• 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.
  • How to extract oleaginous seeds without solvent?
  • The oil extraction by mechanical pressing is the most common method for continuous treatment of oleaginous seeds without solvent. Different types of presses can be used depending on the purpose (expeller, expander, and twin-screw extruder) and on the capacity range (3 kg h ?1 to 150 t day ?1).
  • What is the difference between expander and expeller?
  • The expander is a unit assigned to seed or product preparation, whereas the expeller is the machine for mechanical oil separation from plant material or similar solid-liquid separation tasks.
  • What happens during screw expeller processing of palm kernel seeds?
  • Heat transfer between the pressing chamber and the oil and oilcake streams during screw expeller processing of palm kernel seeds. Journal of Food Engineering, 31 (1), 1¨C7. Omobuwajo, T. O., Ige, M. T., & Ajayi, A. O. (1998). Theoretical prediction of extrusion pressure and oil flow rate during screw expeller processing of palm kernel seeds.
  • Who invented the oil expeller?
  • The name of the expeller and the expelling process go back to an invention of Anderson International Corp. It has been patented by Mr. Anderson and protected by the corresponding trademark. Through early licensee agreements the expeller soon became the standard machine in the modern oil milling industry worldwide.
  • How does seed production affect oil extraction process?
  • The increase in the quantity of seed being slightly lower than the increase in oil production, it demonstrates an improvement of oil extraction processes. Generally, the oil extraction is based on two main steps: pressing (solid¨Cliquid expression) and solvent extraction.
