Sunflower Oil Press Machine

The oil press is the heart of the oil pressing process, but its appearance or design will determine the ease of use and overall speed of oil production. You will see several types of these machines, but we recommend two basic small sunflower oil presses: one is a regular screw press and the other is an automatic press with a vacuum filter.

Generally, a normal small screw oil press is composed of a feeder, a reducer, a pressing cage, a screw shaft and an extractor bracket. All these elements are combined to achieve continuous sunflower oil extraction with simplified operations. The bale chamber, containing the bale cage and the screw shaft, is the key element in the operation of this machine. The auger shaft on different models is equipped with different types of augers, and they rotate while the machine is running, pushing the sunflower seeds into the chamber. There the oil is separated by extrusion of a screw and a pressure ring.

The automatic oil press with vacuum filter is an improved model of the conventional screw type, saving labor and simplifying the oil processing step. It consists of a feeder, a press chamber, an electrical control, a heating system inside the press chamber, a vacuum filter drum and an oil indicator light, which helps the user to control the speed of the oil purification process. Both of these machines are quite efficient in processing sunflower oil, but the regular machine is slightly cheaper than the vacuum filter machine. However, an automatic oil press produces higher quality sunflower oil and can be set up very quickly. Before use, be sure to carefully read the instructions for the machine and become familiar with the operating characteristics and all methods of operation. Before starting, carry out a full check, as simple inattention can adversely affect the operation of the machine.

Advantages of a small sunflower oil press

• Lower and more affordable price: Although the price of small sunflower seed machines varies depending on the functional configuration and capacity of the machines, they are generally less expensive than large oil presses, so are more affordable for most. clients.
• Less Operational Requirements: Oil presses, large and small, perform all the functions required to produce edible oil. However, small sunflower oil presses are more practical because they require less operating conditions, such as a small working space.
• Less Labor: Most small oil presses only require 2-3 people to operate the entire line.
• Functionality: Small presses for sunflower oil are capable of both hot and cold pressing. In addition, they can also be used to press other types of oilseeds.
