How to Ensure the Normal Operation of the Sunflower Oil Extraction Machine?

Sunflower oil is widely used for cooking, making it a lucrative industry for producers. To maintain a consistent supply of high-quality oil, it is essential to ensure the normal operation of the sunflower oil extraction machine. This article explores some key practices and maintenance tips to optimize the performance and longevity of the machinery.

1. Regular Cleaning and Lubrication:

Regular cleaning and lubrication of the extraction machine are crucial to its smooth operation. Oilseed residues and dust can accumulate over time, leading to machine malfunctions. Clean all parts of the machine, such as feed hoppers, seed conveyors, and extraction systems, using appropriate cleaning agents. Additionally, ensure that all moving parts are properly lubricated to reduce friction and prevent wear and tear.

2. Inspect and Replace Worn-out Parts:

Regular inspections are essential to identify any worn-out or damaged parts that need immediate attention. Monitor components like belts, gears, pulleys, and bearings for signs of wear or damage. Replace them promptly to avoid unexpected breakdowns and minimize downtime. DOING company will configure corresponding wearing parts according to the customer's needs when purchasing our sunflower seed extraction machines in the early stage. And the wearing parts will be shipped together with the sunflower seed oil extraction machine.

3. Calibration and Adjustment:

A properly calibrated sunflower oil extraction machine ensures accurate output and prevents unnecessary wastage. Pay attention to parameters such as temperature, pressure, and extraction rate to maintain optimum efficiency. Make necessary adjustments, such as altering feed rates, to adapt to different seed varieties or changing environmental conditions. Regularly monitor and adjust the settings for optimal performance.

DOING company produces different sunflower oil pressing machines, including two types with automatic temperature control, which can automatically adjust the temperature, ensure that the loss of the machine is reduced, and can also increase the oil yield.

4. Operator Training:

Well-trained operators play a vital role in the smooth functioning of the extraction machine. Conduct comprehensive training programs to educate operators about the machine's features, controls, and maintenance requirements. Train them to identify potential issues, troubleshoot problems, and conduct routine inspections. Well-informed operators can take appropriate actions promptly, minimizing the risk of significant breakdowns.

DOING company can provide free operating training for our customers. After the shipment or the installation, we usually provide training on the operation of sunflower oil extraction machines for our customers online or on-site.

5. Preventive Maintenance Schedule:

Implementing a preventive maintenance schedule is essential to prevent major breakdowns and extend the machine's lifespan. Create a maintenance checklist specifying tasks such as cleaning, lubrication, parts inspection, and calibration. Follow the designated schedule strictly, ensuring all maintenance tasks are completed on time. Regular maintenance reduces the chances of unexpected failures and can save substantial costs in the long run.

In addition, the sunflower oil extraction line machines provided by DOING Group are specially designed with a sunflower seed pre-treatment machine - a magnetic separator, which can effectively clean screws, metal and other impurities in sunflower seed raw materials, to avoid these metal impurities from causing damage to the sunflower oil extraction machines.
