For small and medium - sized grain and oil mills, long - term operational costs are a top concern. This article will take the 36 - month warranty of core components as the starting point to explore why automated palm oil processing equipment is becoming the preferred choice for overseas customers.
Let's first look at the disadvantages of traditional manual or semi - automatic equipment. According to industry data, traditional equipment has an average annual downtime of about 30 days, while automated equipment only has about 5 days. In terms of labor dependence, traditional equipment requires at least 5 operators per shift, while automated equipment can be operated by only 1 - 2 people. Regarding energy consumption, traditional equipment consumes about 20% more energy annually compared to automated equipment. These data clearly show the high cost of traditional equipment in long - term operation.
So, how can the core components such as gearboxes, motors, and control systems achieve a 36 - month warranty? It all comes down to material selection, manufacturing processes, and testing standards. For example, in gearbox manufacturing, high - strength alloy steels are used, which have excellent wear - resistance and load - bearing capacity. The manufacturing process adopts precision machining and heat - treatment techniques to ensure the stability of the gearbox. Strict testing standards, including high - speed rotation tests and load - bearing tests, are carried out before the product leaves the factory. All these technical details guarantee the long - term reliability of the core components.
The global after - sales network is of great practical value to overseas customers. In terms of parts response time, the network can ensure that critical parts are delivered to the customer within 48 hours in most regions. Remote technical support is available 24/7, allowing engineers to diagnose and solve problems in a timely manner without the need for on - site visits. Localized service coverage means that there are professional technicians in many countries who can provide on - site maintenance services. This comprehensive after - sales network significantly reduces the risk of production stoppages. For example, a small palm oil mill in Africa once had a problem with the control system. Thanks to the remote technical support and the fast delivery of parts, the mill only stopped production for 1 day, which would have been much longer without the global after - sales network.
To further enhance credibility, let's look at some real - life cases. An engineer from our company once shared his experience in Southeast Asia. He said that a medium - sized grain and oil mill there replaced their traditional equipment with our automated palm oil processing equipment. After 2 years of operation, the mill's annual operating cost was reduced by 30%, mainly due to the reduction in downtime and energy consumption. This real - life example shows the practical benefits of choosing our equipment.
Automated palm oil processing equipment, with its 36 - month warranty for core components and a global after - sales network, provides a reliable solution for small and medium - sized grain and oil mills to reduce long - term operating costs.
