• What is an oil expeller press?
  • But that¡¯s not our focus today. An expeller press ¨C also referred to as an oil press, oil expeller, or oil expeller machine ¨C is employed when you want to use the mechanical extraction process. This technique is fairly straightforward: it uses pressure to extrude oil from the seeds, nuts or other oil-bearing materials.
  • Does microwave cooking increase expeller oil yield?
  • The use of a continuous microwave process for combined conditioning of whole seeds at 50 ¡ãC and subsequent cooking of flaked seeds at 100 ¡ãC gave a 4.3% increase in expeller oil yield, compared with steam conditioning and cooking at the same temperature.
  • Does a screw press affect oil yield?
  • In these experiments, the performance of the screw press (oil yield) followed a second order decreasing polynomial function of seed moisture content (Singh et al. 2002). The moisture content of seeds during the pressing process also affects the quality of oil.
  • Why should you choose Kumar Oil Expeller?
  • The special feature of Kumar expellers are the built-in screw conveyors. These fully-enclosed systems convey oil efficiently while keeping the shop floor clean and your processes running smoothly. Further, when oil is extracted using an oil expeller, there are usually some amount of fines in it.
  • Does mw cooking improve pressed oil yield?
  • This enhanced effect of MW cooking of flaked seeds on the pressed oil yield has not been reported previously. However, Oberndorfer and L¨¹cke, 1999 reported that MW pre-treated canola seeds reduced the oil viscosity, thereby increasing the oil fluidity and flowrate, facilitating the release of oil from the seeds after the cell walls rupture.
  • What is the oil extraction process?
  • Well, the answer to these questions lies in the oil extraction process. When oil is extracted from any plant-based oil-bearing material ¨C it could be seeds, nuts, fruit or bran ¨C there are two main routes you could take to extract your oil from it: mechanical extraction or solvent extraction.
