Factory Acceptance Checks for a Screw Oil Press
A buyer's guide to pass or fail checks for a screw oil press rated at 3.5–4 t per 24 h with a 7.5 or 11 kW main motor, covering capacity, motor verification, and acceptance test planning.
Before signing off a screw oil press for food processing, decide how you will verify the rated seed processing capacity of 3.5–4 t per 24 h and which main motor power, 7.5 or 11 kW, your order specifies. These two points should anchor the factory acceptance test.
Ask the supplier to state the oilseed type and condition used for any capacity demonstration, since throughput depends on the material. Will the test run continuously for a defined period, and how will seed input and output be weighed? Confirm whether the 7.5 or 11 kW motor is fitted as ordered and check the nameplate against the purchase specification.
Build a simple pass or fail list: the machine runs under load without abnormal noise or leakage; measured throughput over the agreed test period is compared with the 3.5–4 t per 24 h reference; the installed motor matches the specified rating. Ask what instrumentation and records the supplier will provide, and whether you may witness the run.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier the oilseed types and conditions the capacity figure refers to, which motor power is standard for your order, and what test records and acceptance criteria will be included.
