Traditional manual pressing methods are widely used in fruit & vegetable processing, grain & oil production, herbal extraction, and agricultural deep processing. However, they cannot fully squeeze out liquid contents, which leads to severe raw material waste. What’s more, it is hard to keep the processing environment hygienic.
The multifunctional hydraulic press machine is a versatile piece of equipment that integrates juicing, oil extraction, dewatering, and residue removal. Depending on production scale, it is available in the following models:
- Manual screw press
- Hydraulic jack press
- Fully automatic hydraulic press
The hydraulic press machine features a food-grade stainless steel or high-strength cast steel structure and can be used to press a wide variety of materials, including fruits, vegetables, Chinese medicinal herbs, peanuts, sesame seeds, walnuts, rapeseed, distillers’ grains, and cassava. It is suitable for home-based workshops, small processing plants, and large food processing enterprises.
Application fields of hydraulic press machine
A single machine can process various materials, reducing the cost of purchasing multiple devices and improving equipment utilization. The applicable processing types include:
- Fruit juicing: grapes, watermelons, apples, mulberries, pomegranates, etc.
- Grain and oil pressing: peanuts, sesame, walnuts, rapeseed, tea seeds, etc.
- Chinese herbal medicine extraction: juice extraction from rhizome medicinal materials.
- Agricultural product dewatering: dewatering and residue separation of cassava, sweet potatoes, vegetables, and distillers’ grains.
Three models for different production scales
Three hydraulic press machine options are provided to match different processing volumes and automation requirements:
Manual screw press
- Suitable for home use, retail stores, and small-scale processing scenarios.
- Features: no electricity required, simple operation, low investment cost, suitable for small-batch on-site pressing.
- Specifications: 2L, 4L, 8L
Hydraulic jack press
- Suitable for small and medium-sized processing workshops.
- Features: higher pressure, more thorough pressing, cost-effective, no electricity required.
- Pressure specifications: 3 tons, 10 tons, 20 tons
Fully automatic hydraulic press
- Suitable for large-scale production in food factories and oil mills.
- Features: automatic hydraulic control, industrial continuous processing, large feeding capacity, labor-saving.
- Specifications: 52L, 98L, 169L
Structural advantages of multi-functional press
Food-grade materials guarantee safe processing
All parts in direct contact with materials are made of 304 stainless steel, including mesh barrels, juice trays, and pressure plates. These components are corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and free of contamination, fully complying with food hygiene standards.
High-pressure design boosts pressing efficiency
Three pressure systems are equipped for different models to maximize liquid extraction and cut raw material waste:
- Manual models: thickened 27mm T-type screws for steady pressure output
- Jack hydraulic models: 3-ton, 10-ton and 20-ton hydraulic jacks
- Fully automatic models: 20–40 ton hydraulic cylinders
Detachable structure for easy cleaning
Mesh barrels, pressure plates and juice trays can be fully disassembled. This design reduces residue buildup, speeds up cleaning work and maintains consistent quality across production batches.
Reinforced stable frame for long-term service
All hydraulic press machines adopt thickened heavy-duty structures for stable operation:
- Manual versions feature solid stainless steel bases
- Hydraulic jack versions come with high-load cast steel frames
- Automatic versions use industrial thick plates and hydraulic systems to support non-stop mass production
Working procedures of multi-functional vertical press
Manual screw press
- Load raw materials into the stainless steel mesh barrel.
- Place the pressure plate and assemble the machine.
- Rotate the screw to apply continuous pressure.
- Juice or oil flows out from the bottom outlet.
- Take out residues and clean the machine thoroughly.
Hydraulic jack press
- Put raw materials into the cast steel mesh barrel.
- Install the pressure plate and activate the hydraulic system.
- The hydraulic jack generates pressure to squeeze materials.
- Liquid flows through the filter screen.
- Release pressure and clear waste residues.
Fully automatic hydraulic press
- Fill raw materials into the large-capacity mesh barrel.
- Start the machine for automatic pressure rise.
- The hydraulic cylinder applies constant pressing force.
- The machine maintains pressure automatically once the preset value is reached.
- Automatic pressure relief completes the whole processing cycle.

How to choose the right hydraulic press machine?
Choose according to processing volume
Match the machine model with your daily processing output:
| Processing Needs | Recommended Equipment |
|---|---|
| Home use, small retail stores, small-batch processing | 2L/4L Manual Screw Press |
| Daily processing of 250-1000 kg (500-2000 jin) | 8L Manual Press, 3T/10T Hydraulic Jack Press |
| Large-batch continuous production | 20T Hydraulic Jack Press, 52L/98L/169L Fully Automatic Hydraulic Press |
Choose according to processed materials
- Wet and acidic materials (e.g., fruits, Chinese herbal medicines): choose models with 304 stainless steel components to ensure corrosion resistance and hygiene.
- Oil-bearing materials (e.g., peanuts, sesame): opt for hydraulic models with high pressure to improve oil extraction efficiency.
- Food factories and commercial supply: it is recommended to choose fully automatic models with 304 stainless steel to meet large-scale production and food safety standards.
Choose according to power conditions
- No electricity available: select manual screw press or hydraulic jack press (no power required).
- Fixed factory production: choose a fully automatic hydraulic press machine to enhance production efficiency with automated operation.
