Preventing and Troubleshooting Oil Delivery Issues

It may occur at times that the Bag-In-Box oil pumping system does not deliver oil to the kettle, or delivers it
in incorrect amounts. This section is intended to list the most common causes of these problems, and the
procedures necessary to prevent and, if necessary, correct them.
Oil Temperature – Coconut oil becomes a solid at temperatures above the average room temperature.
For this reason, it is necessary to ensure that the oil has been permitted to come to working temperature
before attempting to pump it through the system. If the machine has not been used for several days, the oil
master switch should be turned on the night before it is expected that the machine will be used. For
machines which are in daily use, even if not round the clock, leave the oil master switch on at all times,
and keep the base cabinet doors closed, to prevent the oil from becoming solid.
Bag-In-Box Mounting – Because the bag's dispensing connector is offset toward the bottom of the box, to
permit free oil flow and complete emptying of the oil from the bag, the box should never be mounted upside
down. Most boxes supplied will be clearly marked as to which side should be up during dispensing. (Note
that in some cases the box is intended to be stored with one side up, but to be turned and used in
dispensing with the other side up.) Be sure to double check to ensure that the box is mounted in the correct
dispensing orientation.
You may encounter boxes with no clear markings to indicate dispensing orientation. A reliable guide in this
case (and also for those boxes which are marked), is the direction that the top side flap of the corrugated
box is folded. When the box is properly mounted for dispensing, the top side flap will fold down from the top
edge of the box, so that if one were to attempt to separate the flap it would be necessary to pull up from the
bottom edge. See the illustrations below.
This edge is
seamless. The side
flap folds down
from this edge.
NOTE
The Bag-In-Box oil pumping system is NOT
designed to function when the bag has
been removed from the box. Service
results in such a situation are
unpredictable. Do not attempt to operate
the system with a bag which has been
removed from the box.

the side of the box toward the
middle, and the outer, top side
flap folded down to cover them.
