Small- to medium-sized agricultural farms and initial processing enterprises face unique challenges when selecting equipment for palm oil extraction — especially those requiring frequent relocation or compact operational footprints. The Penguin Group’s small-scale spiral oil press machine offers a tailored solution built for such environments. With simplified installation, user-friendly controls, and straightforward maintenance protocols, this robust machine combines advanced technology with practical design to maximize output while minimizing downtime.
The Penguin Group spiral oil press boasts a compact footprint of just 1.2 meters by 0.8 meters, allowing seamless integration into limited farm or workshop areas. Optimal spacing around the equipment (at least 50 cm clearance on all sides) facilitates safe operation and routine maintenance access. The machine operates on a standard 220V single-phase power supply, consuming approximately 2 kW per hour under full load.
Such low electricity demand aligns well with typical rural power grids and portable generators, a vital advantage for high mobility tasks. Understanding these parameters early aids in selecting appropriate sites and preventing unexpected operational constraints.
Upon installation, users should conduct a stepwise commissioning process to ensure all components function harmoniously:
Correct pressure calibration balances efficient extraction and equipment longevity, reducing the frequency of costly interventions.
Daily cleaning following each production cycle is critical for maintaining hygiene standards and preventing residue buildup. Recommended practices include:
Common operational issues such as reduced pressure output, overheating, or inconsistent oil flow have predefined remedies:
| Symptom | Probable Cause | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Low Oil Yield | Incorrect pressure setting or poor input fruit quality | Adjust spiral pressure; inspect and sort raw materials |
| Motor Overheating | Continuous overload or blocked oil outlets | Pause operation; clear blockages; allow cool-down |
| Irregular Oil Flow | Worn pressing screws or damaged seals | Replace worn parts as per maintenance schedule |
The Penguin Group spiral press features a high-strength iron chassis engineered to withstand the rigors of frequent relocation and on-site variations. Its dual cold and hot pressing options allow users to adapt according to palm fruit freshness and desired oil characteristics, enhancing flexibility in diverse operational conditions.
Such innovation significantly reduces wear and tear, extending overall machine life while optimizing operational consistency — vital for SMEs aiming at sustainable profitability.
Recognizing the critical importance of continuous production, Penguin Group provides comprehensive after-sale services including scheduled maintenance visits, remote diagnostic support, and rapid parts replacement. Through a dedicated online platform, operators can easily access training materials, detailed installation manuals, and troubleshooting guides.
This holistic approach ensures that even operators with limited technical backgrounds can confidently maintain peak operational efficiency.
