Engineer's Sharing: Application Case Analysis of Vertical Cake Discharging Mechanism and Segmented Cage in Actual Production

In the realm of modern industrial production, the pursuit of high - efficiency and energy - saving equipment has become a top priority for enterprises. The screw oil press, a crucial piece of equipment in the food processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, has witnessed significant technological advancements. This article, from the perspective of engineers, delves into two core technologies of the screw oil press: the vertical cake - discharging mechanism and the segmented cage, analyzing their practical applications and far - reaching impacts.

Traditional screw oil presses often encounter problems such as oil drainage blockage and residue accumulation. These issues not only reduce the efficiency of oil extraction but also increase the frequency of equipment maintenance. According to engineer - measured data, in some traditional oil presses, the oil drainage efficiency can be as low as 70%, and the equipment needs to be maintained once every 2 - 3 days, which greatly affects production continuity and increases costs.

The vertical cake - discharging mechanism is a revolutionary innovation in the design of screw oil presses. Its unique structure allows the oil cake to be discharged vertically, effectively avoiding the problem of residue accumulation. The vertical discharge method enables the oil cake to fall smoothly, which significantly improves the oil drainage efficiency. Engineers' tests show that after using the vertical cake - discharging mechanism, the oil drainage efficiency of the screw oil press can be increased to over 90%, and the oil residue in the cake is reduced by more than 30%.

The segmented cage is another key technology. Its segmented design allows for better adjustment and maintenance of the equipment. In the traditional one - piece cage, once a part is damaged, the entire cage needs to be replaced, which is time - consuming and costly. The segmented cage, on the other hand, only requires replacing the damaged segment, greatly reducing maintenance costs. Moreover, the segmented cage can better adapt to the changes in the internal pressure of the screw oil press, improving the stability of the equipment. According to practical application data, the service life of the screw oil press with a segmented cage can be extended by 2 - 3 years compared with traditional equipment.

Both the vertical cake - discharging mechanism and the segmented cage are not only beneficial in terms of production efficiency and equipment life but also meet international safety and environmental protection standards. In the process of oil extraction, the smooth oil drainage reduces the generation of waste, and the reduction of maintenance frequency means less waste of resources. This is in line with the current global trend of sustainable development.

In the cold and hot pressing processes, these two technologies also show excellent applicability. In the cold - pressing process, the vertical cake - discharging mechanism can ensure that the oil is not over - heated, maintaining the nutritional value of the oil. In the hot - pressing process, the segmented cage can better withstand high temperatures and pressures, ensuring the stability of the equipment. Engineers have conducted a large number of tests in different processes, and the results show that these two technologies can improve the oil extraction efficiency by 15% - 20% in both cold and hot pressing processes.

To sum up, the vertical cake - discharging mechanism and the segmented cage in the screw oil press are technological innovations with high practical value. They effectively solve the problems of traditional oil presses, improve production efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and meet international safety and environmental protection requirements. For enterprises in the food processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, choosing screw oil presses equipped with these two technologies is an important step towards achieving sustainable business goals.
