Soybeans are widely recognized for their rich nutritional profile, serving as a vital source of protein and oil for both human consumption and animal feed. In modern soybean processing, maximizing oil yield and preserving nutritional quality are key objectives.
Huatai Group’s soybean dry extruder offers an advanced solution that bridges efficiency and quality, enabling producers to enhance oil extraction while improving the value of soybean by-products.
The Role of Expansion in Soybean Oil Extraction
Soybean oil is commonly produced through solvent extraction or mechanical pressing. For facilities utilizing pressing methods, pretreatment through extrusion has proven essential to improving performance. The expansion process:
- Disrupts soybean cell structures for efficient oil release
- Increases mechanical press stability
- Reduces urease activity in soybean meal, improving its digestibility as animal feed

Huatai Soybean Dry Expander – Technical Features
Huatai’s dry-type expander is engineered for high-capacity industrial processing, with the following specifications and functions:
- Daily Capacity: 50 tons
- Power Configuration: 132 kW
- Feeding System: Equipped with frequency conversion speed regulation for precise control over material intake
- Optional Conditioner: Allows flexible moisture adjustment to optimize expansion results
Benefits of Extrusion in Soybean Processing
By breaking down cell walls and modifying molecular structure, the expander significantly increases oil extraction rates during pressing.
The process yields crude oil with minimal impurities, reducing refining costs and preserving oil quality.
- Enhanced Nutritional Value of Meal
Protein content remains above 40%
Urease activity is effectively controlled
Improved flavor and palatability for animal feed applications
Suitable for:
Soybean oil production
Soy-based food processing (e.g., soy sauce, fermented products)
High-quality feed manufacturing
- Added Value Across the Supply Chain
Huatai’s extrusion technology doesn’t just optimize oil yield—it elevates the entire soybean utilization chain. Feed manufacturers benefit from highly digestible soybean meal, while food processors can produce superior fermented soy products using expanded soybean raw materials.
