What Are Auxiliary Tools?
Auxiliary tools are essential support equipment used to enhance the performance and efficiency of primary machinery or processes. These tools play a crucial role in various industrial applications by ensuring smooth operations and improving overall productivity. Here are some key examples of auxiliary tools:
1. Drying Equipment
Drying equipment helps remove moisture from materials, ensuring they are in optimal condition for further processing. For instance:
- Hot Air Dryers: Essential for drying plastic resins to prevent moisture-related issues during processing.
2. Material Loading Systems
Material loading systems automate the handling and transfer of materials, which helps in maintaining efficiency and reducing manual labor. Examples include:
- Vacuum Hopper Loaders: These systems automatically load materials into processing machines, improving productivity.
3. Blending and Mixing Equipment
Blending and mixing equipment ensure the proper combination of materials for consistent and high-quality production. Examples are:
- Gravimetric Blenders: These devices provide accurate and consistent mixing based on weight.
- Vertical Batch Colour Mixers: Used for effective blending of colored materials in the production process.
4. Cooling Systems
Cooling systems maintain the appropriate temperature for various industrial processes, which is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Examples include:
- Water Cooled Screw Chillers: These chillers efficiently cool down processes and equipment.
- Mold Temperature Controllers: They regulate the temperature of molds during the plastic molding process.
5. Size Reduction Equipment
Size reduction equipment is used to decrease the size of materials, making them easier to handle and process. For example:
- Flake Cutters: These tools are used to cut plastic into smaller, manageable flakes.
6. Environmental Control Devices
Environmental control devices manage the environmental conditions within industrial settings to ensure product quality and safety. Examples include:
- Dehumidifiers: These devices control humidity levels to prevent issues such as mold and ensure consistent product quality.
7. Dosing Systems
Dosing systems provide accurate measurement and delivery of materials, essential for consistency in production. For example:
- Volumetric Feeders: These systems ensure precise dosing of materials for various processes.
