After extrusion, cottonseed can be fed into a screw press like the Anderson Oil Expeller®, which uses physical force to separate the oil from the solid meal. Processing cottonseed with a combination of extrusion cooking and Expeller® pressing can reduce oil residuals to less than 6% while minimizing toxins.
Which machine is used in cottonseed oil manufacturing plant?
One of the widely used machine used in cottonseed oil manufacturing plant is screw cottonseed oil machine, a type of cottonseed oil machinery. It¡¯s very simple in nature and can be used to extract oil from various seed plants. The screw cottonseed oil press is a mini cottonseed oil machine that can be used for small-scale extraction oil plants.
How is cottonseed processed?
Cottonseed could either be processed by the traditional crude method of crushing seed without Delinting in un-decorticated form or by scientific processing used for Cotton Seed Processing, which involves removal of De-linters, decortication, separation of hull, expelling, solvent extraction and refining of oil.
What is the difference between cotton seed processing and traditional method?
Scientific processing of Cotton Seed Processing results in extraction of nearly entire cottonseed oil, while the oil cake obtained by traditional method still contains about 7% residual oil. This high residual oil is not required by the animals but ironically much in demand because of misconception among the dairymen.
