  • What is the oil recovery rate of a prepress cake?
  • The oil recovery rate of 65 to 75% translates to approximately 18 to 20% residual oil content in the pre-press cakes. Pre-pressing systems today may have seed processing capacities of 3,000 metric tons per day and more. The full-pressing process serves to extract the oil mechanically from the seed material without the support of a solvent wash.
  • Who invented the oil expeller?
  • The name of the expeller and the expelling process go back to an invention of Anderson International Corp. It has been patented by Mr. Anderson and protected by the corresponding trademark. Through early licensee agreements the expeller soon became the standard machine in the modern oil milling industry worldwide.
  • Why does lubrication decrease the effectiveness of a press cake?
  • However, if the space between the bars is too small or the compaction of the press cake is too high, the oil rises along the screw towards feed. This causes a phenomenon of lubrication reducing friction between the cake and the bars and thus decreases the effectiveness of the press.
  • How is oil extracted from a cake?
  • At the screw head, a cone partially obstructs the discharge area of the meal causing the pressure increase needed to extract oil. Pressures up to 2 t cm 2 (196 MPa) have been found on some devices (François 1974). The oil exuded from the cake is discharged through the slots between the bars.
