Essential Guidelines for Daily Use and Maintenance of Oil Press Equipment

Pre-Operation Inspection

• Check all fasteners for tightness, especially those on the pressing chamber and feeding system
• Verify proper lubrication of transmission components
• Inspect electrical systems and emergency stop functions
• Ensure raw material meets recommended moisture content (typically 8-12% for most oilseeds)

Operational Standards

• Start the machine at no-load and gradually increase feed rate
• Maintain consistent feeding to prevent overload
• Monitor temperature parameters (ideal range: 120-160°C depending on oilseed type)
• Regularly check oil output quality and adjust pressing parameters accordingly

Low Oil Yield

Possible causes and solutions:

• Raw material issue: Check moisture content and particle size; adjust pre-treatment process
• Pressing temperature: Verify heating system operation; adjust to optimal temperature range
• Worn components: Inspect and replace worn press screws or barrel if necessary
• Pressure settings: Adjust pressure according to oilseed type and quality requirements

Abnormal Noise or Vibration

Immediate actions:

• Stop machine immediately and check for loose components
• Inspect bearings for overheating or damage
• Verify alignment of transmission parts
• Check for foreign objects in the pressing chamber

Uneven Feeding or Blockages

Solutions:

• Check for material bridging in the hopper
• Verify feeding mechanism operation
• Adjust feed rate to match machine capacity
• Inspect and clean any clogged discharge areas
