As a small - and medium - sized farm owner or an executive of a palm oil pre - processing enterprise, you understand the importance of smooth operation of your palm oil processing equipment. The small palm oil screw press developed by the Penguin Group is designed to meet your specific needs. Let's explore its features, installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The small palm oil screw press has a high - strength iron structure, which ensures its durability and stability during long - term operation. It also supports multi - voltage adaptation, which means it can be used in different power supply environments. This makes it an ideal choice for small and medium - sized farms and pre - processing enterprises around the world.
Before installing the equipment, you need to plan the space carefully. The press requires a certain amount of space for normal operation. Generally, a space with a length of about 3 - 4 meters, a width of 2 - 3 meters is recommended. The foundation ground should be flat and firm to prevent vibration during operation. The power supply configuration is also crucial. You should ensure that the power supply meets the equipment's voltage and power requirements, usually 220V - 440V and power consumption between 5 - 10 kW depending on the model.
The first start - up of the press is critical. First, check all the connections to make sure there are no loose parts. Then, pour a small amount of lubricating oil into the relevant parts as required. When starting the equipment, pay attention to the running state of the machine. Slowly adjust the speed according to the operation manual. It usually takes about 1 - 2 hours of trial operation for the equipment to reach the best working state.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the long - term operation of the press. After each use, clean the residues in the machine to prevent blockage. For example, clean the screw shaft and the oil outlet once a week. You can use a soft brush and a cleaning agent to remove stubborn dirt. Replace the wearing parts regularly, such as bearings every 6 - 12 months. This can effectively extend the service life of the equipment and reduce the failure rate.
Low Oil Yield: If you notice a decrease in oil yield, first check the raw material. The moisture content of palm fruit should be between 20% - 30%. If the moisture is too high or too low, it will affect the oil yield. Then, check the clearance between the screw and the barrel. If the clearance is too large, the pressing effect will be affected. You can adjust the clearance according to the manual. Generally, reducing the clearance by 0.1 - 0.3 mm can improve the oil yield effectively.
Abnormal Noise: Abnormal noise may be caused by many factors. Check if there are foreign objects in the machine. If so, stop the machine immediately and remove the foreign objects. Check the fastening of the bolts and nuts. Loose parts can cause vibration and noise. Tighten all the bolts and nuts regularly, at least once a month.
