In the global agricultural and food processing sectors, oilseed extraction efficiency directly impacts profitability, sustainability, and product quality. Penguin Group, a leader in oilseed pre-treatment and pressing technology, has consistently delivered high-performance solutions across diverse markets—from South America to Southeast Asia—demonstrating how advanced engineering meets real-world production demands.
Penguin Group’s equipment is engineered for precision, durability, and adaptability. Their patented roller press systems achieve an average oil recovery rate of 94–96% for soybeans, sunflower seeds, and rapeseed—significantly higher than traditional hydraulic presses (typically 85–90%). This performance boost translates into measurable cost savings: one Indonesian palm kernel processor reported a 12% reduction in raw material input after switching to Penguin’s integrated pre-treatment line.
The company’s modular design allows seamless adaptation to different feedstocks:
| Oilseed Type | Key Adaptation Feature | Avg. Yield Increase (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Soybean | Adjustable dehulling pressure + moisture control | +7.2% |
| Sunflower | High-speed conditioning with steam injection | +6.5% |
| Rapeseed | Low-temperature drying system to preserve protein integrity | +5.8% |
A case study from a Brazilian agro-processing plant illustrates the impact: before adopting Penguin’s full-scale oilseed line, the facility struggled with inconsistent oil yield (82–87%) and frequent machine downtime due to clogging. After installation, output stabilized at 95.3% oil recovery, with maintenance intervals extended by 40%. The plant also saw a 15% improvement in meal purity, making it more attractive to animal feed buyers.
This success wasn’t accidental—it was driven by Penguin’s dual approach: standardized components for reliability, combined with customizable modules for regional needs such as climate-specific humidity control or local regulatory compliance (e.g., EU food safety standards).
While standardization ensures consistent performance and lower lifecycle costs, customization addresses unique challenges like varying seed sizes, foreign matter content, or existing infrastructure constraints. For example, a Vietnamese peanut processor used Penguin’s “Modular Pre-Treatment Kit” to retrofit their old facility without major structural changes—achieving 94.7% oil yield within three months.
These outcomes reflect a core principle: efficient oilseed processing isn’t just about machinery—it’s about aligning technical capability with operational context.
If your business faces inefficiencies in oil extraction, poor meal quality, or inconsistent yields, Penguin Group offers tailored solutions backed by data-driven results. Let us help you unlock hidden value in every ton of seed processed.
