The differences between single screw palm oil presser and double screw palm oil presser

Palm oil production has grown rapidly over the years, and the machine used to extract palm oil plays a critical role in the efficiency of the palm oil extraction process. Among the most commonly used machines are the single screw palm oil presser and the double screw palm oil presser. In this article, we will take Henan Glory Company’s palm oil pressers as an example to explore the key differences between single screw palm oil presser and double screw palm oil presser, focusing on their design, performance and efficiency. By the end of this article, you will have a clearer understanding of which type of palm oil presser suits your palm oil extraction needs.

1. The Difference in Design Structure

(1) Single Screw Palm Oil Presser: As the name suggests, the single screw palm oil presser consists of one screw that rotates inside a barrel to extract oil from the palm fruits. The screw moves the palm fruit along the barrel, and the pressure gradually increases as the screw rotates, squeezing the oil out of the pulp.

(2) Double Screw Palm Oil Presser: The double screw palm oil presser, on the other hand, utilizes two interlocking screws that rotate in opposite directions inside the barrel. This twin screw design can move the palm fruit and extract the palm oil more efficiently, providing higher pressing efficiency.

2. The Difference in Palm Oil Extraction Efficiency

(1) Single Screw Palm Oil Presser: The palm oil extraction efficiency of a single screw palm oil presser is good, but it is generally lower compared to a double screw palm oil presser. This is because the screw’s single direction of rotation leads to less pressure being applied, which can leave more oil in the pulp.

(2) Double Screw Palm Oil Presser: The double screw palm oil presser excels in terms of palm oil extraction efficiency. The opposing rotation of the screws creates more pressure and allows for better oil extraction, leaving less residual oil in the cake. This results in higher oil yield and less waste, making the double screw palm oil presser a more efficient option for large-scale palm oil production.

3. The Difference in Processing Capacity

(1) Single Screw Palm Oil Presser: Single screw palm oil presser typically have a lower processing capacity compared to their double screw palm oil presser, generally 500kg/h. They are ideal for smaller-scale operations, or for businesses with moderate production demands.

(2) Double Screw Palm Oil Presser: With a higher processing capacity, generally 1-15t/h, the double screw palm oil presser is more suitable for larger-scale operations. Its higher throughput and efficient palm oil extraction make it ideal for businesses with higher production demands.

4. The Difference in Maintenance and Durability

(1) Single Screw Palm Oil Presser: Single screw palm oil presser are generally easier to maintain and have a lower initial cost. However, due to the design and lower processing efficiency, these single screw palm oil pressers may require more frequent maintenance over time, especially in high-demand operations.

(2) Double Screw Palm Oil Presser: Although double screw palm oil presser are typically more complex and have a higher initial cost, they are more durable and require less maintenance over time due to their superior design and functionality. They are built to withstand higher pressures and processing demands, which makes them a better long-term investment for large-scale operations.

5. The Difference in Cost and ROI

(1) Single Screw Palm Oil Presser: The cost of a single screw palm oil presser is relatively lower compared to a double screw palm oil presser. For businesses with smaller budgets or lower production volumes, this can be an attractive option. However, the return on investment (ROI) may be slower because of the lower palm oil extraction efficiency.

(2)Double Screw Palm Oil Presser: While the initial cost of a double screw palm oil presser is higher, the increased oil yield and processing capacity can lead to a faster return on investment. This makes it a more profitable choice for businesses that require higher production output and efficient palm oil extraction.

6. The Difference in Suitability for Different Applications

(1) Single Screw Palm Oil Presser: The single screw palm oil presser is better suited for smaller-scale operations or businesses that process palm fruit with a lower oil content. It is also a great option for those starting in the palm oil industry or those that have limited space for large machinery.

(2) Double Screw Palm Oil Presser: This double screw palm oil presser is better suited for large-scale, high-volume palm oil production. It is ideal for companies that need to extract oil from high volumes of palm fruit and prioritize high oil yield and efficiency.
