My primary work involves researching various factories and collecting valuable information about different types of machines. One machine I was very interested in was an oil expeller machine . In this article, I will share my knowledge about my oil extraction machines which I had received during my visit.

Due to its high source of Provitamin A, it is naturally red. This oil is usually used to cook due to the high saturation of the refined product (oxidative stability) when you use it for frying. Palm oil is one of the most highly saturated vegetable fats and does not contain cholesterol, however consuming saturated fats enhances one person's LDL and HDL cholesterol.

Oil-seed-type sunflower seeds are used for oil production, rather than the seeds of common snack seeds. Sunflower Oil Extraction There are two method to extract oil from sunflower seed that is Hot pressed and cold pressed with slightly different flavors in the finished product. In a cold press, the hull is removed; The seeds are broken into small pieces and send to oil extraction machine which extract oil from the seeds, and the oilckae throughout the cone. As a result oil is usually labeled as "extra-virgin" sunflower oil, but this process leaves much oil in the oilseed. Hot p...
