When customers compare oil presses, they often focus on capacity, power, or price. But there’s one critical factor that many overlook – the design of the pressing cage and the arrangement of the bars.
This single detail can make or break your oil yield, cake quality, and maintenance cost.

What is a “Strip Row” Oil Press?
A strip row oil press uses a cage made of flat, straight bars arranged in parallel rows. These bars create a continuous gap for oil to flow out.
Pros:
– Simple design
– Lower manufacturing cost
Cons:
– Uneven pressure distribution- oil may not be fully expelled from the material
– Clogging issues- fine particles tend to block the gaps
– Inconsistent cake quality – the cake comes out uneven, sometimes with visible oil spots
– Higher residual oil in cake – meaning you leave money on the table
What is a “Round & Strip” Oil Press?
A round & strip oil press** uses a hybrid cage design – a combination of round bars and flat strip bars arranged in a specific pattern.
How it works:
– The round bars create smooth, curved surfaces that reduce friction and prevent material buildup.
– The strip bars provide stable structural support and maintain consistent gap spacing
– The alternating arrangement creates an optimal drainage path for the oil
Pros:
– More uniform pressure – the material is squeezed evenly from all sides
– Better oil flow- the combination of round and flat surfaces creates more micro-channels for oil to escape
– Less clogging- round bars reduce the chance of fine particles getting stuck
– Cleaner cake – lower residual oil.
– Longer service life- the hybrid design reduces wear on both bars and the screw.
Our oil presses are engineered with the patented round-and-strip cage design. It’s not just about pressing harder – it’s about pressing smarter. The combination of round and strip bars creates the perfect balance of pressure, flow, and durability, giving you more oil, cleaner oil, and better long-term performance.
