• What is the difference between expeller pressed and cold pressed oil extraction?
  • The difference between expeller pressed vs cold pressed oil extraction is that during the latter process, the fruit/nuts/seeds are pressed using either a bladder press (used with softer fruits), hydraulic press, or low resistance expeller pressing so as not to exceed the 122¡ãF temperature requirement.
  • What is the difference between an expeller press and a cold press?
  • Typically, when these ingredients are pressed, they are at a much lower temperature (122? F) compared to an expeller press. Note: Unlike oilseed presses, absolutely no heat is used when making cold-pressed oils with one of Goodnature¡¯s cold-press machines.
  • How does an expeller press work?
  • An expeller press or ¡°screw press,¡± is a machine that presses seeds and nuts through a cavity and uses intense friction and pressure to extract oil. During this process, there isn¡¯t any added heat but since the seeds are pressed using friction, heat is created (around 140-210? F). Once the seeds are pressed, the oil is removed.
  • What can you do with a palm oil press?
  • We are constantly looking for alternative uses for the press. With the press you can not only squeeze oil from all seeds and nuts with more than 25% oil, but you can also use the press as an olive press (including the pit), palm fruit press, coffee grinder, peanut butter machine and you can even make avocado oil from dried avocados with it.
  • How does an oilseed press work?
  • When pressing seeds or other ingredients to create cold-pressed oils using an oilseed press, less heat is used. The seeds or ingredients are placed in the press and then are crushed by the machine to obtain the oil. Typically, when these ingredients are pressed, they are at a much lower temperature (122? F) compared to an expeller press.
  • What is the difference between expeller pressed oil and solvent-extracted oil?
  • Expeller-pressed oils can also be RBD and/or winterized the same as solvent-extracted oils (physical or chemical). Expeller pressing removes about 87-95% of the oils from the nuts/seeds, making it the second most efficient. Cold-processed oils cannot exceed 122¡ãF during the extraction process.
