The common failures that may occur in automatic xylitol chewing gum production line equipment and bubble gum making machine and equipment mainly include the following categories:

Raw material handling and mixing equipment failure

Mixer failure:

Failure causes: wear and tear of mixing paddle, motor failure, damage to transmission parts.

Solution: Regular inspection and replacement of mixing paddles, repair or replacement of motor and transmission parts.
Uneven mixing:
Failure causes: Insufficient mixing time, inappropriate mixer speed, inaccurate raw material proportioning.

Solution: Optimise the mixing time and speed, and control the proportion of raw materials accurately.

Extrusion and moulding equipment failure

Extruder clogging:

Failure causes: impurities in raw materials, improper temperature control leads to material sticking.

Solution: Strengthen the raw material filtration, strictly control the extrusion temperature, and clean the extruder regularly.

Forming defects:

Failure causes: wear and tear of moulding die, unstable moulding pressure, cooling system failure.

Solution: Replace or repair the forming mould, adjust the forming pressure, check and repair the cooling system.

Failure of cooling and conveying equipment

Poor cooling effect:
Trouble causes: cooling system failure, insufficient cooling time, improper conveyor belt speed.

Solution: Repair cooling system, adjust cooling time and conveyor belt speed.

Conveyor belt running or slipping:

Failure causes: conveyor belt tension is not enough, roller wear, material accumulation.

Solution: Adjust the conveyor belt tension, replace the roller, clean up the material accumulation.

Electrical component failure:

Failure causes: unstable power supply, cable aging, damaged electrical components.

Solution: check the power supply and cable, replace the damaged electrical components.

Control system failure:

Failure causes: PLC programme error, sensor signal abnormality, operation error.

Solution: check and correct PLC programme, replace or calibrate sensors, strengthen operator training.

Packaging Equipment Failure

Packaging material supply failure:

Cause of failure: running out of packaging materials, blockage of material conveying path, sensor failure.

Solution: Replenish the packaging material in time, clean the conveying path, check and replace the sensor.
Poor or broken sealing:

Failure causes: improper sealing temperature, insufficient sealing pressure, quality of packaging materials.

Solution: Adjust the sealing temperature and pressure, replace the qualified packaging materials.

Cleaning and hygiene issues

The equipment is not cleaned thoroughly:

Failure causes: cleaning procedures are not standardised, cleaning tools are not suitable, corners are difficult to clean.

Solution: Formulate and strictly implement cleaning procedures, use suitable cleaning tools, and regularly carry out comprehensive cleaning.

Through regular maintenance, timely investigation of the causes of failure and take appropriate measures to solve the problem, you can effectively reduce the incidence of chewing gum production line failures, to ensure the smooth progress of production.
