In 2024, Penguin Group introduced its advanced 10 - 500 tons/day palm oil pressing units, which are equipped with state - of - the - art automated control systems. These systems, especially the PLC control system, have brought revolutionary changes to the palm oil production industry.
The PLC system in the palm oil pressing units plays a crucial role in real - time monitoring and adjustment of key production parameters. For pressure, the PLC system can precisely maintain the optimal pressure range during the pressing process. If the pressure is too high, which may cause equipment damage, or too low, resulting in low oil extraction efficiency, the system will automatically adjust to ensure stable operation. Similarly, for temperature control, it can keep the temperature at an ideal level, around 80 - 90 degrees Celsius, which is beneficial for palm oil quality and extraction rate. As for motor speed, the PLC system can adjust it according to the production volume and process requirements, saving energy while ensuring productivity.
Automated systems significantly reduce human - operation errors. Manual operations are prone to inaccuracies due to fatigue, inexperience, or other factors. In contrast, the automated system can respond quickly and accurately. For example, in traditional palm oil production, the response time to a sudden change in pressure might be several minutes, while the automated system can react within seconds. This not only improves the continuity of production but also makes equipment maintenance more convenient. The system can detect potential problems in advance and provide maintenance suggestions, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Let's take a real customer case as an example. A palm oil production company in Southeast Asia installed Penguin Group's automated palm oil pressing unit. Before the installation, the energy consumption per ton of palm oil production was about 150 kWh, and the emission of waste gas was relatively high. After using the automated system for six months, the energy consumption per ton decreased to 120 kWh, a reduction of 20%. At the same time, the emission of waste gas was reduced by 15%. These data clearly demonstrate the significant energy - saving and emission - reduction effects of the automated system.
For production managers, they should focus on setting up reasonable production plans according to the capabilities of the automated system. They need to ensure that the system is used to its full potential while meeting production targets. Technicians, on the other hand, should be proficient in the operation and maintenance of the PLC system. Regular system checks, software updates, and data analysis are essential to ensure the long - term stable operation of the system.
The application of automated control systems in palm oil production is a significant step towards green and intelligent manufacturing. Penguin Group's automated palm oil pressing units, with their advanced PLC control systems, have proven to be highly effective in improving production efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and promoting environmental protection. If you are looking for a way to transform your palm oil production into a more efficient and eco - friendly model, explore Penguin Group's automated high - efficiency palm oil equipment today and join the wave of green manufacturing!
