  • How does a castor seed extraction machine work?
  • Due to cooking, the oil droplets in the seeds come together and also the cell wall is broken, this results in improved oil yield and low power consumption. A continuous screw press is used to extract the oil. The castor seed passes through the machine where the screw shaft is rotated in the parallel direction and crushing the seeds.
  • How is castor oil extracted?
  • The initial stage of oil extraction is done through pre-pressing. This is normally done using a high pressure, which uses continuous screw press with the help of a seed oil press machine. The extracted castor oil is filtered. The material which is ejected from the press is called the castor cake. This contains around 8-10% of castor oil.
  • Where is castor seed oil extracted?
  • We are experienced in turnkey Castor Seed Oil Extraction Plants. Our machines are working successfully in over 55 countries. Major Castor Seed producing countries are Brazil, India and Argentina. Other countries growing Castor include Indonesia, Indo-China, Madagascar, Angola and Mozambique.
  • What types of oil seeds can a castor seed oil press process?
  • It can process a wide range of oil seeds including castor seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, cotton seeds, sesame seeds, soybeans, etc. We offer two types of castor seed oil press: common oil expeller press and integrated oil press with filter press.
  • What is a small castor seed oil production line?
  • This small castor seed oil production line adopts mechanical oil pressing technology (screw pressing). It connects a series of processing equipment to realize continuous oil extraction which can largely saving labor cost in production.
  • How do castor seeds work?
  • Castor seeds contain 45 – 50 % oil content. After two stage pressing, about 8 % residual oil is left in the oilcake/meal. The castor seeds are conditioned using Steam in a Cooking Kettle. This process helps condition the seed, reduce moisture content, kills molds and insects.
