Sunflower Oil Press Machine

What is a sunflower oil press machine used for?

Producing sunflower oil involves several steps, and the sunflower oil extractor is a crucial element in this process. The production process includes cleaning, husking, flaking, and grinding the sunflower seeds, before pressing the seeds, extracting the sunflower oil, and refining this oil.

A sunflower seed oil press is the machine used during the pressing and oil-extracting stages. During the pressing stage, the sunflower meal passes through a barrel in the sunflower oil press. The screw press gradually increases its pressure on the meal, and the oil squeezes out through slots in the barrel.

This process, which requires a sunflower oil extractor, results in crude sunflower oil and an oil cake. After the oil has been expelled successfully, solvent extraction is then used on the pressed oil cake to ensure the highest yield of sunflower oil. Afterwards, this solvent is removed from the oil. Producing sunflower oil requires a few different machines, and the sunflower seed oil press is one of the most important.

What are the benefits of cold sunflower oil pressing?

Some sunflower oil extractors can do both hot presses and cold presses. Although cold pressing does create some heat, the difference is that cold-pressed oil seeds are not pre-heated prior to being run through the sunflower oil press machine.

There are benefits to choosing a sunflower oil press that cold presses the seeds. For example, the process results in a high-yield oil that has a long shelf life. In addition, cold-pressed sunflower oil is full of healthy nutrients and antioxidants, like vitamin E. Because it is not processed in high temperatures by the sunflower oil expeller, cold-pressed oil retains more of its nutritious ingredients. As it boasts a high number of antioxidants, cold-pressed sunflower oil is great for use on the skin. And this sunflower oil is also low in fatty acids and saturated fat.
