What oil press equipment are needed to open an oil mill?
Oil press is a kind of equipment to extract oil from oil crops by mechanical external force. It is widely used in vegetable oil production, such as soybean, peanut, rapeseed, etc. It is the core equipment of oil mill. The main function of oil press is to convert oilseeds into edible oil or industrial oil to meet food processing and market demand. The oil press machine realizes the separation of oil and grease through physical pressing or chemical extraction. Physical pressing utilizes a screw shaft or hydraulic device to exert pressure on the oilseed, causing the oil to seep out of the cells. Chemical extraction dissolves the fats and oils through solvents and then recovers them through evaporation. Physical pressing is more suitable for high quality oil production because it retains the nutrients and flavor of the raw material. So, what oil press equipment do you need to open an oil mill? First, the core oil press equipment: according to the needs of the selection process type 1. Hydraulic oil press Applicable scenarios: small-scale workshops, special oilseeds (such as sesame, walnut) or cold pressing process to retain the flavor of raw materials. Advantage: Wide adjustable pressure range, high oil quality, suitable for low temperature processing. Limitations: low capacity of single machine (e.g. daily processing capacity of about 100-200 kilograms), need to be used in parallel with more than one. 2. Screw press (mainstream choice) Technical classification: Hot press: Built-in steaming and stir-frying function to improve oil yield (e.g. soybean oil yield can be up to 18%-22% by hot pressing). Cold press model: low temperature pressing to retain the nutrients, suitable for linseed, camellia oil and other high-end oil products. Capacity matching: Small-sized workshop: choose single-screw machine (daily processing capacity of 300-500 kilograms). Medium-sized workshop: twin-screw or multi-stage press model (daily…
