Screw Press for Sugar beet Juice Extraction in Sugar Production
A screw press (auger press) is a high-performance mechanical solution tailored for juice extraction from sugar beet during sugar refining. This technology enhances the efficiency of beet processing by optimizing juice yield while minimizing residue moisture content, directly impacting sugar crystallization quality and overall production economics.

The system consists of a helical screw rotating within a screen cylinder. As beet slices or whole beats are fed into the press, the screw’s progressive rotational force applies controlled pressure, pressing beet juice through the screen’s pores while compressing fibrous solids (beet pulp) into a dry cake. This dual action ensures high juice recovery rates (typically 85–95%) and reduces pulp moisture from 80–85% to 20–30%, simplifying downstream processing.
