A screw oil press (also called an expeller or oil expeller) uses a continuously rotating helical screw inside a tapered barrel cage to compress oilseeds progressively, squeezing oil out through the cage openings while expelling the residual oil cake from the end of the screw. The process is continuous and mechanical, requiring no solvents. The key variables are: barrel cage opening size (which affects oil clarity and cake oil content), screw compression ratio, barrel temperature (controlled by heating jackets or residual frictional heat in hot pressing), seed moisture content, and seed feeding rate. Cold press machines operate at lower temperatures — typically achieved by water cooling the barrel — to avoid heat-induced changes to the oil. Hot press machines condition seeds with heat before pressing, improving oil yield at the cost of some heat-related changes to oil colour and flavour.

Before requesting a quotation, specify: (1) oilseed type and variety (sunflower, groundnut, soybean, sesame, rapeseed, coconut, palm kernel, corn germ, or other); (2) seed condition — moisture content and whether seeds require cleaning or dehulling before pressing (do not claim oil yield without validated trial data); (3) required processing capacity in tonnes of seed per day or kg/hour; (4) cold or hot pressing; (5) whether post-press filtration is required (a plate-and-frame filter press or filter-centrifuge to clarify crude pressed oil); (6) whether refining stages are required downstream; (7) oil cake handling — will it be used for animal feed, protein extraction, or disposal; (8) available utilities (electrical supply, water for cooling, compressed air); (9) available floor area; (10) CE marking or other market certification requirements. Cleaning and dehulling of seeds before pressing substantially improves oil quality and reduces cage wear — ask suppliers whether seed preparation equipment is included in their scope.
