  • Is dehulled flaxseed a convenient process?
  • The oil yield obtained at dehulled flaxseeds pressing was lower than that obtained at the whole seeds pressing, but taking into account that the specific mechanical energy and the oil/cake temperature obtained from dehulled seeds is lower we can consider that pressing dehulled seeds is a convenient process.
  • What happens if moisture content decreases in flaxseed?
  • It was also observed that the decrease in moisture content resulted in significant increases in oil and cake temperature; also, the specific mechanical energy (SME) increased significantly from 81.1 to 104.7 kJ/kg when the moisture content of the whole flaxseeds decreases from 12.6% to 6.3%.
  • What is the difference between screw pressing and solvent extraction?
  • Screw pressing is used for oil recovery up to 90-95%, while solvent extraction is capable of extracting 99%. In spite of its slightly lower yield, screw pressing is the most popular oil extraction method as the process is simple, continues, flexible and safe, .
  • Does speed of shaft screw press affect oil yield?
  • For the studied range, oil yield increases with increase in speed of shaft screw press and in feeding rate. Oil yield is directly proportional to compressive stress while influence of speed is marginal, and also it is possible to predict a further increase in oil yield with an increase in compressive stress.
  • When was the screw oil press invented?
  • The first screw oil press was developed in 1900 by V.D. Anderson in the United States. This press allows continuous operation of hydraulic presses which resulted in greater capacities with smaller equipments and less labor, .
  • What is a commercial oil extraction method?
  • The term ”extraction” is also used for mechanical oil expression, . Mechanical pressing and solvent extraction are the most commonly used methods for commercial oil extraction. Screw pressing is used for oil recovery up to 90-95%, while solvent extraction is capable of extracting 99%.
