I. Maintenance of the Drive System:
The agitator used in a titanium reactor has specific speed requirements. The motor mainly drives the reducer to ensure the complete stirring process. For vertically installed reducers, it is essential to maintain proper lubrication, avoid vibrations or leaks, and ensure continuous normal operation. Daily maintenance and monitoring are critical.
During operation, vibrations in the reducer can occur due to the following reasons, which must be addressed promptly:
- Excessive load in the reactor or uneven feeding.
- Incorrect gear center distance or improperly controlled gear backlash.
- Gear surface machining precision not meeting the required standards.
If the reducer temperature rises above the standard during trial operation, common causes include:
- Shaft bending or deformation
- Too tight a fit between the sleeve and shaft
- Improperly controlled seals or packing
- Bearing wear or looseness
II. Maintenance of the Agitator:
The agitator is a critical component of the titanium reactor. During normal operation:
- Swinging of the agitator must be controlled within reasonable limits.
- The agitator should not reverse direction.
- Maintain proper clearance from internal components like coiled tubes, pressing tubes, and thermometer sleeves to avoid collisions.
Routine inspections of the agitator should include checks for:
- Corrosion, cracks, and deformation
- Bottom bearings or shaft bearing clearance
- Lubrication oil in intermediate bearings for contamination
- Tightness of bolts to prevent vibrations
III. General Maintenance Precautions:
- Operate the titanium reactor strictly according to relevant standards to prevent over-temperature or over-pressure situations.
- Ensure precise temperature control according to specifications.
- Prevent the superposition of thermal stress and internal pressure stress to avoid equipment deformation.
- Strictly control the mixing ratios to prevent violent reactions.
