Spanner (Pana) for Agarbatti Making Machine

Spanner (Pana) for Adjusting Rocket and Die in Hub Set – Agarbatti Making Machine

1. Overview:

The spanner (pana) used for adjusting the rocket and die in the hub set of an agarbatti making machine is a crucial maintenance tool. It is specifically designed to provide proper torque and grip for loosening or tightening the bolts and nuts that secure the die assembly and the rocket (plunger) mechanism, which are essential for maintaining stick size, shape, and smooth feeding.

2. Function and Purpose:

• Rocket Adjustment: The spanner is used to align and tighten the rocket (plunger) that pushes the agarbatti paste through the die. Correct adjustment ensures uniform stick thickness and consistent feeding.
• Die Fitting: Helps in securely tightening the die plate and removing or replacing it when needed. This is especially important when changing stick size or design.
• Hub Set Alignment: Ensures the die and rocket are perfectly aligned within the hub set, avoiding jamming, breakage, or irregularities in stick formation.

3. Material & Build Quality:

• Material: Heavy-duty carbon steel or alloy steel.
• Finish: Chrome or black oxide-coated for rust resistance.
• Design: Thin yet strong jaws for fitting into tight spaces around the hub set. Long handle for better leverage during torque application.

4. Type and Size:

• Type:
  • Ring Spanner or Combination Spanner is most commonly used for hub set work due to better grip.
  • Open-End Spanner is used when quick access is needed or when the bolt is in a tight corner.
• Special Type: Some setups use a T-shaped spanner or custom tool depending on the model of the agarbatti machine (e.g., old Hung Tuan model or Indian clone versions).

5. Key Application Areas:

• Tightening or loosening rocket set screws.
• Adjusting the die placement and securing it within the hub.
• Aligning die and rocket to ensure proper extrusion without jamming.
• Routine removal of the die for cleaning or changing paste type.

6. Usage Instructions:

1. Turn off the machine before making any adjustments.
2. Use the correct spanner size to avoid damaging bolt heads.
3. Loosen the hub bolts to slightly shift the die or rocket as needed.
4. After alignment, re-tighten the bolts with even pressure to avoid misalignment.
5. Check manually by rotating the flywheel to ensure smooth motion without resistance.

7. Safety Tips:

• Do not over-tighten bolts, which can crack the die or misalign the rocket.
• Keep the spanner clean and free from oil or paste for better grip.
• Always double-check alignment before restarting allignment.
