QIE GROUP supplies screw oil press machines for sunflower seed processing, with model options for different production capacities and process requirements. The equipment configuration can be selected according to seed condition, pressing method, target throughput, and whether the press will operate independently or as part of a pre-pressing and solvent extraction line.
Designed for continuous mechanical oil extraction from prepared oilseeds.
Different models are available for small, medium, and large-scale processing requirements.
The press can be selected for single-stage pressing or integrated into a pre-pressing and solvent extraction process, depending on the model and project requirements.
Capacity and operating parameters should be confirmed according to sunflower seed variety, hull content, moisture, conditioning, and the required cake residual oil level.
QIE GROUP offers different screw oil press models for various processing scales. The following models provide reference points for equipment selection.
| Model | Reference Processing Capacity | Main Motor Power | Reference Cake Residual Oil Rate | Overall Dimensions (L*W*H) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZX200A-3 | 7–10 T/D | 18.5 kW | 5–7% | 2900×1850×3240mm | 5000kg |
| ZY24(202-3) | 40-50 T/D | 30KW | 10~18% | 2900×1850×3640mm | 5500kg |
| ZX276 | 50–60 T/D | 75 kW | 6–8% | 3705×1040×2800mm | 10000Kg |
| ZY28 | 100-120 T/D | 75+11+4.0 kw | 16-20% | 3740×1920×3843mm | 9160kg |
| ZY338 | 250–300 T/D | 185 kW | ≤18% | 5600×1850×2380mm | 16000kg |
Notice: These figures are published reference specifications for the listed models, not guaranteed performance for every sunflower seed. Actual capacity, power configuration, and cake residual oil rate depend on the raw material, preparation conditions, pressing method, and operating parameters. Confirm the applicable specifications with QIE GROUP before equipment selection.
For projects with a relatively low daily throughput, a smaller press such as the ZX200A-3 may be considered. The final selection should account for the available seed supply, operating hours, and whether additional preparation equipment is required.
For medium-scale projects, the ZX276 is one option to evaluate. Its suitability should be confirmed against the actual sunflower seed variety, daily capacity target, and desired pressing performance.
Large-scale plants require equipment selection based on total line capacity, operating continuity, and the intended oil recovery route. The ZY338 can be evaluated for larger processing requirements, subject to confirmation of sunflower-specific operating data and the complete process design.
The model capacity ranges above should not be used as a direct comparison of oil yield. Processing capacity and cake residual oil rate are different indicators, and their values may change with the raw material and operating conditions.
The appropriate process depends on the required oil recovery, meal specifications, plant capacity, and operating costs.
Mechanical pressing uses a screw press to extract oil from prepared sunflower seeds or kernels. It may suit projects where a mechanical pressing route meets the required oil recovery and cake specifications.
For a detailed comparison of the two extraction methods, read our guide to pressing vs. solvent extraction.
For projects seeking to recover more of the remaining oil from press cake, pre-pressing followed by solvent extraction may be considered. A dedicated pre-pressing machine produces cake suitable for subsequent solvent extraction, with the process designed around the target throughput and residual oil requirements.
For example, the ZX204 spiral pre-pressing machine is listed with a reference capacity of 50 T/D and a cake residual oil rate of ≤16%. These figures are model reference specifications and should be confirmed for the intended sunflower seed and process conditions.
The complete configuration may include seed cleaning, conditioning, pre-pressing, solvent extraction, meal desolventizing, oil recovery, and crude oil handling, as required by the project.
Stable pressing performance depends on proper raw material preparation. Depending on the seed condition and selected process, preparation may include:
The need for dehulling and the appropriate conditioning conditions should be determined from the sunflower seed characteristics, press design, and finished-product objectives.
For more details on cleaning, dehulling, crushing, and conditioning, see our sunflower seed pretreatment process.
QIE GROUP provides oil processing equipment and project-specific configuration support for different production requirements. We can help assess the appropriate press model and determine whether additional seed preparation, pre-pressing, solvent extraction, or refining equipment is required.
For projects requiring a complete processing system, explore our sunflower oil production line.
Equipment selection should be based on the actual raw material, target daily throughput, expected operating schedule, and required cake and oil specifications.
The appropriate model depends on daily seed throughput, operating hours, seed condition, and the selected pressing route. Share your target capacity and raw material details to identify suitable options.
Some screw oil press models are listed for sunflower seed processing, but the appropriate configuration depends on the model and raw material. Dehulling requirements should be evaluated according to the seed characteristics and production objectives.
Not necessarily. A pre-pressing machine is designed to remove part of the oil and produce cake for subsequent processing, commonly solvent extraction. A machine selected for one-time pressing may have different operating targets and cake specifications.
The key details include daily processing capacity, sunflower seed variety and condition, whether dehulling is planned, the desired pressing route, and the required oil and cake specifications.
