EXPELLER PRESSING

(Redirected from Expeller)
'Expeller pressing' is a chemical-free method for extracting oil from raw materials. The raw materials are squeezed under high pressure in a single step. When used for the extraction of food oils, typical raw materials are nuts, seeds and algae, which are supplied to the press in a continuous feed. Expeller presses can recover up to 75% of the oil from algae. As the raw material is pressed, friction causes it to heat up; in the case of harder nuts (which require higher pressures), the material can reach or exceed temperatures of 120 °F[1].
