• What is Kumar X’ Press series oil expeller MAX 200?
  • Kumar X’ Press Series Oil Expeller Max 200 is currently the largest in the range with rigorous and high design standards to deliver world class performance and reliability with minimum investment.
  • 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 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 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.
  • 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 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.
