In today's competitive edible oil processing industry, small to medium-sized oil mills face significant challenges in meeting production demands while controlling labor costs. A typical 5-10 ton/day capacity oil mill often requires 6-8 workers to operate traditional batch processing equipment, with production interruptions averaging 25 minutes per hour for material handling and machine adjustments. This is where continuous screw oil press technology has emerged as a game-changer, offering a path to enhanced automation and operational efficiency.
Industry data shows that manual feeding and batch processing result in:
These challenges prompted 企鹅集团 (Penguin Group) to develop the ZY24 (202-3) continuous screw oil press, specifically engineered to address these pain points for small to medium operations.
The ZY24 model incorporates three key technological advancements that differentiate it from conventional presses:
Featuring a 4-stage variable pitch screw design, the press creates increasing pressure from 8 MPa to 28 MPa along the processing chamber. This gradual compression ensures optimal oil extraction while minimizing residue in the meal, typically achieving extraction rates of 92-96% for most oilseeds.
The automated control panel maintains precise temperature control (±2°C) and adjusts feeding speed based on real-time pressure monitoring. This results in consistent processing parameters and allows one operator to manage up to three machines simultaneously.
| Performance Metric | Traditional Batch Press | ZY24 Continuous Press | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Processing Capacity (tons) | 3-5 | 8-12 | +167% |
| Labor Requirement (per shift) | 4-5 workers | 1-2 workers | -75% |
| Energy Consumption (kWh/ton) | 18-22 | 12-14 | -33% |
| Oil Extraction Rate | 85-88% | 92-96% | +9% |

A medium-sized oil mill upgraded from batch processing to the ZY24 continuous press and reported:
To maximize the performance of continuous screw oil presses, industry experts recommend:
Maintain optimal moisture content: 8-10% for rapeseed, 6-8% for peanuts, and 9-11% for soybeans. Proper cleaning reduces wear on screw components by up to 40%.
Adjust screw speed according to oilseed type: 45-55 rpm for peanuts, 55-65 rpm for rapeseed, and 40-50 rpm for sunflower seeds.
Daily: Check oil levels and clean residue. Weekly: Inspect screw wear. Monthly: Replace wear parts and calibrate temperature sensors.
