Abstract

In modern economic conditions, the chosen technology of raw material processing and the choice of the necessary equipment for both the line as a whole and the oil press are of great importance in oil production. In small-capacity workshops, screw presses of various designs are used. The twin-screw extruder occupied a certain niche among the press equipment with a productivity of 150–500 kg/h. Their use can significantly simplify the technology of oilseed processing. They combine operations of heat treatment, grinding, and pressing of vegetable oil. It is important to study the influence of geometric parameters of the oil pressure path and screw nozzle on the oil yield. In twin-screw extruders, it is rational to choose the pitch of the worm, the width of the channel between the turns, the width of the crest of the turn and the length of the nozzle with variable geometrical parameters. The analysis and selection of geometrical parameters of working bodies of a twin-screw extruder on the basis of theoretical calculations are carried out. Two sets of experimental working bodies with the changed geometrical parameters are made. Their theoretical degree of compression is determined, which is 5.50, 4.69, and 4.33, respectively. It is experimentally confirmed that the oil yield depends on the degree of compression due to the geometric parameters of the screw. The effect of a sharp drop in the free volume of the screw on the energy performance and press extruder performance has been revealed. The general nature of the change in the free volume in the areas of nozzle groups is accompanied by an uneven decrease of 40–80% towards the release of oil cake. The nature of the change in the free volume of turns along the length of the screw shaft characterizes the correctness of its design. The selection of rational geometric parameters of the working bodies should be considered in combination with other design parameters, which will intensify the process of oil pressing.
