  • How are seeds prepared for oil extraction?
  • Unit operations for preparation of seeds for oil extraction vary slightly depending on the physical properties and oil content (Figure 1). However, most oilseeds go through the process of cleaning, drying dehulling, size reduction, flaking cooking and tempering.
  • How are oilseeds shipped?
  • In the United States, oilseeds are shipped like any other grain, either in railroad cars or trucks, and received at elevators. Physical properties of the seeds, such as size, shape, bulk density and flowability affect the design of oilseed handling facilities.
  • Why do oilseeds need to be separated before oil extraction?
  • Most oilseeds need to be separated from their outer husk or shell prior to oil extraction. Dehulling also is referred to as shelling or decorticating. Dehulling increases oil production efficiency, capacity of the extraction equipment and reduces wear in the expeller as the husks are abrasive.
  • Which screw press is best for oil extraction?
  • The most durable and efficient mechanical screw press on the market ECOMEAL™ is EXPELLER®-pressed, sustainably-produced, chemical-free soybean meal. Available in either organic or non-organic soybean meal products. Solvent oilseed extraction equipment minimizing solvent use while maximizing extractor capacity and oil recovery.
  • How long does it take to extract oil from flaking seeds?
  • Oil from the cracked or flaked seeds should be extracted as quickly as possible (within 24 hours) to minimize meal and oil quality deterioration. Flaking mills, which can process 300 to 500 tons of seeds per day, are available. Buhler and CPM Roskamp are the major suppliers of flaking mills.
  • How do you remove foreign materials from seeds?
  • Foreign materials in seeds are typically separated out by a combination of rotating or vibrating coarse screens, reels and aspiration. This process is commonly referred to as scalping. Buhler, Carter-Day, and Kice Metal Products are some of the suppliers of scalping equipment. Sand and dirt also are removed by fine screening.
