• What is a canola oil press machine?
  • The rapeseed oil press machine is a piece of equipment used in the canola oil processing plant. It performs the functions of automatic barrel heating, pressing, and oil filtering. The feeder equipped helps increase production efficiency and save labor.
  • What is a Canola Oil Processing Plant?
  • A Canola Oil Processing Plant is a small scale facility for extracting canola oil using a pressing method. The rapeseeds are cleaned, roasted, screw pressed, and refined using the canola oil processing equipment. The rapeseed oil press machine used in this process has the functions of automatic barrel heating, pressing, and oil filtering.
  • What is an oilseed press?
  • Oilseed presses essentially extrude or ¡®press¡¯ vegetable oil from oil-bearing seeds, which include soybean, sunflower, peanut, safflower, canola, sesame, niger, castor bean, linseed, mustard, coconut, olive, and oil palm. The simplicity of this procedure is shadowed by the diversity of oilseed press designs that perform it.
  • How are canola seeds processed?
  • Following preconditioning, canola seeds are next crushed and flaked before being heated slightly. These processes help to maximize oil recovery. The canola flakes are then “prepressed” in screw presses or expellers to reduce the oil content from about 42% in the seed (on an 8% moisture basis) to between 16-20%.
  • How is canola oil extracted?
  • Oil may be extracted using either hexane (“solvent”) extraction or by “cold-pressing”. Below are some pictures of canola oil plant, the first one is canola oil pressing plant, the second one shows the refining workshop of canola oil plant.
  • How does a rapeseed oil press machine function?
  • In a rapeseed oil press machine, the roasted rapeseeds are fed in and moved forward by the worm that rotates with the main shaft. As the volume of the pressing chamber decreases, the pressure within the chamber increases. The rapeseed oil press machine is equipped with an automatic barrel heating system.
