The Domestic Oil Extractor Machine is also known as an Oil Press or Expeller machine, it is used to extract oils out of a plant product such as seeds by using high pressure and heat. This machine use a variety of processes to extract oil from various sources like seeds and nuts. The basic principle involves crushing the raw materials and then applying heat or pressure to release the oil. This machine features a 400 watts motor and the machine's body is made using stainless steel material which enhances durability and doesn't interfere with the nutritional value and natural essence of the oil.

Usage
:
Step 1: Preparation
Choose Your Seeds or Nuts : Determine which type of oil you want to extract based on your cooking needs and preferences. Common choices include sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, canola seeds, or nuts like walnuts and almonds.
Clean the Seeds/Nuts : Rinse them to remove any dirt or contaminants. Ensure they are completely dry before proceeding, as moisture can affect the oil extraction process.
Preheat the Machine : Some oil press machines require preheating for optimal oil extraction. Check your user manual to see if this step is necessary.
Step 2: Setting Up the Machine
Assemble the Machine : Ensure all parts of the oil press machine are correctly assembled. This usually includes attaching the oil collector and checking for proper alignment.
Set the Temperature : Depending on the type of seeds or nuts you are using, you may need to adjust the temperature settings. Higher temperatures can increase extraction rates but may also affect the oil’s flavor and nutritional quality.
Step 3: Oil Extraction
Add the Seeds/Nuts : Pour the prepared seeds or nuts into the hopper of the machine. Do not overload the machine, as this can impede the extraction process.
Start the Machine : Turn on the oil press machine. It will automatically start the extraction process, squeezing the oil out of the seeds/nuts.
Monitor the Process : Keep an eye on the machine as it operates. Most automatic machines will allow you to see the amount of oil being extracted and provide alerts for any issues.
Step 4: Collecting the Oil
Stop the Machine : Once the oil extraction process is complete, turn off the machine. This usually happens when the seeds or nuts have been fully pressed.
Collect the Oil : Carefully collect the freshly extracted oil from the container. It’s a good idea to use a funnel to avoid spills.
Store the Oil : Transfer the oil into a clean, airtight glass or metal container. Store it in a cool, dark place to preserve its quality.
Step 5: Cleaning the Machine
Disassemble the Parts : After the machine has cooled down, disassemble it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Clean Thoroughly : Use warm, soapy water to clean the parts. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could linger and contaminate future batches of oil.
Dry Completely : Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before reassembling or storing the machine.
Maintenance :
Periodic Deep Cleaning : In addition to regular cleaning, perform a deep clean every few months. This involves disassembling the entire unit and cleaning each component meticulously.
Use Appropriate Lubricants : Choose food-grade lubricants to ensure safety during oil production.
Screws and Fasteners : Ensure they are tight to prevent vibrations that can lead to mechanical failure.
Heating Elements : Check for discoloration or damage, as these are indicators of overheating.
Listen for Unusual Noises : Grinding or squealing sounds can indicate a problem that requires immediate attention.
Check for Consistent Oil Quality : If you notice a significant change in oil quality or yield, it may be time for a deeper inspection or professional servicing.
Applications
:
Food Industry : The primary application of automatic oil press machines is in the food industry, where they are utilized to produce edible oils. These machines can extract oils from seeds such as sunflower, soybean, peanut, sesame, and rapeseed. The cold-press method employed by these machines helps retain the natural flavors, aromas, and nutritional values of the oils, making them ideal for cooking, salad dressings, and gourmet food products.
Small-Scale Oil Production : Many small businesses and startups utilize automatic oil press machines for local or artisanal oil production. These setups allow entrepreneurs to create niche products tailored to specific markets or consumer preferences while ensuring high-quality output.
Animal Feed : The by-products generated from oil extraction, such as oil cakes, are rich in protein and serve as valuable components in the formulation of animal feed.
