How to do the sludge screw pump can not turn

Sludge screw pumps are important equipment for handling sludge, slurries and other media, but in the course of use, sometimes the pump head will not turn. This problem may be caused by a variety of factors, the following will introduce some possible reasons and their corresponding solutions.
Equipment aging is a common cause of sludge screw pumps not turning. Prolonged use may have worn or deformed the pump head, resulting in a less precise fit with other components. At this point, consider replacing the pump head or corresponding parts to restore its normal operation.
Bearing failure is also an important factor that causes the pump head to fail to rotate. Sludge screw pump pump head rotation needs to rely on the bearing supported on the shaft, if the bearing is damaged or worn leading to deformation, it will affect the normal rotation of the pump head. In this case, you need to check the wear of the bearings and replace or repair the damaged bearings in time.
Insufficient lubrication can also cause the sludge screw pump head to rotate. The pump head needs lubricant to maintain a proper coefficient of friction, and if there is a lack of lubrication, the pump head will generate too much heat, which will lead to deformation or jamming. Therefore, it is necessary to refill the lubricant regularly and pay attention to selecting the appropriate viscosity.
In addition, foreign matter blockage is also a common reason why the pump head of sludge screw pumps cannot rotate. Sludge screw pumps are susceptible to interference from foreign matter when transporting sludge, slurry and other media. If the foreign matter entering the pump is large, it will jam the pump head so that it cannot turn. In order to avoid this situation, the pump body and conveying pipeline need to be cleaned regularly to ensure that no larger foreign matter enters the pump.
In addition to the above reasons, the sludge screw pump does not turn may also be related to the power supply situation, the motor itself and the working environment and other factors. When solving this kind of problem, it is necessary to check the power supply situation to make sure that the voltage is stable and the three-phase power supply is balanced; at the same time, it is necessary to check whether the connection of the motor is correct and whether there is any short-circuit in the stator winding. In addition, we also need to pay attention to whether the working environment is suitable, such as whether the ambient temperature is too high, and whether the motor winding is damp or dust attached.
In short, the sludge screw pump can be caused by a variety of factors. When solving the problem, it is necessary to investigate and repair according to the specific situation. In order to ensure the stable operation of the equipment, it is recommended to check and maintain the sludge screw pump regularly, and find and solve problems in time. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to standardized operation in the operation process to avoid unnecessary damage and failure.
