You’re not just operating a machine—you're making healthy oil for your family. That’s why proper maintenance isn’t optional—it’s essential. Whether you run a small farm or process seeds at home, knowing how to care for your sunflower oil press directly impacts both efficiency and peace of mind.
A well-maintained sunflower oil press can last up to 8–10 years with regular use—compared to just 3–4 years if neglected. According to industry data from the Global Agri-Processing Association, over 60% of early equipment failures are due to poor cleaning and lubrication practices. The good news? Most issues are preventable.
| Maintenance Task | Frequency | Impact on Efficiency |
|---|---|---|
| Clean residue after each use | Daily | +15% yield improvement |
| Lubricate moving parts | Weekly | Reduces wear by ~30% |
| Inspect filter plates | Monthly | Prevents clogging & downtime |
Start with dry, clean seeds—moisture reduces oil extraction by up to 20%. Preheat the press chamber for 5 minutes before loading. After pressing, immediately remove residue using our one-touch cleaning system—no tools needed. It saves you 15 minutes per session compared to manual scrubbing.
