In the realm of small and medium-sized oil mills, enhancing oil yield is a perpetual pursuit. The ZY24 (202-3) Screw Oil Press emerges as a game-changer, offering advanced technologies and optimization strategies to address common challenges such as low oil yield, high energy consumption, and unstable equipment efficiency.
The ZY24 (202-3) Screw Oil Press operates on a well - designed principle. As the screw rotates, it gradually compresses the oilseeds, forcing the oil out through the gaps between the press bars. This process is highly efficient, with the core technology ensuring a consistent and high - pressure squeezing environment. For example, the unique screw design can increase the pressure inside the press chamber by up to 30% compared to traditional models, significantly enhancing the oil extraction rate.
Raw material pretreatment is a crucial step that directly affects oil yield. Two key factors in pretreatment are moisture control and crushing particle size.
**Moisture Control**: Different oilseeds have optimal moisture levels for extraction. For example, for rapeseeds, the ideal moisture content is around 8 - 10%. If the moisture is too high, it can lead to a decrease in oil yield by up to 5% due to the formation of emulsions and difficulties in separation. On the other hand, if the moisture is too low, the oilseeds become brittle, and the oil cells may not be fully broken, resulting in a lower oil extraction rate.
**Crushing Particle Size**: The particle size of crushed oilseeds also plays a vital role. A suitable particle size allows for better contact between the oilseeds and the screw, facilitating oil extraction. For peanuts, a particle size of around 2 - 3 mm is recommended. If the particles are too large, the oil may not be fully released, while overly small particles can cause blockages in the press chamber.
**Press Chamber Pressure Regulation**: Adjusting the pressure in the press chamber is essential for maximizing oil yield. However, there are common misconceptions. Some operators may increase the pressure too quickly, which can lead to excessive wear on the equipment and a decrease in oil quality. A step - by - step approach is recommended. For example, start with a lower pressure of around 5 - 8 MPa and gradually increase it to 12 - 15 MPa as the oil extraction progresses.
**Temperature Management**: Maintaining the right temperature in the press chamber is crucial. The optimal temperature for most oilseeds is between 80 - 100°C. If the temperature is too low, the oil viscosity is high, and it is difficult to extract. If the temperature is too high, the oil may be oxidized, affecting its quality. Regular monitoring and adjustment of the temperature are necessary to ensure efficient and high - quality oil extraction.
Different oilseeds, such as rapeseeds, peanuts, and sunflower seeds, have unique characteristics, and the equipment parameters need to be adjusted accordingly.
| Oilseed Type | Screw Shaft Rotation Speed (rpm) | Press Bar Gap (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| Rapeseeds | 30 - 35 | 0.3 - 0.5 |
| Peanuts | 25 - 30 | 0.4 - 0.6 |
| Sunflower Seeds | 35 - 40 | 0.2 - 0.4 |
By adjusting these parameters, the press can achieve the best - fit squeezing for each type of oilseed, resulting in higher oil yield and better oil quality.
In conclusion, the ZY24 (202-3) Screw Oil Press, with its advanced technology and optimization strategies, provides a reliable solution for small and medium - sized oil mills to improve oil yield, reduce energy consumption, and enhance equipment efficiency. By mastering the key points in raw material pretreatment, press chamber pressure regulation, temperature management, and equipment parameter adjustment, oil mill operators can significantly increase their production benefits.
