• What happens if you press corn germ in expeller? presses?
  • The pressing of wet process corn germ in Expeller? Presses can produce, within the barrels of the machines, sufficiently high degrees of temperature to cause charring of the cake and excessive coloring of the product oil.
  • What is a Anderson duo expeller??
  • Rupturing the germ to release the oil inside requires a high-torque workhorse like the Anderson Duo? Series Expeller?. Designed for difficult-to-process materials like corn germ, palm kernel, and grapeseed, the Duo¡¯s unique dual-pressing action can reduce residual oils to 5-6% in a single pass.
  • Is corn germ hard to process?
  • But because corn germ can be notoriously tough to process, it requires the right extraction equipment to press oil efficiently to get optimal returns. Here¡¯s what you need to know about processing corn germ to capitalize on the commercial value of its oil. Whole corn kernels only contain a small amount of fat, around 5% by weight.
  • Who makes expeller presses?
  • Anderson International, inventor of the Expeller?, manufactures expeller presses for the vegetable oil industry.
  • Can a high-shear extrusion system extract oil from corn germ?
  • As technologies continue to advance, high-shear extrusion systems may offer a more efficient alternative for extracting oil from wet processed corn germ. Extrusion systems like the Anderson Dox? Extruder eliminate the need for separate steam heating and drying steps required in traditional stack cooking vessels.
  • Where did the expeller? come from?
  • Its first use was on Linseed oil extraction at the Sherwin Williams Company. In 1907, the first Expeller? was exported to a Linseed plant in what is now Kranj, Slovenia. Since then, the Anderson Expeller? has processed over 60 different oil and fat bearing seeds, beans, and nuts.
