The Sesame Oil Press Machine is a crucial piece of equipment designed to enhance the efficiency of sesame oil production and guarantee high - quality output. Given the increasing consumer demand for healthy and natural food products, the market potential for sesame oil is substantial. Selecting a suitable oil press can greatly improve production efficiency and oil quality to meet the requirements of diverse markets and users.
- High - efficiency pressing: The spiral pressing technology maximizes the oil extraction rate and ensures the oil's quality.
- Strong stability: The machine has a solid structure and is made of stainless steel, making it durable and easy to clean.
- Low energy consumption: Most modern sesame oil presses are highly efficient, reducing energy usage and suitable for long - term operation.
- Easy operation: Even first - time users can operate and maintain the machine through a simple interface.
- Healthy and environmentally friendly: The cold pressing process effectively preserves the natural ingredients of sesame, such as vitamin E and antioxidants, producing purer and more nutritious oil.
- Small sesame oil mill: Appropriate for small workshops to produce oil for daily use and sales.
- Small and medium - sized food enterprises: Meets the large - scale production needs of small and medium - sized companies for sesame oil, suitable for the food processing and catering industries.
- Organic oil production: Ideal for companies focused on health and quality, offering an option for producing organic natural oil.
- Cosmetics industry: Sesame oil is widely used as a raw material in cosmetics due to its antioxidant and moisturizing properties.
- Traditional food production: Sesame oil plays an important role in traditional dishes in Asia, especially in China, India, and the Middle East, providing efficient oil extraction solutions for producers in these regions.
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.
