LLDPE startup procedure
Problem Phenomenon
After starting up following several days of shutdown, gel yellow spots appear on the film
Cause Analysis
Oxidation of retained material during shutdown; when troubleshooting on site, verify item by item according to this mechanism to avoid blindly adjusting the machine based only on experience; this mechanism has been repeatedly verified by industry data and should be confirmed first during troubleshooting
Solution
Purge before startup; discharge at low speed until normal; first-piece inspection; after adjustment, continuously sample to verify the effect, and resume mass production only after confirming stability; change only one variable at a time and record parameter changes to facilitate locating effective measures
Key Takeaway
When restarting after a shutdown, discharge residual material first; after confirming effectiveness, fix the parameters and practices into the work instruction to prevent recurrence; include this case in the defect archive as a reference for troubleshooting similar problems in the future
