Oilseed Presses Penn State University
An oilseed press (Fig. 1) is the heart of an oilseed pressing operation. Oilseed presses separate oilseeds such as sunflowers, canola, and soybeans into oil and oilseed meal. Pumpkin or grape seeds and brazil nuts are examples of materials that are less known and can be
accepted prac ces for small‐scale oilseed processing in the Northeast. As of the publica on of this document, the prac ces discussed within are current and up to date. This guide is a joint produc‐ on between Penn State and the University of Vermont. This guide will be made available in PDF

Development of an Oilseed Food and Penn State
Currently Penn State's University Park campus operates an oilseed press for the cold-pressing of oils (Fig. 1). The primary feedstock is canola, a black seed about 1⁄2 the size of a peppercorn germ. The oil is filtered and used as fuel in two agricultural machines modified for this purpose. Much of the canola is grown on Penn State farmland near
