Practical Tutorial on Optimizing Soybean Oil Pressing Process: Precise Parameter Settings of Automatic Filtration System in Hot and Cold Pressing

In the realm of small and medium-sized grain and oil processing enterprises, the pursuit of high oil yield and purity in soybean oil production is a constant challenge. The automatic integrated soybean oil press with an oil filtration system from Penguin Group offers a revolutionary solution to these long - standing issues.

Understanding the Problem of Oil Loss

Before delving into the solution, it's crucial to understand the magnitude of the problem. Traditional soybean oil pressing methods often result in significant oil loss and high impurity levels. On average, small and medium - sized oil mills may experience an oil loss rate of up to 10% during the pressing process. This not only affects the profitability of the enterprise but also leads to a less pure end - product, which is less competitive in the market.

The Working Principle of the Automatic Filtration System

The automatic filtration system in Penguin Group's soybean oil press plays a pivotal role in optimizing both hot - pressing and cold - pressing processes. In hot - pressing, the system can precisely control the temperature and pressure to ensure maximum oil extraction. For instance, by maintaining the temperature between 110 - 120°C and the pressure at around 30 - 35 MPa, the oil yield can be increased by approximately 5 - 8% compared to traditional methods. In cold - pressing, the system works at lower temperatures (around 40 - 50°C) to preserve the natural nutrients and flavor of the soybean oil while still achieving a relatively high oil yield.

Fine - Tuning the Parameters: A Practical Guide

To fully leverage the automatic filtration system, it's essential to understand the key parameters and how to adjust them. Here are some practical tips:

Temperature Adjustment

As mentioned earlier, temperature is a critical factor in both hot - pressing and cold - pressing. In hot - pressing, starting with a lower temperature (around 90 - 100°C) and gradually increasing it to the optimal range can prevent excessive oxidation of the oil. In cold - pressing, maintaining a stable low temperature is crucial. A temperature fluctuation of more than ±5°C can significantly affect the oil yield and quality.

Pressure Control

Pressure also has a direct impact on oil extraction. In the initial stage of pressing, a lower pressure (around 15 - 20 MPa) can be applied to allow the oil to start flowing gradually. As the pressing progresses, the pressure can be increased to the optimal level. However, over - pressurizing can lead to the extraction of more impurities, so it's important to find the right balance.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Many oil mills make the mistake of neglecting the regular maintenance of the automatic filtration system. A clogged filter can reduce the efficiency of the system and lead to lower oil yields. It's recommended to clean the filter at least once every 10 - 15 production cycles. Another common mistake is not calibrating the system regularly. Incorrect calibration can result in inaccurate parameter settings, affecting the overall performance of the press.

Real - World Case Studies

Let's take a look at some real - world examples to illustrate the effectiveness of Penguin Group's automatic filtration system. A small - sized oil mill in Southeast Asia was struggling with an oil yield of only 18% using traditional methods. After installing Penguin Group's soybean oil press with the automatic filtration system, they were able to increase their oil yield to 23% within a month. Another medium - sized oil mill in South America reduced their oil loss rate from 8% to 3% after implementing the new system, resulting in a significant increase in their annual profit.

Three Key Techniques and Practical Tips

Here are three key techniques that can help you make the most of the automatic filtration system:

1. Pre - treatment of soybeans: Properly cleaning and drying the soybeans before pressing can improve the oil yield. Aim for a moisture content of around 10 - 12%.
2. Regular system inspection: Check the system for any signs of wear and tear, and replace any damaged parts promptly.
3. Operator training: Ensure that your operators are well - trained in using the automatic filtration system. A well - trained operator can make more accurate parameter adjustments and troubleshoot problems more effectively.
