Sesame oil press machine is a mechanical device specially used to extract edible oil from sesame seeds. Sesame oil is well-known for its unique aroma, rich nutrients and health benefits, and is widely used in food, health care products and cosmetics industries. The main function of sesame oil press is to extract oil from sesame by physical pressing method, usually cold pressing and hot pressing, suitable for different scale production needs.
Sesame oil pressing machine types
- Small sesame oil pressing machine: suitable for small factories, simple operation, economical price, suitable for small-scale production.
- Medium sesame oil pressing machine: suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, with high production capacity, common output is 500-2000 kg/hour.
- Large industrial sesame oil pressing machine: suitable for large-scale production, the output can reach tons, usually fully automated operation, capable of full-process oil extraction and refining.
- High-efficiency pressing: The spiral pressing technology can maximize the oil extraction rate and ensure the quality of the oil.
- Strong stability: The machine has a solid structure and is made of stainless steel, which is durable and easy to clean.
- Low energy consumption: Most modern sesame oil presses machine are highly efficient, reduce energy consumption, and are suitable for long-term use.
- Easy operation: Even first-time users can operate and maintain it through a simple operating interface.
- Healthy and environmentally friendly: The cold pressing process can effectively retain the natural ingredients of sesame, such as vitamin E, antioxidant ingredients, etc., and the oil produced is purer and more nutritious.
How to use and scope of sesame oil press machine
1. How to use
The use of sesame oil press machine is relatively simple. The following are the steps for using a typical machine:
1. Preparation: First clean the various parts of the machine to ensure that the machine is free of oil and impurities. Check whether the oil press is installed correctly and the power is connected correctly.
2. Raw material delivery: Put the cleaned sesame seeds into the feed port of the machine.
3. Start the machine: Start the machine and adjust the appropriate operating parameters (such as temperature, pressure, etc.).
4. Pressing: The machine starts running and presses the sesame seeds into oil through a screw press or hydraulic system.
5. Filtration and collection: The squeezed crude oil is processed through a filtration system to remove impurities and collect pure oil.
6. Cleaning and maintenance: Clean the oil press regularly after use, especially the oil press screw and filter part, to avoid oil residue causing equipment damage or oil pollution.
2. Scope of use
Sesame oil press machine is widely used in the following fields:
- Small sesame oil mill: suitable for small workshops to press oil for daily consumption and oil sales.
- Small and medium-sized food enterprises: can meet the large-scale production needs of small and medium-sized enterprises for sesame oil, suitable for food processing, catering industry, etc.
- Organic oil production: For those companies that focus on product health and quality, cold-pressed sesame oil press is an ideal choice for producing organic natural oil.
- Cosmetics industry: sesame oil is also widely used as a raw material for cosmetics and the production of skin care products due to its antioxidant and moisturizing properties.
- Traditional food production: sesame oil occupies an important position in traditional dishes in Asia, especially in China, India and the Middle East. The press provides producers in these regions with efficient oil extraction solutions.
Introduction to Sesame Oil Pressing Process
Sesame oil is usually produced in two ways: cold pressing and hot pressing. Regardless of the method, the basic process is similar and mainly includes the following steps:
1. Raw material preparation
The quality and yield of sesame oil directly depend on the quality of sesame. First, the sesame seeds need to be screened to remove impurities and unqualified seeds to ensure the use of high-quality sesame seeds.
2. Baking (hot pressing process)
If the hot pressing process is used, the sesame seeds need to be baked first. The baking process can stimulate the aroma of sesame seeds and make the oil release more easily. The temperature is usually controlled between 150℃ and 200℃, and the baking lasts for 15-30 minutes. After baking, the oil of sesame becomes more active and the oil yield is higher, but some nutrients (such as vitamin E) will be lost.
3. Pressing
- Cold pressing: Sesame seeds are directly pressed through a screw press, and the temperature is kept at a low level (usually not more than 50℃), which can better retain the natural ingredients in sesame oil.
- Hot pressing: The roasted sesame seeds are sent to the oil press for pressing. The processing at high temperature can improve the oil yield. The hot pressing process is suitable for places with high production demand, but the oil quality is slightly inferior to cold pressing.
4. Oil residue separation
After pressing, sesame oil is separated from the oil residue. Oil residue is the sesame residue that has not been pressed to produce oil. It is usually used as a by-product for feed or other purposes.
5. Oil filtration and refining (optional)
Newly pressed sesame oil contains impurities, floating oil and some water, so it needs to be filtered. The refining process can remove solid impurities and improve the color and taste of the oil. The refining process may include degumming, deacidification, decolorization and deodorization.
6. Packaging and storage
The filtered sesame oil can be packaged and put on the market for sale. In order to maintain the quality of the oil, it needs to be packaged in a light-proof and sealed container and stored at low temperature to extend the shelf life.
