• What is the Anderson Lion expeller oil press?
  • The Anderson Lion Expeller Oil press is designed to continue Anderson¡¯s long-standing tradition of providing the industry with the most durable and efficient mechanical screw presses on the market.
  • What is industrial pressing of oilseeds?
  • Industrial pressing of oilseeds is realized using continuous screw presses. The presses are fed with crude or pre-treated seeds. Types of pre-treatments (thermal pre-treatment, size reduction, mechanical sieving, etc.) differ for various seed species (Carr 1997). Each type of seed pre-treatment provides its own advantages.
  • What is a screw press expeller?
  • The expellers (named after the first screw press founded by Anderson in 1902) are the screw presses most often encountered in the industry. They consist of a screw rotating in a horizontal perforated barrel formed by regularly spaced metal bars (this space can vary from 0.5 to 0.1 mm); the oil flows along the barrel.
  • Do different types of oilseeds produce the same pressing performance?
  • Many authors have tested different varieties of a same oilseed species in identical conditions and compared the resulting pressing performance (Table 3).
  • 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.
  • What is the compression ratio of a seed press?
  • These forces are of two types: radial (thrust on the cage) and axial (taking forward the matter in the press) (Laisney 1984). The ratio of available volumes between inlet and outlet of the press V1 / V2 gives the compression ratio of the press. Ideally, this ratio should be around 4 to 4.5 for seed containing 50 % of oil.
