uneven coating spray.
