This study investigates the pressure distribution and the mechanism of particle destruction in oil-containing material flowing through the channels of a screw oil press, including confuser sections. Confusers, which are smoothly narrowing channels, play a key role in increasing the flow velocity and generating significant pressure gradients. Numerical modeling was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics software with the Laminar Flow module for a stationary regime. The Navier–Stokes equation was sup
