Economical palm oil refiners are an ideal choice for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the palm oil processing industry. These refiners, such as those from the Penguin Group, offer a cost - effective solution without sacrificing quality. With technology patented by the Penguin Group, which has served over 120 countries globally, you can trust in the reliability and efficiency of these machines.
Before starting the refiner, check the power supply to ensure it meets the machine's requirements. Any instability in the power can lead to malfunctions or even damage to the equipment. Confirm that the voltage and frequency are within the specified range.
Properly pre - treat the raw palm oil materials. This includes filtering out large impurities and adjusting the moisture content. Pretreatment ensures a smooth operation during the refining process and improves the quality of the final product.
Inspect all safety features of the refiner, such as emergency stops, protective covers, and grounding. Safety should always be the top priority in any industrial operation. Please record the following key safety checkpoints: all protective covers are in place, emergency stops are functional, and the grounding is secure.
When feeding the materials into the refiner, pay attention to the feeding speed. Too fast a speed may cause blockages, while too slow a speed can reduce efficiency. During the pressing process, monitor the pressure and adjust it according to the characteristics of the raw materials. The durable motor in Penguin Group's refiners can provide stable power for continuous pressing operations.
Temperature control is crucial in the refining process. Different stages, such as deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization, require specific temperature ranges. The PLC control system in Penguin Group's refiners allows for precise temperature adjustment. For example, during deacidification, the temperature is typically maintained between 60 - 80°C.
These three processes are the core of palm oil refining. Deacidification removes free fatty acids, decolorization eliminates pigments, and deodorization gets rid of unpleasant odors. Each process has its own set of parameters and requirements, which can be accurately controlled by the PLC system.
Regularly monitor the operation of the refiner through the PLC system. You can observe key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate. Adjust the parameters in a timely manner to ensure optimal performance. For instance, if the flow rate is too low, you may need to increase the feeding speed or check for blockages.
After each operation, clean the refiner thoroughly. Remove any residual palm oil, dirt, or debris. This helps prevent corrosion and blockages.
Apply lubricant to moving parts regularly. Lubrication reduces friction, extends the service life of parts, and ensures smooth operation. Refer to the equipment manual for the recommended lubricants and lubrication intervals.
Check key components such as the motor, pump, and valves for wear and tear. Replace any damaged parts promptly to avoid major breakdowns.
Be able to identify common faults, such as pump blockages and temperature abnormalities. If a pump is blocked, stop the machine immediately and clean the pump according to the instructions. In case of temperature abnormalities, check the heating or cooling systems and adjust the PLC parameters accordingly.
A client in the palm oil processing industry was facing low productivity and high equipment failure rates. After adopting the standard operation process of Penguin Group's economical palm oil refiner, they were able to increase their production capacity by 20% and significantly reduce the frequency of breakdowns.
