High-end screw press dehydration equipment manufacturer
Bean Pulp / Soybean Meal
A screw press, or auger press, is a robust mechanical solution designed for efficient dewatering and compression of bean pulp or soybean meal—the fibrous residues generated during soybean processing (e.g., tofu production, soy milk manufacturing, or oil extraction). This equipment transforms wet, low-value byproducts into dry, high-value materials, enabling food processors to adopt sustainable resource recovery practices while minimizing waste.
The system typically comprises a helical screw rotating within aperforated cylinder. As the screw advances, it applies progressive mechanical pressure to the wet bean pulp, forcing liquids (e.g., soy milk residue or oil extract) through the screen while compressing the fibrous solids into a dense, cake-like consistency. This process reduces moisture content from 80–90% to 20–40%, enhancing storage stability and facilitating downstream applications.
