Castor oil seed contains about 30%?50% oil ( m/m ). 74, 75 Castor oil can be extracted from castor beans by either mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, or a combination of pressing and extraction. 74 After harvesting, the seeds are allowed to dry so that the seed hull will split open, releasing the seed inside.
How does a castor seed extraction machine work?
Due to cooking, the oil droplets in the seeds come together and also the cell wall is broken, this results in improved oil yield and low power consumption. A continuous screw press is used to extract the oil. The castor seed passes through the machine where the screw shaft is rotated in the parallel direction and crushing the seeds.
How to choose a castor oil extractor machine?
Choose a right machine model with an appropriate capacity that meets your needs. Cold pressing method -Ensure the cold press castor oil extractor machine employs a cold-pressing method to preserve the oil’s natural qualities. Cold pressing involves minimal heat, which is essential for extracting high-quality castor oil.
What is castor seed oil production line?
This castor seed oil production line adopts mechanical oil pressing technology. It connects a series of seed processing equipment to continuous oil extraction which can largely saving labor cost in production. The castor oil seeds undergoes many processes to produce castor oil.
