Small-scale oil extraction uses mechanical pressing to separate edible oil from oilseeds and nuts. The main machine type is the screw press (expeller), which continuously advances oilseed through a barrel using a rotating screw, pressing out oil through slots in the barrel wall. Cold-press machines operate at lower temperatures to preserve flavour compounds and produce artisan or premium oils. Hot-press machines pre-heat the seed before pressing to improve oil yield. For most small-scale applications, a simple single-screw expeller covers a wide range of seeds including sunflower, groundnut (peanut), soybean, sesame, moringa, flaxseed, and coconut copra. Palm kernel oil requires a dedicated cracker and separator before the press. The yield from mechanical pressing ranges from 60–90% of the oil content of the seed, depending on the seed type, moisture content, and press configuration — solvent extraction is required to recover residual oil from the press cake, but this is rarely practical at small scale. Ask suppliers to confirm the expected oil yield for your specific seed type and condition.
Frequently asked questions
What output can I expect from a small oil press?
Oil press output depends on the seed type and the machine size. A small-to-medium screw press typically processes 50–200 kg of seed per hour. Oil yield from a mechanical press depends on the oil content of the seed: sunflower seed at 40–45% oil content will yield approximately 30–36% oil by weight after pressing (with the remainder in the press cake). Groundnut at 40–50% oil content yields approximately 32–40% oil by weight. Ask the supplier to provide oil yield data for your specific seed type and moisture content, and understand that yields on the supplier's test data may differ from your results if your seed quality or conditioning differs.
