Are you running a small-to-medium oil processing plant and struggling with inconsistent output or high energy costs? You're not alone. Many operators overlook the critical link between raw material prep, machine settings, and real-time adjustments—leading to suboptimal performance from their ZY24 (202–3) continuous screw oil press.
Before even turning on the press, ensure your feedstock is properly conditioned. For example:
“The best screw press in the world can’t compensate for poor input quality.” – Dr. Lin Wei, Former R&D Lead at China Agricultural Machinery Research Institute
| Oil Type | Ideal Pressure (MPa) | Recommended Temp (°C) | Avg. Yield Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peanuts | 2.5–3.0 | 85–95 | +8–12% |
| Canola | 2.0–2.5 | 75–85 | +10–15% |
| Sunflower | 2.2–2.8 | 80–90 | +7–11% |
You may have noticed that many operators run the same settings across all oils — big mistake. Adjusting these parameters based on oil type isn’t just good practice—it’s how you get consistent, premium-grade oil every batch.
For the ZY24 model:
Pro tip: Monitor the cake thickness exiting the press — if it’s too thin (< 5mm), you’re likely over-pressing. If too thick (>15mm), your feed might be too coarse or moisture too high.
Have you ever seen a press run smoothly one day, then suddenly drop yield the next? It's often due to unnoticed wear on the screw blades or misaligned bushings — common issues we’ve helped dozens of clients fix through simple monthly checks.
Don’t wait until the press fails — schedule a 30-minute daily check: inspect for metal debris, clean the screen mesh, and verify lubrication levels. These steps alone can extend equipment life by up to 3 years and prevent costly downtime.
If you’re serious about maximizing efficiency, reducing waste, and improving product consistency — it starts with understanding how each variable interacts. The ZY24 screw press is powerful, but only when operated intelligently.
