The Mini Press Range

The Mini Press Range has been designed to cover the needs of both the smaller Specialty Oil Processor and a Pilot Plant operation. The Presses have been designed for Cold Pressing most Oil Seeds without Pre-Treatment*. Their small size and tight tolerances means that they are very efficient at rupturing the structures of oil-bearing materials and extracting the oil. The Mini Presses may also be used to process cooked and prepared feed materials. In which case the pre-treatment will enable greater oil yields than is possible with the Press alone.

The Press design ensures good separation of the mechanical drive components and the working area of the Press. Ease of maintenance and durability of Parts has been considered from the outset. Ensuring the Presses are both reliable and easily maintained.

Typically Mini Presses will be used in specialist applications, where small scale extraction of high value products is required. They may be used either as a single stage High Pressure Press, or as part of a Mini Mill where it would undertake a Double-Pressing Duty.

Our  Mini Presses are also ideal for small-scale Pilot Plant or Research Work. They are simple to set up and use. Their operating characteristics are similar to those of a full sized production Presses, and therefore enable good predictions of full scale applications to be made.

* Fibrous feeds or feeds with large particle sizes will require pre-breaking before feeding to a Mini Press.

General Features of the Mini Press Range**:

  • FLEXIBLE, EFFICIENT  WORM ASSEMBLY DESIGN: The Worm Assembly Design with interchangeable rotary chokes allows the Worm Assembly to be optimised to a variety of feeds and conditions . This series of integral rotary chokes allow press operation with lower compression, less heat, less wear, less power and higher feed and cake moistures.

  • SIMPLE, RUGGED AND RELIABLE: A simple design with the minimum of moving and wearing parts, makes for a rugged reliable Press that will cope with the most arduous of duties.

  • MAINTENANCE FRIENDLY: The Presses are designed with reliability and ease of maintenance in mind, and to that end all components in contact with the process material can be quickly and easily replaced. 

  • QUALITY MANUFACTURE: All our Presses are designed and manufactured to the highest standards. 

** Mini 40 Design does not share all features of the Other Mini Presses see its Brochure for more Details.

Design Summary:

Our Mini Presses have a fully welded Steel Frame, that provides maximum strength and allows for simple installation of the Press. The motor is mounted on the Press, either on the base plate behind the Gearbox or on the top of the Gearbox. The feed mechanism and available space will generally determine which is the most suitable arrangement.

The Gearbox is of the Worm Box type, this is a high efficiency unit and it is fitted, as standard, with large bearings that will withstand the loads generated by the pressing operation. The Gearbox flanges directly to the Frame, and the main Press Shaft fits directly into the hollow-driving sleeve of the Gearbox. This arrangement eliminates the need for specialist alignment, making the Press very simple to maintain.

All aspect of the Press and its ancillaries are designed in accordance with all European and British Safety regulations.

 

The Cage Assembly:

The Cage is split on the centre line with the two halves bolted together. This design allows for quick and easy access to the Press internals for cleaning or inspection, without any specialist lifting equipment. The Cage is normally lined with standard Lining Bars, these are simpler and easier to maintain. Alternatively our unique Half Rings may be used, these offer much greater flexibility to adjust the drainage gaps of the Press, while retaining all the advantages in terms of access and maintenance of a split Cage.

 

The Worm Assembly:

The Worm Assembly generally features two compression zones to maximise the efficiency of oil extraction without generating the high pressures that absorb power and cause excessive wear of Parts. The Worm Assembly is made up of loose sections, built up on a keyed Shaft. The Parts slide on to the Shaft from the Discharge End, so that those parts that experience the greatest wear and those most likely to need changing for different seed types are the first to be removed from the Shaft. The Compression in each zone can be adjusted, to suit the feed material and the required duty, with simply interchangeable Pressure Pieces that are supplied as standard with each Press.
