In the competitive landscape of small to medium-sized oil mills, managing diverse oilseed types while maximizing production efficiency remains a pivotal challenge. Operators often grapple with fluctuating oil extraction rates and limited equipment versatility, impacting profitability and market adaptability. The ZY24 (202-3) spiral oil press machine emerges as a robust solution tailored to these challenges, engineered to handle multiple oilseed varieties such as rapeseed, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and cottonseed with exceptional extraction efficiency.
One of the compelling advantages of the ZY24 (202-3) lies in its broad adaptability to various oilseed categories. This spiral press is engineered with advanced screw mechanism technology, offering continuous compression that maintains optimal temperature and pressure conditions. As a result, it achieves oil extraction rates generally ranging between 38% to 45% for harder seeds like rapeseed and up to 48% for softer seeds like peanuts under typical operating parameters.
This versatility eliminates the need for multiple specialized presses, consolidating processing lines and enabling mills to switch easily between raw materials to meet seasonality and market demand without compromising throughput.
The machine integrates two flexible operational modes: primary solvent immersion pressing and secondary pressing. The solvent immersion mode allows partial extraction aided by solvent application, enhancing oil yield from seeds with higher residual oil content. In contrast, the secondary pressing mode processes pre-pressed cake to extract remaining oils efficiently, often improving total oil recovery by an additional 5%-7%.
For example, mid-sized oil factories in Southeast Asia have reported a rise in overall oil yield from 38% to 44% after incorporating the secondary pressing mode, coupled with reduced residual oil in the meal, thereby increasing both product quality and revenue streams.
The multi-functionality of the ZY24 press empowers oil mills to adapt swiftly to changing market demands by enabling processing of multiple oilseed types without significant equipment overhaul. This flexibility not only diversifies product lines – allowing production of specialty oils like sunflower or cottonseed oil – but also amplifies competitiveness amid fluctuating commodity prices.
When juxtaposed with single-function presses, the ZY24 (202-3) delivers superior economic value by consolidating capabilities into one unit. This reduces initial capital expenditure, lowers maintenance complexity, and minimizes floor space demands. For instance, a mid-sized press setup replacing separate solvent extraction and secondary presses realizes up to 25% savings in equipment-related costs and a 30% reduction in occupied plant area.
Long-term operational costs also benefit from the streamlined design—lower energy consumption per unit of oil produced and simplified servicing mean enhanced return on investment.
Take for example a medium-sized oil mill in Eastern Europe, which integrated the ZY24 (202-3) spiral press in early 2023. Prior to adoption, their average oil extraction yield hovered around 39%, constrained by single-product presses. Within six months post-implementation, yields climbed to 45% across multiple oilseeds, accompanied by a 20% increase in production capacity. This translated into an estimated annual cost saving of €100,000, attributed to reduced downtime and lower solvent consumption.
Moreover, the ability to toggle between pressing modes enabled the mill to respond faster to customer demands for specialty oils, expanding their market share by approximately 15% in competitive segments.
