This article provides a detailed breakdown of the after - sales support plan for the multi - functional screw oil press, from installation and commissioning to full - scale production. It offers systematic guidance and practical solutions to the common difficulties that customers encounter during equipment installation, commissioning, and initial operation.
Proper civil engineering coordination is the first step in ensuring the smooth installation of the oil press. For example, in a medium - sized oil processing plant in Texas, the installation team found that the floor load - bearing capacity was insufficient during the pre - installation inspection. This led to a delay of nearly two weeks in the installation process and an additional cost of about $5,000 for floor reinforcement. To avoid such situations, it is essential to conduct a detailed site survey before installation. The floor should have a flatness error within ±5mm, and the load - bearing capacity should be at least 2 tons per square meter for large - scale oil presses.
Electrical wiring is a crucial part of the oil press installation. Incorrect wiring can not only damage the equipment but also pose a safety hazard. According to industry statistics, about 15% of oil press malfunctions are caused by improper electrical wiring. The wiring should follow the national electrical safety standards. For example, the grounding resistance should be less than 4 ohms. In a case in a factory in California, due to poor grounding, the oil press suffered from electrical interference, resulting in unstable operation and a 20% reduction in production efficiency.
The commissioning process is the key to ensuring the normal operation of the oil press. It includes no - load commissioning and load commissioning. During no - load commissioning, the equipment should run for at least 2 hours to check the rotation direction, vibration, and noise of the motor. In load commissioning, gradually increase the feed rate. For a 10 - ton - per - day oil press, start with a feed rate of 2 tons per day and gradually increase it to the rated capacity within 3 - 5 days. In a successful case in an oil mill in Florida, by following the standard commissioning process, the oil press reached its rated production capacity within a week, with an oil extraction rate 5% higher than the industry average.
Even with careful installation and commissioning, equipment abnormalities may still occur. A quick response mechanism is essential. Our professional team provides 24/7 remote support. In most cases, 70% of the problems can be solved remotely. For complex problems that require on - site support, our technicians can arrive at the customer's site within 48 hours in most regions of the United States.
Many customers have misunderstandings during the installation and commissioning process. For example, some customers start the equipment without proper lubrication, which can cause serious damage to the bearings. To avoid such problems, it is necessary to provide detailed pre - installation training to customers. In addition, during the installation process, regular communication between the installation team and the customer can help identify and solve potential problems in time.
Q: How long does the installation and commissioning of the oil press usually take?
A: For a standard 5 - ton - per - day oil press, the installation usually takes about 3 - 5 days, and the commissioning takes about 1 - 2 weeks.
Q: What should I do if the oil press has abnormal noise during operation?
A: First, stop the equipment immediately. Check if there are foreign objects in the press chamber or if the bearings are damaged. If the problem cannot be solved, contact our technical support team.
In conclusion, the installation and commissioning of the multi - functional screw oil press are complex processes that require careful planning and execution.
