Plastic pipes, tubing, fences, deck railing, window frames and wire insulation; everyday products that you probably completely take for granted, without thinking for a moment where they come from or how they are produced. Well, the process of plastics extrusion probably played a part in their production -- that is the process which sees raw plastic melted before being formed into a continuous structure and to carry out this task you will need a working extrusion machine.
Instructions
1.Check that the power is switched on to your machine before considering any other problems. Ensure the power unit is connected to the extruder as well as a power source and make sure that power source is switched on.
2.Allow the barrel to come up to working temperature, without passing any plastic through it. This will allow any residue from the previous use -- although it really should have been cleaned after use -- to melt away. This residue can sometimes cause the drawing machine not to run properly.
3.Look to see whether there is oil present in the gearbox. This could be an indication that the oil pump has been turned off or the gear box may have overheated -- issues which can cause the extruder to shut down.
4.Make sure there is a proper supply of water getting to the gearbox. For this, the water pump must be on to cool the oil in your gearbox; if it isn't, then you risk the entire unit overheating and subsequently shutting down.
5.Reset the torque converter before restarting the extruder if maximum torque is reached. This is another fault which will cause the extruder to automatically shut down.
