Common faults and solutions of vacuum emulsifier

Vacuum emulsifiers are key equipment used in the production of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food and other industries to produce products such as creams lotions, suspensions and more. Its efficient mixing, homogenization, emulsification and vacuum degassing processes ensure that products have a delicate and stable texture. However, long-term operation, vacuum emulsifiers can encounter various fault issues. Here, with more than 20 years of experience in the production, design and research and development ofulsifiers, Jinchong Enterprise will introduce common faults and their solutions in detail, to help operators quickly troubleshoot faults and ensure production efficiency and product quality.

Fault one: Abnormal stirring system

　　Phenomenon: Unstable stirring speed, stirring shaft jamming or abnormal noise.

　　Cause analysis: Motor fault, gearbox damage, poor alignment of stirring shaft, worn or deformed impeller.

　　Solution:

　　Check the motor and gear, replace if damaged. Adjust the alignment of the stirring shaft to ensure correct installation. Replace worn impellers to maintain the integrity of the stirring system.

Fault two Insufficient vacuum

　　Phenomenon: The vacuum pump cannot reach the set vacuum, the vacuuming time is too long or cannot vacuum.

　　Cause analysis:uum pump fault, damaged seal ring, leakage in the system, blocked filter.

　　Solution:

　　Maintenance vacuum pump, replace if necessary. Replace aged or seal ring. Check and repair all possible leakage points. Clear or replace blocked filters.

Fault three: Heating system not working

　　Phenomenon: Heating is slow or cannot heat up to the set temperature.

　　Cause analysis: Heating element damaged, thermostat fault, circulating water system problem.

　　Solution:

　　Check and replace the damaged heating element. Debug or replace the faulty thermostat. Ensure the circulating water system is unobstructed, and adjust the flow rate and temperature as appropriate.

Fault four: Homogenization effect is not good

　　Phenomenon: The product particle size is large and the uniformity is poor.

　　Cause analysis: Homogenization head wear, inappropriate speed setting, insufficient material pre-processing.

　　Solution:

　　Check and replace the worn homogenization head. Adjust the speed to an appropriate range and optimize it according to the material characteristics. Strengthen the pre-processing of materials, such as properly heating, dissolving, or sieving raw materials.

Fault Five: Control System Failure

　　Phenomenon: The operation interface does not respond, parameter settings cannot be saved or executed incorrectly.

　　Cause Analysis: Software fault, hardware damage, loose line connections.

　　Solution:

　　Restart the system, check if the software needs to be or reinstalled. Check and replace damaged hardware components. Tighten all line connections to ensure stable signal transmission.

　　Conclusion

　　The efficient operation of the emulsifier is crucial for ensuring product quality. Facing the above common faults, timely and accurate diagnosis and scientific and reasonable maintenance are key. Operators should regularly maintain the equipment reduce the incidence of faults, while also strengthening their learning of equipment principles and maintenance knowledge, in order to deal with emergencies and ensure the smooth progress of production. When dealing with complex, it is recommended to contact professional technicians for guidance or direct on-site service, to avoid greater losses caused by improper operation.
