Brief Discussion on Oil Press Machine
Oil press machine, as a device for extracting vegetable oil from plant raw materials, is important in the modern oil industry. SIMEC will conduct a popular science discussion on the functionality of oil press, aiming to briefly introduce its working principle, classification and application.
Application of oil press machine
Oil press machines are widely used in pressing various oil crops, such as soybeans, peanuts, cottonseeds, rapeseeds, and sesame seeds, etc. Through advanced technology and design, they achieve efficient pressing, improving oil yield. Equipped with automatic control systems, they ensure the stability and safety of the pressing process, while emphasizing energy conservation and environmental protection. These machines utilize low energy consumption and exhibit high efficiency.
Oil press machines can also equip the functions of impurity removal, refining, filtration, etc., to achieve integrated production and improve production efficiency and product quality.
Classification of oil press machine
Oil pressing machines can be divided into many types according to their structure and pressing methods. Common ones include screw oil press machine, hydraulic oil press machine, etc. These different types of oil pressing machines have their own characteristics in pressing efficiency, oil yield, application scope, etc., and can meet the pressing needs of different oil crops.
Screw oil press machine works by physically pressing pre-treated oil material. The material enters the pressing chamber via a hopper, where a rotating screw pushes it. The resulting high pressure generates friction, causing movement and heat. The screw’s design, with a gradually increasing diameter and decreasing pitch, enhances pressing efficiency and thermally denatures proteins, facilitating oil precipitation.
Hydraulic oil press machine adopts cold processing technology to extract oil. It provides 200-380 tons of vertical pressing force on oil material, but will not generate friction and heat. The oil material will not be heated, no temperature rise during oil extraction process, hence no protein denaturing, no nutrients loss. The continuous high pressure is generated by hydraulic station, controlled in automatic mode. The electricity consumption of oil extraction process is much lower than screw oil press.
Oil press machine in modern life
Oil press machines are widely utilized in modern life, not only in the traditional oil processing industry but also gradually in non-food industry fields such as pharmaceuticals and chemicals. At the same time, with people’s increasing attention to healthy eating, home use oil pressing machines have gradually become popular, so that people can make healthy and safe cooking oil at home.
Through continuous technological innovation and equipment upgrading, SIMEC oil pressing machine will further improve the pressing efficiency, oil yield and product quality, and provide more convenience and protection for people’s healthy diet and life. More and more fields of use can also be explored, if you have new ideas, you can also discuss with SIMEC, we’d love to make progress in communication.
