• 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.
  • 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 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.
  • Which oil pressing machines are best for small and middle-scale farmers?
  • Our oil pressing machines are ideal solutions for small and middle-scale farmers. They have low space requirements, but offer top performance. The expeller presses Farmet UNO and Farmet DUO are intended for cold pressing of oilseeds without any preceding seed treatment.
  • How hot does an expeller press get?
  • As the raw material is pressed, friction causes it to heat. In the case of harder nuts (which require higher pressures) the material can exceed temperatures of 120 ¡ãF (49 ¡ãC). An expeller press is a screw-type machine that mainly presses oil seeds through a caged barrel-like cavity.
  • How do oilpresses work?
  • With our oilpresses it is possible to press almost every oilseeds, nuts or vegetable seeds. All our oil presses have built-in presshead heating systems, digital speed control, digital temperature control and the most efficient direct gear transmission. The outlet oil temperature of the oil is ideally at 36¡ãC ¨C 40¡ãC and thus in cold-press quality.
