Hand pressure accident is one of the most common safety hazards in bending machine operation. During operation, if the operator's hand or other body parts accidentally enter the bending area, there will be certain disability accidents.

2. Drop accident

The operator may frequently change the mold. During this period, if the mold is not fixed well, it will be easy to cause the mold to fall and hit the machine, which will not only injure the operator, but also damage the machine.

3. Equipment failure

If the equipment failure is not promptly checked and maintained, it will also cause injuries and major damage to the machine.

4. Electric shock accidents

If the Press Brake has been used for many years without maintaining the electrical system, electric shock accidents such as leakage may occur.

5. Operational errors

For CNC bending machines, if the operator does not understand the use of the machine system, the machine may fail due to misoperation, resulting in dangerous accidents.

 

The occurrence of bending machine accidents is usually related to the following factors:

1. The staff does not know how to operate the machine: Many bending machine accidents are related to the operator's lack of understanding and skills of the machine.

2. Safety protection measures are not in place: If there are no certain safety production protection measures, the risk of bending machine accidents will increase.

3. Improper equipment maintenance: Lack of regular equipment inspection and maintenance may lead to equipment failure.

4. Poor working environment: The messy and unsafe environment in the workplace will increase the probability of accidents.

 

Preventive measures

1. Sheet metal factories strengthen the training of sheet metal bending workers

We can regularly provide operators with safety awareness and training on bending machine operation to ensure that they are familiar with the operating procedures and safety precautions of the bending machine.

2. Improve safety protection

The machine can be equipped with a laser protection device, which will greatly increase the safe working environment of the bending machine operator.

Aluminum can recycling line generally consists of pre-shredder, shredder, hammer mill, magnetic separator, eddy current, middle feeding, decoating furnace, dust removal system.

 

If the raw material is mixed metal bale, first put the bale into pre-shredder for preliminary shredding; then convey the scrap metal to shredder through conveyor belt for further shredding. This can effectively protect the shredder blade. The scrap processed by shredder will be conveyed to hammer mill by conveyor belt. In hammer mill, the scrap will be processed into small pieces for later decoating. The magnetic separator will remove the iron impurities in the scrap by magnetic force. Then it will be conveyed to eddy current through conveyor belt. The eddy current separator will magnetize the scrap by electromagnetic induction principle. The eddy current itself will generate a magnetic field opposite to the original magnetic field, thereby ejecting the required scrap material and separating it from other non-conductive or weakly conductive materials. The final aluminum metal will go through the middle feeding, which can ensure that the material is uniform and continuously enters the decoating furnace for decoating treatment. The decoating furnace will be connected to the dust removal system for dust removal to solve the environmental protection problem of the operating environment.

 

We have recently sent two aluminum cans recycling lines to Russia and Malaysia. If you are interested in aluminum can recycling, please contact us.

Evaporators are essential components in many heat exchange systems, and spiral baffles play a unique role in allowing small evaporators to manage large heat loads effectively. By optimizing fluid flow and enhancing heat transfer, spiral baffles contribute to making even compact evaporators highly efficient.

What Are Spiral Baffles and How Do They Work?

Spiral baffles are specifically designed elements that create specialized flow paths inside the evaporator. When fluid enters the evaporator, the spiral baffle redirects it into a spiral flow pattern. Unlike traditional straight-line flow, the spiral path increases the turbulence of the fluid. This enhanced turbulence promotes better mixing of the hot and cold fluids, improving heat exchange efficiency. It’s similar to stirring coffee to dissolve sugar more quickly—better mixing leads to faster and more efficient heat transfer.

Why Does This Spiral Flow Improve Heat Transfer?

The spiral baffle design significantly extends the fluid’s path within the evaporator. In a small evaporator, this longer flow path ensures that the fluid has more contact time with the heat transfer surface. The increased contact time and surface area enhance heat transfer, allowing for more effective energy exchange between fluids. The longer flow path essentially “packs” more heat transfer into a smaller space.

Optimizing Flow Distribution for Maximum Efficiency

In addition to improving heat transfer through longer contact times, the spiral baffle helps optimize the flow distribution within the evaporator. In traditional evaporators, some areas may suffer from slow-moving or stagnant fluid, leading to inefficient heat exchange. Spiral baffles eliminate these dead zones by ensuring a uniform flow throughout the evaporator, allowing every part of the system to actively contribute to heat transfer.

The Impact on Performance

By modifying the fluid’s flow state, extending the flow path, and improving flow distribution, spiral baffles enable small evaporators to handle large heat loads. This design enhancement is invaluable in industries such as refrigeration and HVAC, where compact systems are required to operate at high efficiency despite their small size.

Key Benefits of Spiral Baffles in Evaporators

• Enhanced Heat Transfer:

The spiral flow increases turbulence, which promotes more efficient mixing and heat transfer.

• Compact Design:

Spiral baffles allow for greater heat exchange in smaller evaporators, saving space without sacrificing performance.

• Uniform Flow Distribution:

They reduce dead zones, ensuring that all parts of the evaporator contribute to heat exchange.

• Energy Efficiency:

The improved heat transfer reduces the need for large, energy-consuming systems, lowering overall operating costs.

• Adaptability:

Spiral baffles are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, from refrigeration to air conditioning.
