Agricultural screw press is a kind of mechanical equipment widely used in the agricultural field to extract oil or juice from various plant raw materials. Its working principle is to squeeze the raw materials through the rotation of the spiral to separate the oil or juice. This article will introduce in detail the characteristics of the agricultural screw press, including its working principle, advantages, scope of application, maintenance, etc., to help readers better understand and utilize this important agricultural machinery and equipment.

1. Working principle

The working principle of agricultural screw presses is based on the application of mechanical pressure. Its main components include screw shaft, hopper, pressing chamber and slag discharge port. The working process is as follows:

Raw material feeding: Put the plant raw materials to be processed into the hopper and send them to the pressing chamber through the conveyor system.

Pressing process: Once the raw material enters the pressing chamber, the screw shaft begins to rotate, pushing the raw material forward and exerting mechanical pressure. This process squeezes the oil or juice out of the ingredients and separates them.

Separation and sedimentation: After pressing, the oil or juice is separated from the solid residue. Usually, these materials will be discharged separately through the slag discharge port.

Collecting oil or juice: The separated oil or juice will be collected and stored through the corresponding collection system.

2. Characteristics

Agricultural screw presses have many unique features that make them an indispensable tool in agricultural production:

1. High efficiency: The screw press can achieve high efficiency extraction of oil or juice. Its mechanical pressure can fully squeeze the raw materials and maximize the output.

2. Versatility: This machine can handle many different types of raw materials, including soybeans, peanuts, rapeseed, olives, apples, grapes, etc., with a wide range of applications.

3. Low energy consumption: Compared with other extraction methods, screw presses can usually achieve high output with low energy consumption, reducing production costs.

4. Simple operation: Operating a screw press is relatively simple and does not require complex training or skills. Farmers and agricultural workers can easily use this equipment.

5. Maintain raw material quality: Since mechanical pressure does not introduce chemicals or high temperatures, screw presses help maintain the natural quality and taste of raw materials.

6. Controllability: Users can control the extraction process by adjusting the rotation speed and mechanical pressure of the spiral to meet the requirements of different raw materials.

7. Easy maintenance: Screw presses usually consist of a small number of detachable parts and are easy to maintain and clean.

8. Environmental protection: Compared with some chemical extraction methods, mechanical pressure extraction is more environmentally friendly and reduces the negative impact on the environment.

3. Scope of application

Agricultural screw presses are widely used in the agricultural field and are suitable for the following aspects:

1. Oil processing: used to extract edible oil from soybeans, peanuts, rapeseed, olives and other oils.

2. Juice processing: used to extract juice from fruits such as apples, grapes, oranges, etc., for beverage or jam making.

3. Plant extract production: It can be used to extract active ingredients in plants, such as pharmaceutical ingredients in medicinal plants.

4. Animal feed production: used to prepare animal and vegetable oils and added to animal feed.

5. Kitchen waste treatment: It can be used to extract useful grease from kitchen waste to achieve resource recycling.

4. Maintenance

In order to ensure the normal operation of the agricultural screw press and extend its service life, regular maintenance work is required:

Cleaning: Regularly clean all parts of the machine, especially the press chamber and screw shaft, to prevent the accumulation of raw material residues.

Lubrication: Keep the machine lubricated and ensure that the screw shaft and bearings are in good working condition.

Check worn parts: Check the screw shaft, bearings, sealing rings and other parts regularly. If they are worn or damaged, they should be replaced in time.

Adjustment and calibration: According to the characteristics of different raw materials, the parameters of the machine are regularly checked and calibrated to ensure optimal work efficiency.

Safety inspection: Regularly check the machine's safety devices to ensure the safety of operators.

In conclusion

As an important agricultural machinery and equipment, the agricultural screw press plays an irreplaceable role in agricultural production. Its high efficiency, versatility, low energy consumption and environmentally friendly features make it popular. However, during use, reasonable maintenance is the key to ensuring long-term stable operation of the machine. By understanding its working principle, characteristics and scope of application, and taking appropriate maintenance measures, farmers and agricultural practitioners can make better use of agricultural screw presses, improve the efficiency of agricultural production, and contribute to the development of the rural economy.
