Efficient Spiral Oil Press Solutions: Elevating Yield and Oil Quality for SME Oil Mills

The ZY24 (202-3) spiral oil press is designed to tackle common challenges faced by small and medium-sized oil mills—namely low oil yield, high energy consumption, and inconsistent equipment efficiency. Leveraging continuous pressing technology, this solution integrates core process optimizations that enhance operational stability and oil extraction rates.

Understanding the Continuous Spiral Pressing Process

At the heart of the ZY24 (202-3) lies a continuous spiral pressing mechanism that gently yet effectively compresses oilseeds along a spiraled shaft. This process allows for sustained oil extraction under controlled pressure and temperature, optimizing both yield and oil quality. The continuous flow design reduces downtime and mechanical stress compared to batch presses, ensuring stable productivity.

Stepwise Approach to Raw Material Pretreatment

Optimizing raw material conditions is critical to unlocking maximum oil yield. Two key factors—moisture content and particle size—must be precisely controlled:

• Moisture Control: Ideal moisture content ranges from 6% to 8%. Excess moisture leads to clogged presses and poor extraction, while overly dry seeds may crack, reducing efficiency.
• Particle Size Adjustment: Uniform crushing to 1.5-2.0 mm diameter enhances surface area, facilitating efficient compression and oil flow without generating excess fines that clog the press.

Scientific Regulation of Press Chamber Pressure and Temperature

Maintaining optimal pressure and temperature within the press chamber is crucial. Data from field trials indicate:

Controlling these parameters minimizes mechanical stress and maximizes extraction efficiency, reducing residual oil below 6%, a benchmark for competitive processes.

Adjusting Key Equipment Parameters for Different Oilseeds

The ZY24 (202-3) offers flexibility through the adjustment of spiral shaft speed, press strip gap, and pressing segment distribution to accommodate varying seed characteristics. Practical configurations include:

• Rapeseed: Lower screw speed (~20 rpm) and narrower press strip gaps (0.4-0.5 mm) maximize yield by applying stronger compression on smaller seeds.
• Peanut: Medium screw speed (~25 rpm) with a moderate strip gap (~0.6 mm) to prevent kernel damage while ensuring sufficient pressure.
• Sunflower Seed: Slightly higher speed (~28 rpm) and wider gaps (~0.7 mm) to handle larger, oil-rich seeds without clogging.

Field data demonstrate that these parameter tweaks can boost oil yield by up to 8% compared to default settings.

Common Misconceptions and Practical Remedies

Industry experience reveals several frequent errors:

1. Assuming ‘higher pressure always equals better yield’: Excessive pressure leads to equipment vibrations, increasing maintenance costs without proportional yield gains.
2. Ignoring moisture content variation: Overlooking moisture fluctuations in raw materials disrupts pressing consistency.
3. Uniform parameter settings regardless of seed type: Inflexibility results in suboptimal outcomes across diverse oilseeds.

Implementing adaptive process controls and regular equipment parameter audits can effectively mitigate these pitfalls.
