Recently, the country has ushered in the first snow at the end of 2016. The weather is cold, and many customers called to ask how the oil press should be operated in oil mill project when it is cold. When we use the screw oil press, the working environment of the screw press also affects the oil output rate of the oil press. The room temperature of the machine room where we use the oil press should generally be kept at 15°C-20°C. Winter is the peak season for oil extraction and storage. In most parts of northern my country, the winter is cold and dry, and the average winter temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius. Therefore, when we start the press, we need to pay special attention to the operation of the oil press. Let's take a look at the specific matters needing attention in the operation of the screw oil press in winter.



Screw oil press used in winter

When the screw oil press is running in winter, we can put the processed raw material from the hopper into the press ...
... chamber of the mustard oil mill. Under the action of the screw thread rotation, the feeding end gradually advances toward the cake out end. The volume of each section in the press chamber is gradually reduced; and because the press screw thread continuously pushes the raw material into the press chamber, the product pressure is pushed backwards, compressing the raw material, and squeezing out the oil. When using a screw press to press oil in winter, before using the press, you should first prepare all auxiliary appliances and containers, and check and adjust the tightness of the transmission belt. Then turn on the motor, let the machine run idly for about 15 minutes, and check the speed of the screw shaft. The general speed should be around 33dmin. When idling, pay attention to the meshing of the gears in the gearbox and whether the sound is normal, and whether the bearing parts and the motor are normal. When the screw press is idling, the motor current should be about 3A. If the current is too high, stop and check immediately, and then start the machine after adjustment. When using a screw press to press oil in winter, the machine must first run dry for a while. After the machine runs normally, we can feed a small amount of oil evenly and slowly. This has an advantage, so that the machine can be bored and heated, and then observed Whether the pie situation is smooth. If it cannot be discharged smoothly, it may be because the gap between the cake outlet is too small, turn the adjustment handwheel clockwise. If the temperature is too low when using the screw press to press oil in winter, it will affect the oil yield and oil quality. Therefore, the room temperature of our oil press room should be kept at 15 ℃-20 ℃, and the moisture content of the oil should be suitable before pressing. Good moisture content is as follows: peanut 8%-11%, soybean 5%-8%, cottonseed 4%-6%, rapeseed 6%-8%.

In winter, when using the screw press to press oil, if you find that the cake is too much and too fast, turn the adjustment hand wheel counterclockwise until it works normally. Then slowly increase the feed amount to prevent uneven feeding and sudden increase in load, causing blockage. The working temperature of the palm oil machine when the screw press is used to press oil in winter. If the feed is dry, the temperature of the machine should be higher, and vice versa. The general machine tool greenhouse can produce oil at 60°C. You can start normal operation when you feel hot when touching the body shell with your hands.
