08/26/2024Screw Press for Agricultural Applications
08/29/2024Screw press dewatering machine is essential in the coconut industry, efficiently separating liquids from solids. It is widely used to process various coconut by-products, including shredded coconut, coconut shells, coconut husk fibers, and coconut peat/coir.
Applications of Screw Press in Coconut Industry
1. Dewatering Shredded Coconuts
The primary goal of dewatering shredded coconuts is to reduce the moisture content of the coconut meat. By using a screw press machine, the liquid content can be reduced to below 60%, making it suitable for further processing, such as drying. This process not only lowers the weight and volume of the shredded coconut, facilitating easier storage and transportation but also improves the texture for further processing. Meanwhile, the liquid extracted during the dewatering process can be further processed, refined, or used as an ingredient in beverages or other food products.
2. Processing Coconut Shells
Coconut shells are valuable by-products in the coconut industry. Dewatered coconut shells are often processed into biomass charcoal. The screw press machine can be used to reduce their moisture content, making them more manageable and also reducing drying time and energy consumption for subsequent processing.
3. Dewatering Coir Fibers /Coconut Peat
Screw press machine is used to extract excess moisture from coconut husk fiber and coconut peats. This process prepares these materials for further use. For example, dewatered coir fiber and peat are widely used in gardening and agriculture as a growing medium, soil conditioner, composite materials, and bedding material for animals. In addition, dewatering will help manage waste and reduce environmental impact.
4. Dewatering of Spent Coconut Pulp
After extracting coconut milk or oil, the remaining coconut pulp can be further dewatered using a screw press. This reduces the moisture content, making it easier to handle and suitable for use as animal feed or for further drying.
All in all, screw presses are valued in the coconut industry for their efficiency in processing valuable products while reducing waste. Except for coconuts, screw press machine is also widely used to process various materials, for example, sawdust, coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable waste, spent grains, seafood waste, etc. If you have similar materials to process, please talk with us for more details!

Tips for Choosing Screw Press in Coconut Industry
When selecting a screw press machine for your coconut processing projects, consider the following factors:
1. Material Characteristics: What materials will you process, such as moisture content, particle size, and fiber content? These factors matter in the choice of screw design and screen opening size. They also determine whether pre-treatment equipment, such as crushers, is necessary. Providing us with pictures or videos of your materials can help in making the best recommendation.
2. Processing Capacity: What is the volume of coconut by-products you need to process per hour or day? At Furui Machinery, we offer a range of models to choose from to meet various operation scales.
3. Desired Liquid Content of Dewatered Solid: The liquid content of the dewatered cake is about 60%, but it ranges with different materials. If you require drier solids, additional drying equipment may be necessary. The screw press machine can serve as pre-treatment equipment.
4. Energy Consumption: Compared to other dewatering equipment, screw press requires less energy, which will lower your operating costs. Please inform us of your local voltage to ensure proper machine configuration.
At Furui Machinery, we offer customized solutions to perfectly match your requirements. Whether you need a standalone screw press machine or a complete production line, we provide the most suitable options for your needs. Please do not hesitate to contact us!
