Lessons we learn on site visits
What can years of working alongside seed processors teach you? Oliver Regional Territory Manager Troy Jackson shares practical lessons about equipment maintenance, airflow, operator training, and the value of seeing a customer’s operation firsthand.
Deck cleaning tips
Proper deck cleaning helps maintain airflow, separation quality, and reliable equipment performance. This guide explains how to clean an Oliver gravity separator deck based on the severity of dust, product buildup, and airflow blockages.
Maximizing our customer’s gravity separation
Proper gravity separator adjustments can significantly improve product recovery and first-pass yield. See how Oliver helped a soybean processor reduce discard and rerun volume by optimizing airflow, deck movement, tilt, and discharge settings.
Clean out your gravity table with this simple guide
Proper gravity table cleanout helps remove residual product and prevent cross-contamination between batches. Follow this guide to prepare the machine, select a cleanout recipe, and run the automated three-step sequence from the HMI.
Routine maintenance saves time and money
Routine maintenance helps processors identify worn parts before they cause unexpected downtime. Learn how regular inspections, preseason planning, and timely repairs can protect equipment performance and keep production lines operating reliably.
