In the palm oil primary processing industry, small and medium - sized farms and primary processing enterprises often encounter various challenges, such as complex equipment installation, high - difficulty operation, and maintenance issues. This article aims to provide comprehensive support for these users, covering the entire process from equipment installation to continuous operation.
Before installing the palm oil screw press, proper preparation is crucial. First, the installation space should be large enough, with a minimum area of 10 square meters for the small - sized model. The ground must be flat, with a level error of no more than 5mm per square meter to ensure the stability of the equipment. For power configuration, a three - phase power supply of 380V is required, and the cable cross - section should be at least 6 square millimeters to meet the power demand of the 5 - 10kW motor.
When starting the equipment for the first time, follow these steps. First, check all the connections to ensure they are tight. Then, add lubricating oil to the lubrication points as required. The oil level should reach the middle of the oil window. After that, conduct a no - load test run for about 15 - 20 minutes. Observe the operation of the equipment, and check for abnormal noises or vibrations. If everything is normal, start the load test run with a small amount of raw materials. Gradually increase the feeding amount until reaching the rated production capacity of 1 - 2 tons per day.
The small palm oil screw press crafted by Penguin Group features a high - strength iron structure. This design can withstand a pressure of up to 50 tons, making it highly durable. The iron structure also has good corrosion resistance, which is suitable for the humid and corrosive environment in palm oil processing. Moreover, it can adapt to frequent mobile operations, as it can be easily disassembled and reassembled within 2 - 3 hours.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to prevent blockages and extend the service life of the equipment. After each operation, clean the residual materials in the press chamber. Use a brush to clean the small gaps, and then rinse it with clean water. At least once a week, perform a deep cleaning of the entire equipment, including the screw shaft and the filter screen. For maintenance, check the wear of the key components such as the screw shaft and the pressing ring every month. Replace the worn parts in time to avoid major failures. It is estimated that proper maintenance can extend the equipment's service life by 2 - 3 years.
In case of equipment failure, here are some common troubleshooting methods. If the equipment has low pressure, check the hydraulic system for oil leakage, and the pressure gauge for accuracy. If the pressing efficiency is low, check the raw material moisture content, which should be controlled at about 10% - 15%. If there is abnormal noise, check the bearing for damage and the belt for looseness.
