External & Internal Gearbox Greasing

Fill up gear oil for the proper amount before The grease lubricators at each end of the Cone
operation. Check the oil level in unit with an oil Guide & End Section Assy should be checked to
level gauge. ensure that grease has been pumped in.
* Recommended : Gear Oil Grade VG 460 or equiv.

Covers of Machines Hydraulic System

Always ensure that all moving parts are properly The Hydraulic System should be checked to
& safely enclosed with covers ensure that it is perfectly clean and free from
foreign particles.

Abnormal Sounds & Vibration Check piston rod surface to ensure that grease
has been pumped in.

Ensure Hydraulic hose not have any leak.

Check the Hydraulic level in the tank.

During free-run (empty-load), ensure no

abnormal sound & vibration.
CAUTION AND IMPORTANT REMINDER

No Remark Safety Symbol / Sign

1 All Cover must be closed during

operation. Do not stand in front of the
machine while operating.
DO NOT STAND
IN FRONT OF
MACHINE WHILE
OPERATING

2 Do not operate machine in a manner

that exceeds its rating criteria, such as
increase its speed by changing pulley.

3 Use Appropriate ‘Personal Protective

Equipment’ while operating the
machine.

4 Never approach or touch any rotating

part.
Example :
- Gear Coupling
- Belt and Pulley

5 Caution some parts may be hot.

OPERATION PROCEDURES
START OPERATION
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1. Jog start the electric motor and check that
the direction of rotation is correct for the
pump as indicated by an arrow.
2. Loosen a bleed screw in the pump
discharge line to facilitate pump priming
and bleedings of air from system.
3. Operate the system manually at low
pressure (e.g. below 20 bar) to expel air.
Bleed points should discharge a steady
stream of fluid FREE from bubbles.
4. Allow the system to run-in for a period
(e.g. 15 minutes) at low pressure.
5. Re-check the fluid level in the tank.
6. Set pressure switch initially at 100 bar to
allow adjustment on relieve valve.
Resetting of switch is required after
adjustment on relief valve as mentioned
below.
7. Set relief valve at 70 bar and tighten lock
nut. No further adjustment is required.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel to
adjust this safety valve.
8. Reset pressure switch to 50 bar and lock
up the adjustment knob. At this stage, if
the electric panel is set at “auto” position,
the electric motor and pump should stop
when pressure reaches 50 bar as
indicated on the gauge. When pressure
decrease, the electric motor and pump
re-starts.
SCREW PRESS
1. Check that the Digester’s mash has bot
hardened overnight. Allow sufficient
digestion and warming up of Digester’s
mash (85°C). The Screw Press must be
run up before feeding the mash into the
Screw by opening the Digester’s discharge
door.
2. Before starting up, the pressure cones
should be manually operated to move in
to compact the press cake and slowly
move it outward to suit the mash
material to achieve low oil loss in fibre
and a compromised breakage of nuts.
3. Once the required dry press cake is
achieved, put the hydraulic system to run
“auto”, it will now be self-operating.
However, from time to time, the pressure
cone setting needs to be varied to suit the
Digester’s mash condition to achieve the
required oil loss and broken nuts level.
4. One to two turns of hot water should be
fed into the press cage. It may be
necessary to adjust the amount of hot
water to suit the Clarification Station.
OPERATION PROCEDURES
STOP OPERATION
FOR OVERNIGHT
1. Stop feeding of fruits into the
Digester and bring down its level.
2. Close the discharge door of the
Digester and move the pressure
cones to the maximum and allow
pressing of continue for a few
minutes.
3. Stop the motor and cut off the hot
water and power supply.
FOR LONG SHUT DOWN
1. Stop feeding of fruits into the
Digester and allow all remaining
mash to be discharged before
stopping it.
2. Move pressure cones out and if
maintenance is required on the
screw/cage, feed in nuts at the press
inlet to help clean the press cage
completely.
3. Stop the press as above.
TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOM POTENTIAL CAUSE SOLUTION

1) Ampere Reading a) Worm Screw wear & tears. a) Replace worm screw
- Higher than 45A b) Foreign metal b) Remove foreign metal

2) Machine Trip a) Insufficient current supply a) Plan current supply

b) Current exceed limit b) Control the amp. Reading
c) Pressing area jammed c) Dismantle and check

3) Pulley Belt Slip - Belt tension loose - Adjust motor mounting

4) Abnormal Sound at Bearing - Insufficient grease / - Check and top up if required
