How should a packaging machine be designed for dusty production environments?
• Use IP65 or higher enclosure with positive-pressure purge on the electrical cabinet to prevent dust ingress and shorts.
• Seal bearings and guides or fit bellows; avoid oil lubrication in dust zones, use self-lubricating or grease-sealed parts.
• Add dust hoods and negative-pressure extraction ports sized for 0.5-1 m/s capture velocity at dust sources.
• Fit flexible connectors and labyrinth seals at hoppers and discharge points to contain dust and prevent backflow.
• Build the frame in 304 stainless steel with ≥60° slopes and Ra≤0.8 μm surfaces to avoid dust buildup and ease cleaning.
