Small-Scale Oilseed Presses
Highlighting six small-scale, commercially-available oilseed press designs. Includes interviews with press operators and general advice on running an oilseed
An oilseed press is a machine that lies at the center of vegetable oil extraction. This is due to the fact that this technology is designed to release oil from oilseeds.Multiple oilseed press layouts have been developed over time to complete this process, with each having its

-scale oilseed presses. While there is a great deal of interest in the produc-tion of oilseeds, many questions arise about post-harvesting processing, and many of these concerns revolve around the efficiency, affordability, and best practices of an oilseed press, which is the heart of the oilseed production system. Most commercially-available oilseed presses have the same basic compo-nents

Oilseed Processing for Small-Scale Producers
Page 4 Oilseed Processing for Small-Scale Producers If you want to process larger amounts of oilseed crops, a 3-ton to 10-ton per day cage press may be what you want. You can also link multiple cylinder presses in tandem to perform the same function. Another option is the Instapro press, which is a semi-industrial-scale press available in

SMALL SCALE OILSEED PROCESSING
SMALL SCALE OILSEED PROCESSING Most countries in the world have large refineries producing oil from a variety of plants including sunflower, rapeseed, mustard seed, soya, maize, and palm. These large centralised enterprises have the advantage of high efficiency and reduced costs due to the economy of scale.

This article investigates the technical feasibility of small-scale oilseed production and on-farm processing of biodiesel and livestock feed using primary data from two Vermont farms. Results indicate that small-scale production of sunflowers, canola, and soybeans, and on-farm processing of
