Choosing our Industrial Soy Bean Oil Press Machine offers tangible benefits that translate directly to your bottom line. We outperform competitors in key areas of performance and total cost of ownership.
This comparison highlights our machine's superior oil yield and energy efficiency, leading to faster ROI.
Our optimized screw press design, with its unique variable pitch and depth, exerts maximum, progressive pressure on the soybeans. This results in a residual oil rate as low as 5.2%, extracting more valuable oil per ton of raw material compared to conventional presses that often leave 7-8% oil in the cake.
Equipped with high-efficiency IE3-class motors and a superior gearbox design that minimizes frictional losses, our machines consume up to 15% less energy per ton of processed soybeans. This leads to significant operational cost savings over the machine's lifetime.
The combination of superior materials and advanced heat treatment for wear parts means less downtime and lower maintenance costs. Our press worms and bars can process thousands of tons of soybeans before requiring replacement, a critical factor for continuous, large-scale operations.
Featuring an integrated control panel with temperature and pressure monitoring, our machines are designed for user-friendly operation. The automatic feeding and cake discharge systems reduce labor requirements and ensure a smooth, continuous workflow.
The versatility of our Industrial Soy Bean Oil Press Machine makes it an ideal solution for various sectors:
We recognize that every processing plant has unique requirements. We don't just sell machines; we provide comprehensive solutions. Our engineering team works closely with clients to offer customized versions of the Industrial Soy Bean Oil Press Machine.
Challenge: The cooperative was using older, less efficient screw presses, resulting in a high residual oil rate of 8.5% in their soybean cake. This meant lost revenue from unextracted oil and a lower quality cake. They faced frequent downtime due to worn-out components.
Solution: After a thorough consultation, we supplied and installed a complete line featuring two of our ZX280 Industrial Soy Bean Oil Press Machines. The solution included integrated steam cookers for optimal pre-treatment and a fully automated control system.
"The new line from OilMillChina has been a game-changer. Our oil yield increased by nearly 3% overnight, which translates to hundreds of thousands of dollars in extra revenue annually. The machines are incredibly robust; our maintenance downtime has been reduced by over 80%. Their team provided excellent on-site training and support."

The core pressing components—the worm shaft (screw) and press bars (cage bars)—are forged from high-grade alloy steel, typically 20CrMnTi. This material is chosen for its excellent strength and receptiveness to heat treatment. After forging, these parts undergo a critical process called carburizing and quenching, which hardens the surface to an exceptional HRC58-62 while keeping the core tough. This dual property is vital for resisting the intense abrasion from soybeans while preventing the parts from becoming brittle and fracturing under high pressure. This significantly extends the machine's service life and reduces maintenance frequency.
Hot Pressing: This is the most common method for soybeans in industrial settings. It involves pre-heating the soybeans (typically to 100-120°C) in a cooker or steamer before they enter the press. The heat reduces the oil's viscosity, breaks down oil-bearing cells, and denatures certain enzymes, leading to a much higher oil yield (residual oil in cake ~5-6%). The resulting oil requires further refining.
Cold Pressing: This method processes soybeans without external heat application (temperature is kept below 60°C). It yields less oil (residual oil can be 10-15%) but preserves more of the natural nutrients, flavor, and antioxidants. The Industrial Soy Bean Oil Press Machine can be adapted for cold pressing by bypassing the cooker, but it's less common for large-scale soybean operations due to lower efficiency.
Proper pre-treatment is key to maximizing efficiency and oil yield. The ideal process for soybeans includes:
Yes, absolutely. While optimized for soybeans, the robust design of our screw press makes it highly versatile. It can efficiently process a wide variety of other oilseeds with minor adjustments to the screw configuration and operational parameters (like speed and temperature). Common alternative oilseeds include: sunflower seeds, rapeseed (canola), peanuts, cottonseeds, corn germ, and palm kernels. This multi-seed capability offers excellent flexibility for your business.
Regular maintenance is crucial. Key procedures include:
Our commitment to global quality standards is unwavering. All our machines are manufactured in facilities that are ISO 9001:2015 certified for quality management.

"Residual oil in cake" refers to the percentage of oil that remains in the solid byproduct (the "cake" or "meal") after the pressing process is complete. A lower percentage is critically important for two reasons:
