Q：Can you help us build the silo storage system for the oil plant?

Q：If we build the silo storage for the oil plant, do we need the dryer or not?
A：It depends on the moisture of your oil seeds. If the moisture of oil seeds you collect is higher than 12.5%, a drying system is necessary before the seeds enter the silo. If less, it may be omitted.

A：Usually, it may be corrected by checking that the ordinary operational procedures are followed as is stated in the manual. Secondly, check if the steam cooked flake is in good condition or not.

Q：When the heated flakes become too dry, what is the problem?
A：When the heated flakes become too dry, it may be due to the following abnormal phenomena:
1. Cake at the discharge end brakes and cannot be shaped into tiles.
2. The electric motor is overloaded.

Note: Never allow the phenomena to last long. It will lead serious damage.
