For small and medium - sized farms and primary processing enterprises, the proper installation and operation of the export - type palm oil screw press from Penguin Group are crucial for efficient palm oil production. This article offers in - depth guidance on the installation space requirements, power supply configuration, and maintenance of the equipment.
The first step in using the palm oil screw press is to ensure that there is adequate installation space. The equipment has specific size requirements. For example, the overall length of the machine is approximately 3 meters, the width is about 1.5 meters, and the height is around 2 meters. It is essential to have a flat ground. A deviation of no more than 5mm per square meter is recommended to prevent the machine from vibrating during operation, which could lead to premature wear and tear.
The environment around the installation area should also be suitable. It should be dry, well - ventilated, and free from excessive dust. This helps to extend the service life of the machine and ensures the quality of the palm oil produced.
The export - type palm oil screw press can operate on multiple voltage power supplies. The common voltage requirements are 220V, 380V, and 440V. When configuring the power supply, it is necessary to check the voltage stability. The voltage fluctuation should be within ± 5% to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment.
Before connecting the power, make sure that the grounding wire is properly installed to prevent electrical leakage. The power cable should have a sufficient cross - sectional area. For a 380V power supply, a cable with a cross - sectional area of at least 6 square millimeters is recommended.
During the first startup, the pressure calibration is a key step. The pressure should be gradually increased to the rated pressure, which is usually around 20 - 30 MPa for this type of screw press. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor the oil output. The normal oil output rate for palm fruits should be around 20% - 30% during the initial stage of operation.
It is also important to check for any abnormal noises or vibrations during the startup process. If any issues are found, the machine should be stopped immediately for inspection.
Regular cleaning is essential for the proper operation of the screw press. After each use, the residual palm pulp and oil in the machine should be cleaned. Use a soft brush and a cleaning agent to clean the inner parts of the press.
To prevent blockages, it is recommended to clean the filter screen at least once a week. Lubricate the moving parts regularly, such as the bearings and gears, to reduce friction and wear. This can significantly extend the service life of the equipment.
If there are abnormal noises during operation, it may be due to loose parts or worn - out bearings. Check and tighten all the bolts and replace the bearings if necessary.
If the oil output rate decreases, it could be caused by a clogged filter screen, improper pressure adjustment, or worn - out pressing parts. Clean the filter screen, recalibrate the pressure, or replace the worn - out parts to restore the normal oil output.

Q: What should I do if the machine stops suddenly during operation?
A: First, check the power supply to ensure that there is no power outage. Then, check for any blockages in the machine and the circuit breaker.
Q: How often should I replace the pressing parts?
A: It depends on the usage frequency. Generally, it is recommended to replace the pressing parts every 6 - 12 months for normal operation.
