As a production manager or machine operator in the edible oil industry, you know that downtime isn’t just costly—it disrupts your entire workflow. According to a 2023 industry survey by Food Engineering Magazine, nearly 42% of plant shutdowns in oil mills are caused by preventable hydraulic system failures. The good news? Most issues can be identified early and resolved quickly—with the right knowledge and tools.
Start with these three critical checks every shift:
| Common Fault | Likely Cause | Quick Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure fluctuates | Air in the system or clogged filter | Bleed air from lines; clean or replace filter cartridge |
| Slow piston movement | Low oil level or internal leakage | Top up oil; inspect cylinder seals |
| Oil leakage at joints | Worn O-rings or loose fittings | Replace O-rings; tighten connections using torque specs |
“We used to lose 3–4 hours per week due to unexpected press stoppages. After implementing a structured maintenance plan based on our supplier’s guide—and switching to an easy-access design—we reduced unplanned downtime by 70%.”
— Rajiv Mehta, Operations Lead, Gujarat Edible Oil Co., India
Some presses are built to last—but only if they’re designed for real-world conditions. For example, our clients report that the Penguin Group Easy-Maintenance Hydraulic Press reduces service time by up to 40% compared to traditional models. Why?
And when something does go wrong, having reliable support makes all the difference—not just in fixing it, but in preventing recurrence. Our team offers remote diagnostics via IoT-enabled devices and on-site training for operators within 24 hours of request.
