• What is screw oil press?
  • Screw oil press is a compact-structured oil extrusion machine used for extracting edible oil from more than twenty kinds of oilseeds such as peanut, soybean, flaxseed, sunflower seed, rapeseed, etc. Different from integrated screw oil press machine, it is more suitable to large-scale cooking oil plants which produce various grades cooking oil.
  • What is a French screw press?
  • French screw presses, sometimes referred to as oil expeller press machines, are well known throughout the oilseed industry for their rugged construction and outstanding durability. We pride ourselves in partnering with customers to design and supply oil extraction machines and preparation equipment that best meet their needs.
  • How is oil extracted from a screw press?
  • After the initial oil has been recovered from the screw press, the oil cake remaining in the press is processed by solvent extraction to attain the maximum yield. A volatile hydrocarbon (most commonly hexane) dissolves the oil out of the oil cake, which is then recovered by distilling the light solvent out.
  • Who is French oil extraction machine & screw presses?
  • Today, French stands as a leading supplier and innovator of oil extraction machines and mechanical oilseed screw presses. French has provided thousands of roller mill and mechanical screw presses around the world, processing all major oilseeds with customers in more than 80 countries.
  • 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 do you extract oil from seeds?
  • The two most common processes to extract oil for most seeds, beans, and nuts is the Full Press Extraction Process where mechanical screw presses are used to extract the oil by squeezing the oil under high pressure, and the Preparation/Solvent Extraction Process where a solvent is mixed with the material to separate the oil.
