// Edible oil processing

Oilseeds preparation - the foundation for quality

Oilseed preparation is the first crucial step in the processing process and lays the foundation for the quality of the end product. In this phase, the raw materials delivered are cleaned, foreign objects are removed and prepared for further processing.

Drying is an important step in preparation that reduces the moisture content of the oilseeds to an optimum level. Depending on the raw materials, fresh seeds can have too high a water content, which makes oil extraction (mechanical) more difficult and impairs quality.

Conditioning optimally prepares the cleaned and dried oilseeds for the subsequent processing steps. The seeds are heated to a certain temperature, which, among other things, loosens the cell structures and makes pressing easier.

Oilseeds processing - from raw materials to oil

Careful preparation and processing is followed by the actual oil extraction (mechanical) from the prepared seeds. Different processes are used depending on the desired end product and type of raw material.

In industrial production, continuous screw presses are usually used. The rotation of the screw transports and increasingly compresses the oilseeds, releasing the oil and producing press cake. This can be used as animal feed, fertilizer or for energy generation using biogas.
