A New Revolution in Okara Conveying: Say Goodbye to Mess and Wasted Labor with Our Screw Dispersal & Pneumatic System

Introduction: Is Your Okara Handling Stuck in the Manual Era?

During the production of tofu and soy milk, a large amount of a by-product called okara (soy pulp) is generated. This fiber-rich material is a valuable resource that can be repurposed as animal feed, fertilizer, or even processed into other food products. However, its high moisture content and high viscosity make it a significant challenge for many food processing plants to handle.

Traditional manual transport is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it often leads to spillage and wet, messy floors, which seriously impacts factory hygiene and image. Simple conveyor systems can also easily clog due to the sticky nature of okara, causing production downtime.

Now, an innovative solution is here to change everything. Our specially designed "Screw Dispersal & Pneumatic Conveying System" aims to solve the core problems of okara transport, helping you achieve a clean, automated production line from the very start.

How It Works: The Perfect Combination of Screw Dispersal and Pneumatic Conveying

Our system breaks down the complex task of conveying into two efficient stages:

1. Stage One – Precision Dispersal with a Screw Conveyor: The wet, sticky okara coming from the press filter first enters a custom-designed screw conveyor. The main purpose here is not just to move the okara, but to use the rotation of the screw blades to effectively break up clumps into a uniform, loose state. This prepares the material perfectly for the next stage.

2. Stage Two – Clean Conveying with Air Flow: After being broken up, the okara is fed in controlled amounts into a sealed pipeline. A powerful blower then generates a strong, stable airflow that "blows" the okara at high speed to a designated collection tank. The entire process is completed quickly and cleanly inside the enclosed pipeline.

Core Advantages: Designed to Solve Your Key Problems

This system is more than just a piece of equipment; it's a powerful tool for improving your factory's operational efficiency:

● Eliminate Mess and Maintain a Clean Facility: This is the most significant benefit of the system. Because the entire process happens in a sealed pipeline, it completely solves the problem of splashing and dripping. You no longer need staff to repeatedly clean the floors, so your facility can stay dry and tidy at all times, making it easy to meet food safety standards and impress clients and auditors.

● Achieve Full Automation and Significant Labor Savings: From the moment the okara is produced until it reaches the collection tank, no manual intervention is needed. The 2-3 workers who were previously responsible for handling the okara can be reassigned to more valuable tasks. This not only reduces labor costs but also prevents potential work-related injuries from manual handling.

● Effectively Solves Sticking and Clogging Issues: The screw conveyor's powerful dispersing action breaks down the sticky structure of the okara at the source. The high-speed airflow then ensures that the material has almost no chance to stick to the pipe walls, completely eliminating the common clogging problems seen with traditional belt or screw conveyors.

When Should You Install an Okara Conveying System?

We strongly recommend that you consider installing an automated okara conveying system when your production volume reaches or exceeds 200 kilograms per hour (200 kg/hr).

Why 200 kg/hr? At this scale, traditional manual handling becomes a serious bottleneck. It means you need to assign at least one or two full-time employees just to manage the okara, leading to ongoing labor costs. More importantly, the large amount of okara piling up and spilling during transport creates a major challenge for production flow and environmental hygiene.

For production lines exceeding 200 kg/hr, the savings in labor costs and the increase in production efficiency from an automated system can often provide a return on investment in a very short time, making it a highly cost-effective and necessary upgrade.

Conclusion: Investing in a Smart Conveying System is an Investment in Your Company's Future

Handling okara should no longer be a problem for your production line. As the food industry's demand for automation and hygiene continues to grow, choosing a truly effective solution will not only improve your production environment and reduce costs but will also enhance your company's overall competitiveness and support sustainable operations.
