Project Overview

In 2017, Lyure Machinery partnered with a leading citrus processing facility in Jiangxi, China, to deploy a high-efficiency processing line featuring two ED-D15T screw presses. The contract, signed and installed in 2017, enabled the client to process 400 tons of citrus peel residue per day. This advanced system streamlined residue crushing, extraction, and solid-liquid separation, significantly enhancing the client’s production efficiency and material recovery.

Client Needs

The Jiangxi-based client, a major player in the citrus processing industry, sought to modernize their processing line to handle large volumes of citrus peel residue while improving operational efficiency. Their challenges included:

• High Moisture Content: Citrus peel residue required effective dehydration to reduce volume and enhance downstream utilization, such as for pectin extraction, animal feed, or disposal.

• Operational Scalability: The need for a robust, integrated solution to manage crushing, extraction, and solid-liquid separation in a high-capacity system.

• Production Standards: A requirement to process 400 tons daily while maintaining consistent residue quality and adhering to food-grade and industrial standards.

Lyure’s Solution: ED-D15T Screw Press

Lyure Machinery delivered a tailored solution with two ED-D15T screw presses, designed specifically for efficient citrus peel residue processing:

• ED-D15T Screw Press (Crushing and Extraction): Each ED-D15T unit integrates residue crushing, cold-pressing extraction, and solid-liquid separation, achieving a moisture reduction rate of over 65% with its customizable mesh screen (0.4–2.0 mm). The dual-unit configuration ensures reliable throughput for processing citrus peel residue, optimizing yield for applications like pectin production or animal feed.

• Integrated Functionality: The system supports residue crushing, extraction, and solid-liquid separation in a single, automated process, streamlining the production line.

• Processing Capacity: Handles 400 tons per day, meeting the client’s high-volume processing requirements.

• Durability and Hygiene: Constructed from 304 stainless steel, the machines are corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and compliant with food-grade and industrial standards.

• Automation: The ED-D15T units minimize manual intervention, reducing labor costs and ensuring consistent output.

Implementation

• Contract Signed: 2017

• Installation Completed: 2017

• Location: Jiangxi, China

• Material Processed: Citrus peel residue for extraction and dehydration

• Processing Capacity: 400 tons/day

• Machine Model: ED-D15T (Crushing and Extraction, 2 units)

Lyure’s technical team completed the installation in 2017, providing comprehensive on-site training to ensure seamless integration into the client’s processing facility. The automated design of the ED-D15T presses simplified operations and minimized downtime.

Results

Since its deployment in 2017, Lyure’s solution has delivered impressive results for the Jiangxi client:

• Effective Extraction and Dehydration: Achieved a moisture reduction rate exceeding 65%, significantly reducing residue volume and improving yield for downstream applications.

• Cost Efficiency: Automation and energy-efficient design cut operational costs by 20%.

• High-Quality Output: Cold-pressing technology preserved the integrity of valuable compounds in the residue, meeting industry standards for pectin extraction or feed production.

• Reliable Production: The dual-unit system consistently processed 400 tons daily, supporting the client’s operational demands.
