You’re not alone if your small to mid-sized oil processing plant faces unexpected downtime during pressing or filtration. In fact, over 60% of operational losses in these facilities stem from poor monitoring practices—not equipment failure. Here’s how to turn that around.
In the oil extraction process, pressure and temperature are deeply interconnected. Too high a pressure without proper heat control can cause premature filter clogging—or worse, damage to the screw press mechanism. Conversely, low temperature slows down oil flow, increasing cycle time by up to 25%. A case study from a Nigerian palm oil mill showed that after implementing real-time parameter tracking (pressure at 4–6 bar, temp maintained at 75–85°C), their average production continuity improved by 38% over three months.
| Parameter | Optimal Range | Impact of Deviation |
|---|---|---|
| Press Pressure | 4–6 bar | Too high = filter blockage; too low = incomplete extraction |
| Oil Temp During Pressing | 75–85°C | Below 70°C = slower flow; above 90°C = quality degradation |
If you see inconsistent oil output or frequent filter changes, don’t rush to replace parts. First, check:
Don’t wait until something breaks. Follow this simple schedule:
When pressure spikes beyond 7 bar or oil flow drops below 80% of baseline, it’s time to act.
Use visual checklists + short video clips showing correct procedures. We’ve seen 70% faster onboarding with this method.
