Optimizing Seaweed Processing with Lyure’s ED-D20T Screw Press in Fujian

Project Overview

In 2016, Lyure Machinery partnered with a leading seaweed processing facility in Fujian, China, to deploy a high-efficiency processing line featuring two ED-D20T Screw Presses. The contract, signed and installed in 2016, enabled the client to process 500 tons of seaweed per day. This advanced system streamlined seaweed crushing, extraction, and solid-liquid separation, significantly enhancing the client’s production efficiency and product quality.

Client Needs

The Fujian-based client, a major player in the seaweed processing industry, sought to modernize their processing line to handle large volumes of seaweed for applications like food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Their challenges included:

• High Moisture Content: Wet seaweed required effective dehydration and extraction to maximize yield and reduce processing costs.

• Operational Scalability: The need for a robust, integrated solution to manage crushing, extraction, and solid-liquid separation in a high-capacity system.

• Quality Standards: A requirement to process 500 tons daily while maintaining high-quality seaweed extracts and adhering to food-grade and industrial standards.

Lyure’s Solution: ED-D20T Screw Press

Lyure Machinery delivered a tailored solution with two ED-D20T screw presses, designed specifically for high-capacity seaweed processing:

• ED-D20T Screw Press (Crushing and Extraction): Each ED-D20T unit integrates seaweed crushing, cold-pressing extraction, and solid-liquid separation, achieving an extraction yield of over 65% with its customizable mesh screen (0.4–2.0 mm). The dual-unit configuration ensures reliable throughput for processing seaweed, optimizing recovery of valuable compounds like alginates and carrageenan.

• Integrated Functionality: The system supports seaweed crushing, extraction, and solid-liquid separation in a single, automated process, streamlining the production line.

• Processing Capacity: Handles 500 tons per day, meeting the client’s high-volume processing requirements.

• Durability and Hygiene: Constructed from 304 stainless steel, the machines are corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and compliant with food-grade and industrial standards.

• Automation: The ED-D20T units minimize manual intervention, reducing labor costs and ensuring consistent output.

Implementation

• Contract Signed: 2016

• Installation Completed: 2016

• Location: Fujian, China

• Material Processed: Seaweed for extraction and dehydration

• Processing Capacity: 500 tons/day

• Machine Model: ED-D20T (Crushing and Extraction, 2 units)

Lyure’s technical team completed the installation in 2016, providing comprehensive on-site training to ensure seamless integration into the client’s seaweed processing facility. The automated design of the ED-D20T presses simplified operations and minimized downtime.

Results

Since its deployment in 2016, Lyure’s solution has delivered impressive results for the Fujian client:

• Effective Extraction and Dehydration: Achieved an extraction yield exceeding 65%, significantly improving recovery of valuable seaweed compounds and reducing waste volume.

• Cost Efficiency: Automation and energy-efficient design cut operational costs by 20%.

• High-Quality Extracts: Cold-pressing technology preserved the integrity of seaweed compounds, meeting stringent food and pharmaceutical standards.

• Reliable Production: The dual-unit system consistently processed 500 tons daily, supporting the client’s operational demands.
