Types of oil extractors
Production of edible oils can be done on a small scale or commercial basis. Commercial edible oil processing is different from small scale since there are steps that a small-scale producer would not necessarily need or want to employ with their product though still pocket huge profits. We produce two types of oil extractors at NME, the cold press, and the hot press oil extractor.
Cold-press oil extractors
Our cold oil press machine is simple and easy to operate. It has a high oil yield of 97 Percent. To enhance proper sanitation, it has a stainless steel oil guide plate. They come in different capacities ranging between 2 tonnes/day to 5 tonnes/day. It has reliable transmission systems mostly helical gears with greater torque while pressing.
Hot-press oil extractors.
Our hot press has two methods of oil pressing, hot and cold. It is more convenient to heat the seeds without additional frying with a built-in thermostat heating system. It is recommended to use a hot press in order to obtain a higher oil yield. The oil extracting rate is up to 85% depending on the type of oil seed. It produces a lower sound than that of the cold press machine but has a lower capacity compared to the cold press machine with a capacity ranging from 5Kg/hr to 15Kg/hr.
