As a leader in China’s hydraulic machinery sector, Shandong Zhongyou Heavy Industry leverages two decades of technical expertise to deliver its flagship 10kg hydraulic salt block press. Engineered for high precision, exceptional efficiency, and modular functionality, this machine has become the preferred choice for mid-to-large-scale farms and feed processing plants. By seamlessly integrating PLC-based intelligent control with advanced hydraulic transmission, it automates the entire workflow—from raw material mixing to finished product demolding—significantly boosting production stability and operational profitability.

I. Engineering Architecture: Synergistic Design with Four-Column Structure and Bidirectional Pressing
The press is built around a robust four-column, four-beam hydraulic frame, with main cylinder force options ranging from 500 to 1000 tons, capable of producing 10kg blocks in square, round, or custom shapes. Key innovations include:

1 Bidirectional Pressing Technology: Simultaneous pressure from both upper and lower molds ensures salt block density uniformity exceeds 98%, resulting in smooth edges, minimal cracking, and a 30% improvement in compressive strength. With a 500mm main cylinder stroke and an 800mm maximum mold opening height, the machine supports rapid mold changes for various specifications, completing each pressing cycle in just 18 seconds.

2  Intelligent PLC Control System: A user-friendly 10-inch touchscreen interface allows operation in both automatic and manual modes. Users can preset critical parameters such as pressure curves (with adjustable holding times of 2-8 seconds) and pressing speeds (0.2-0.6 m/s) for customized production of different mineral formulations. An integrated self-diagnostic system continuously monitors hydraulic oil temperature (35-55°C) and pressure fluctuations (error ≤1.2%), triggering audible and visual alarms for quick fault resolution and reduced downtime.

3  Modular Hydraulic Unit: A combined cartridge valve block design cuts pressure loss by 35% and enhances sealing reliability. The inclusion of a pre-unloading device minimizes hydraulic shock, enabling stable 24/7 continuous operation.

II. Performance Advantages: Breakthroughs in Efficiency, Quality, and Sustainability
1  50% Boost in Production Efficiency: PLC control ensures operational stability exceeding 99%, increasing daily output from 1,200 blocks with traditional methods to 2,000 blocks. For instance, a 10,000-cattle farm in Inner Mongolia reduced mold changeover time from 2 hours to just 20 minutes, helping capture peak-season demand and achieve a 40% monthly order increase.

2   Precise Quality Control: Adjustable PLC parameters facilitate the production of salt blocks with tailored formulations (sodium, calcium, iron, zinc, etc.) to meet the specific nutritional needs of dairy cows, beef cattle, and sheep at different growth stages. Field data shows a 12% increase in milk yield for dairy herds and an 18% improvement in lamb survival rates using customized blocks.

3  Commitment to Green Manufacturing: The integration of variable frequency drives reduces energy consumption by 30%, while the use of low-viscosity environmentally friendly hydraulic oil minimizes volatile emissions. An optional flue gas desulfurization unit controls sulfur dioxide emissions below 25mg/m³, outperforming national standards.

III. Global Applications and Tailored Support Solutions
The 10kg hydraulic salt block press has been exported to Australia, Brazil, South Africa, and other regions, serving diverse clients from family-run farms to large agricultural enterprises. Notable applications include:

1  Australian Dairy Project: A client selected the 1000-ton model to produce high-calcium salt blocks, effectively addressing postpartum calcium deficiency in dairy cows, with a remarkable machine failure rate of less than 0.2%.

2  African Ranch Expansion: Custom curved molds were developed to produce blocks suited for long-horned cattle, enhancing lick comfort and improving feed utilization by 25%.

Zhongyou provides comprehensive support covering site planning, installation, and operator training, backed by a 3-year warranty on wear-prone parts like hydraulic seals. Its 24/7 remote diagnostic system ensures rapid response to client needs, guaranteeing uninterrupted production.

Conclusion
The Shandong Zhongyou Heavy Industry 10kg Hydraulic Salt Block Press stands as a testament to the values of precision, efficiency, and environmental stewardship. It not only drives the intelligent transformation of salt block production but also delivers a cost-effective, highly reliable nutritional solution for the global livestock industry. With ongoing technological advancements, this equipment is poised to remain a critical asset for large-scale farms seeking to enhance competitiveness and lead the sector toward a more sustainable future.
