OIL SEED SCREW PRESS SPECIFIC PRESSING TECHNOLOGY This technology is designed for a wide variety of applications. Its aim is to press off part of the oil (usually to 20 % residual fat) with possible heat treatment of the press cakes to increase digestibility. It is mainly used in feed applications and as a pre-pressing prior to extraction. Pre-pressing with extrusion The pre-pressing with extrusion technology finds its use mainly in animal feed applications. The result is energy- rich and highly digestible feed component, which finds application in nutrition, particularly for poultry and other monogasters, but it is also suitable for ruminants. Cold pre-pressing The cold pre-pressing technology does not involve mechanical or thermal treatment of the seed prior to the pressing. This technology is suitable as a first stage before further pressing or where only partial oil extraction is required and the larger residual oil in press cakes is used in feed mixtures where the oil content is desirable. Hot pre-pressing Hot pre-pressing before extraction is a highly efficient way of preparing oilseeds before chemical extraction. In this process, part of the oil is pressed off by a mechanical way. The technology can be designed for pressing of a wide range of oilseeds (most often rapeseed and sunflower seeds). Versatile and highly efficient screw presses designed for processing of high and very high capacities of oilseeds. They offer the optimal solution for maximum oil yield by mechanical processing of oilseeds. These presses are the basis of LARX‘s technologies.
ROLLER MILL Screenshot 2023-10-23 at 19.55.03.png LX A-RM 2023 Roller Mills ensure that the grains are milled in the desired particle size at every point in a perfect balance. High temperature increases do not occur during grinding in roller mills and an air filtration system is not required. Since their energy consumption is less than other crushing methods, operating unit costs in milling are also low. In LX A-RM 2023 Roller Mills, an electro-pneumatically controlled cover system is used in order to control the input of raw materials into the system and prevent accumulation on the rolls. There is also an electro-pneumatic controlled by-pass flap system within this section. Thanks to the by-pass system, if deemed necessary, raw materials or prepared rations can be passed through the roller mill without breaking. There is a gearmotor driven drum type feeding system at the entrance. The feeder is used to ensure a balanced distribution of incoming raw materials or rations on the roll and to control the input flow of the raw material. In the feeder section, there is a magnetic separation system with high attraction power that allows the metals that may come in the raw material to be hold. The goods entrance opening can be adjusted in the feeder. In order to ensure that raw materials or rations are grinded in desired sizes using minimum energy, special tooth structure channels are opened on the roller surfaces and the surface is subjected to hardening heat treatment. It is possible to adjust the gap between rolls to determine the capacity and particle size in the grinding process. A spring system is applied to prevent damage to the rolls and system. Gradual milling can be done to adjust the desired particle size. For this, 2- and 3-layer options are offered. Thick and fine grinding can be done respectively from the first level to the exit. There is a wide control cover on the roller mill and sampling apparatus at each level exit. Thus, the entire flow of goods, from the incoming raw material and from the ration to the product, can be observed and controlled easily. LX A-RM 2023 Roller Mills offer their operators manual and automatic roller gap adjustment options.
OIL PRESS Description of possession Screw oil presses are designed for continuous mechanical extraction of vegetable oil from crushed oilseeds (sunflower, rapeseed, cake, soybeans, etc.). The main product obtained after pressing is vegetable oil, the secondary product is a oilcake in the form of a shell with a residual oil content. The principle of action Screw press is a prefabricated welding frame with closed lining. In the frame there are bearing supports of the screw shaft and units for mounting of the loading case, the pressing cage, the bath for oil drainage, the channel for the oilcake exit. The transmission of torque from the motor is carried out by means of a V-belt transmission, and from the gearbox to the screw shaft – by a special cam-disc coupling. During the operation of oil press, the prepared material is fed by a screw shaft into the pressing cage through the feeder and the loading case, where the oil is extracted. The pressed oil flows through the slots of the pressing slats into the bath, from which it is fed for further processing. The pressed material (oilcake) comes out through the annular gap between the sleeve and the cone of the screw shaft. Oil presses operate in a continuous mode of full mechanical load, so it is very important that all parts of the press that are in contact with raw materials (screws, pressing cages and slats, etc.) are durable. To achieve maximum wear resistance, our company carries out heat treatment of all these parts, which significantly increases their service life and reduces customer costs for the purchase of spare parts. Each press is completed with gearboxes of the European production, frequency converters for regulation of rotation frequency of the electric motor according to requirements of individual production. Our company produces oil presses in two variants: – for preliminary pressing (forpress); – for final oil pressing (expeller
LX A-HM 2023 Hammer Mills are produced in a wide variety of capacities depending on the needs. Hammer mills are machines that grind raw materials or rations in the desired particle size by crushing with the help of metal blades called hammers, which are mounted on the main rotor. Rotor rotation direction of LX A-HM 2023 Hammer Mills can be changed depending on the wear condition of the hammers. There is an electro-pneumatically controlled flap system in the entrance of the hammer mill to direct the raw material depending on the rotation direction of the rotor. The raw materials entering the hammer mill hit the special plates made of manganese alloy steel on both sides with the first hit of the hammer. These plates are specially processed on the latest system milling machines and their surfaces are hardened by heat treatment in order to facilitate grinding. The crash plates on LX A-HM 2023 Hammer Mills are designed in a modular structure. Since it is modular, it can be easily changed and significantly contributes to the mill's grinding capacity. Surface hardness is increased by the application of heat treatment in the mill hammers, which are the most effective part of the crushing process, and the grinding process is provided at high capacities. Each corner of the rectangular mill hammers can be used separately. There are additional shaft gaps in the rotors of LX A-HM 2023 Hammer Mills. In the process of changing the direction of the hammers, it is possible, with the help of additional shaft gaps on the rotor to change the direction of each of them by maintaining their current position. Thus, balance formation in high-speed rotor is prevented. Sieve and hammer replacement of LX A-HM 2023 Hammer Mills are designed in an easy and convenient manner. A large surface area is offered in the sieves in both parts of the rotor. In this way, after grinding, the product is provided comfortably, moisture loss is minimized, energy efficiency is increased and high capacity is offered. The distances between the mill screen and the hammers differ depending on the type of raw material and the grinding fineness. For this reason, LX A-HM 2023 Hammer Mills are designed in accordance with the product type and capacity. At the lower junction point of the sieve on both surfaces, there is a pocket system where stones, metals and similar foreign objects with high specific gravity that can enter the mill are collected. This pocket can be easily removed from the outer surface of the mill in order to discharge and clean the wastes inside and provides ease of use to the operator. In the lower part of the hammer mill screens, there are sampling devices on both sides and the operators can control the grinding precision during use.

COMPLEX OIL SEED PROCESSING LINE Thanks to the unique combination of our complete portfolio of oilseed screw presses and feed extruders, we highly recommend the exclusive technology of Pressing with Extrusion. This combination of both technologies will ensure the best results for the processing of oilseeds, especially for soybeans, rapeseed and sunflower. The technology of pressing plants developed in LARX stands on more than two decades of experience in this field. This technology involves highly effective screw presses in various configurations, always adjusted and optimized for individual applications. The lowest operation costs owing to the LARX technology, which uses an advanced system of energy recuperation. Hexane-free technology LARX that is both cost-efficient and environment-friendly. Hexane-free technology LARX brings you an ideal feed with an optimal ratio of fat (energy) and proteins. Hexane-free technology LARX gives you the most effective feed at minimal costs. Complex, integrated technological solutions guarantee minimal operation costs. The different modifications and possible arrangements of the presses provide a broad range of solutions for concrete requirements on the pressing process: from very small capacities for the pressing of special oilseeds to large facilities processing 1000 tons daily. Due to the different properties of each oilseed variety, mainly oil content, the technology always needs to be precisely adjusted for the particular species, variety, or seed category. In our oilseed pressing technology, only endless screw presses are used; in diverse arrangements, employing diverse seed pre-treatment procedures. In practice, the technology is usually categorized as follows: One-stage or two-stage - this refers to the number of pressing steps which the seeds undergo. In two-stage pressing, the first press is referred to as ‘pre-press’ and the second as ‘final-press’. Two-stage pressing technologies are used to maximize yield especially in oilseeds high in oil content (above 30 % - e.g. rapeseed, sunflower seed). Soybean pressing (oil content ca. 20 %) usually employs one-stage pressing. Cold or hot pressing - indicates the temperature at which the pressing is done. Pressing with extrusion - the technology of feed extrusion brings substantial benefits to the pressing process. Combining both technologies will ensure the best results for a whole range of oilseeds, including soybean, rapeseed, and sunflower seed. In cold pressing, the seeds are not heated up prior to pressing. The temperature of expelled oil does not 50 °C. This technology thus yields the highest-quality cold-pressed oil. However, the oil yield is overall lower, due to a significant amount of fat retained in the press cake (10 - 12 %). Heating up the seeds before pressing (e.g. in stack heaters) considerably increases the yield, at the cost of lower oil quality. Extrusion–pressing can lead to high oil yields. Also, extrusion leads to a thermal improvement of the press cake, in other words, to an increased digestibility and nutrient availability (reduction of anti-nutritional substances, denaturation of proteins, gelatinization of starches, creation of by-pass protein). The pressing with extrusion technology is therefore the best solution wherever there is emphasis on oil yield and quality press cake for feed or food purposes. The advanced recuperation system developed by Farmet offers a considerable reduction in the operation costs of oilseed processing. The advantage lies mainly in the increase of the throughput of the line, at decreased energy costs. The result is thus both an economically and environmentally favorable solution, saving both your pocket and the planet. A natural part of Farmet technologies is the system for intelligent control and visualization of the process, called LARX Intelligent Control (LIC). The whole procedure of oilseed processing is controlled by an industrial computer (PLC) via a visualization PC from the control room, or alternatively by a touch screen placed near the device. The entire system is designed to reach optimal parameters and minimize unwanted disturbances and staff interventions into the technology.
The aerospace industry is one of the leading industries in the use of additive manufacturing. Lightweight construction is one of the key factors here and additive manufacturing offers a completely new approach to design and production. This particularly applies to processes such as the repair and reworking of selected components. These can be produced in almost any geometry by additive manufacturing. Especially with bionic structures, conventional manufacturing processes reach their limits here. This is demonstrated above all by innovative developments in DED processes with powder and wire, where semi-finished products or intermediate structures are given complex properties. The results are close to final contour geometries that can be produced at low cost.
