In the production of coconut milk, screw press machines and hydraulic systems play a crucial role in the extraction process. The screw press is used to separate coconut milk from the coconut pulp by mechanically grinding and pressing the grated coconut.

This process requires high pressure to ensure efficient and maximum extraction. The hydraulic system supports the operation of the screw press by providing the necessary power to consistently press the grated coconut.

To enhance efficiency and productivity, it is essential to understand some common problems with this unit and their solutions.

1. Problem: Grease Hardens or Melts Easily, Frequent Bearing Replacement

Grease that hardens or melts easily can lead to more frequent bearing replacements. This issue arises because the grease used is either unstable or unsuitable for the operational conditions.

The impact is poor lubrication, which increases friction and wear on the bearings.
As a result, bearings need to be replaced more often, increasing maintenance costs and production downtime. The reliability and efficiency of the screw press and hydraulic system are also compromised. A suitable solution is required to address these issues.

Solution: LE Lubricant

LE Lubricant, also known as Lubrication Engineers, is the ideal solution for frequent bearing replacements due to grease hardening or melting. This specialized lubricant has good thermal stability and can operate under high pressure.

Its precise formula ensures that the grease remains in optimal condition at both low and high temperatures, preventing it from hardening or melting. By using LE Lubricant, bearing lubrication becomes more efficient and consistent, reducing friction and wear, and extending bearing life.

2. Problem: Frequent Oil Changes

In screw press and hydraulic systems for coconut milk production, a common issue is the need for frequent oil changes. This problem occurs because the oil degrades quickly, reducing its performance under heavy operational demands.

The impact is not only increased operational costs but also significant production downtime.

Eonchemicals offers a solution to this problem by using high-quality LE Oil.
