  • What are oilseed presses used for?
  • Oilseed presses separate oilseeds such as sunflowers, canola, and soybeans into oil and oilseed meal. Pumpkin or grape seeds and brazil nuts are examples of materials that are less known and can be pressed for their oil in these machines. Oil from the press is raw oil, and is used either as a food product or as an industrial product.
  • What oil is used in an oilseed press?
  • Soybean oil (usually called "vegetable oil"), corn oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, peanut oil, olive oil, and safflower oil are common. This large range of oils points to the flexibility necessary in an oilseed press if it is to be used to press oil from a wide variety of seeds and nuts.
  • What is an oil expeller press?
  • French custom designs, manufactures and supports oilseed preparation equipment and screw presses, sometimes referred to as oil expeller presses. These oil extraction machines gather vegetable oil from oil-bearing seeds and nuts for food and industrial uses, including biodiesel and other fuels.
  • What are the different types of small oilseed presses?
  • Available small oilseed presses are of two major types; screw presses (expeller press) (Figure 2) or reducing screw/cage presses. Many are made overseas while at least one is now available from a United States manufacturer.
  • How much oil does an oil seed press produce?
  • As a result, the capacity of an oil seed press is often given in the weight of seeds that can be processed per hour. Depending on the material processed, the expected oil output will vary greatly. For canola, about 1/3 of the seed weight going into the press will be produced in oil, while the remaining 2/3 will be meal.
  • What materials can be pressed for oil?
  • Pumpkin or grape seeds and brazil nuts are examples of materials that are less known and can be pressed for their oil in these machines. Oil from the press is raw oil, and is used either as a food product or as an industrial product. Food products include raw oil in dressings or alone, pan frying applications, or in deep fat frying.
