Single Screw vs Double Screw Oil Press: How to Choose the Right Edible Oil Processing Equipment

1. Single Screw Oil Press: Cost-Effective and Simple

The single screw oil press features a simple structure, easy operation, low energy consumption, and lower investment costs, making it ideal for small or medium-sized edible oil processing plants.

• Suitable Oilseeds: Peanuts, soybeans, sesame, and other common oilseeds.

• Advantages:

  • Lower initial investment

  • Simple structure and easy maintenance

  • Low energy consumption

• Applications: Small-scale edible oil factories or family-type operations, especially for hot pressing common oilseeds.

2. Double Screw Oil Press: Efficient and Stable

The double screw oil press uses two screws working together to press oil, resulting in higher oil yield and lower residual oil. It operates stably and can handle a variety of oilseeds and pressing methods.

• Suitable Oilseeds: High-oil-content seeds, special oilseeds like flaxseed or safflower after peeling, and both hot and low-temperature pressing processes.

• Advantages:

  • Higher oil yield, lower residual oil rate

  • Suitable for a wide range of oilseed types

  • Stable operation and purer oil quality

  • Saves labor and raw materials in the long term

• Applications: Medium to large-scale edible oil plants aiming for higher output and superior oil quality.

3. How to Choose the Right Oil Press

• Small-scale production & low-cost startup: A single screw oil press is the most cost-effective choice.

• High production, premium oil quality, versatile oilseed processing: A double screw oil press is a more reliable long-term investment.
