Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of polytetrafluoroethylene production, in particular to a granulator suitable for polytetrafluoroethylene production. Background Art

[0002] Polytetrafluoroethylene, also known as Teflon, is commonly known as the "king of plastics". It is a high molecular polymer made by polymerizing tetrafluoroethylene as a monomer. It has excellent heat resistance and cold resistance and can be used for a long time at -180 to 260°C. This material is resistant to acids and alkalis, and various organic solvents. It is almost insoluble in all solvents. At the same time, polytetrafluoroethylene has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and its friction coefficient is extremely low. Therefore, it can be used as a lubricant and has become an ideal coating for the inner layer of easy-to-clean water pipes. In the production process, a granulator is required to make it into polytetrafluoroethylene particles. After searching, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN219190869U discloses a polytetrafluoroethylene granulator. When it is used, the hot-melt raw material is transported to the solid plate through the granulator body, and the electric push rod is started. The electric push rod pushes the mounting seat and the servo motor to slide, and the servo motor drives the cutting knife to rotate, and the hot-melt raw material extruded from the solid plate is cut into particles, which fall into the square tube and the cooling tank through the groove. Internally, by starting servo motor 2 and servo motor 3 at the same time, servo motor 2 drives the rotating shaft and stirring blades to rotate, and the stirring blades drive the particles to rotate, thereby accelerating the flow of particles and reducing the temperature of particles. Servo motor 3 drives the fan blades to rotate, and external natural wind is delivered to the interior of the cooling tank to further dissipate heat for the particles, thereby avoiding waste of water resources and improving the cooling effect. However, the cut particles are directly dropped into the square tube and the cooling tank for cooling. This cooling method adds a subsequent air-drying operation with high energy consumption. At the same time, it is not convenient to screen particles of different sizes. Since the cut particles may be of different sizes, screening operations are required later. For this reason, a granulator is designed that can directly screen the particles and cool them while screening. The particles are not in direct contact with water during the cooling process, thereby avoiding the increase of subsequent air-drying operations due to direct contact with water, and reducing cooling energy consumption.

The granulator suitable for polytetrafluoroethylene production can directly screen the particles, and cool them while screening them. The particles do not directly contact water during the cooling process, thereby avoiding the increase of subsequent air-drying operation procedures due to direct contact with water, and reducing cooling energy consumption.
