The technology of single-step cold pressing is ideal for those who wish to reach the highest possible quality of oil. Cold pressing in a single step is the gentlest manner of oilseed processing. The temperature of the expelled oil normally does not exceed 45 °C which ensures the preservation of the nutritionally most valuable substances. End products of this technology are a high-quality filtered oil, and press cake convenient for the use in animal feed industry.
Compact CP1 involves a single-step cold pressing using the presses FS 350.
Expelled oil flows into the sedimentation tank where the solids – particles present in raw oil – settle at the bottom. The settled solids are separated out from the oil by an integrated separator and fed back to the press for another pressing. The sedimentation tank contains integrated heating of the oil, which, together with solids-separation, ensures a high efficiency of the filtration process.
The Compact pressing shop can be further expanded with the Dehulling and Shell Separation module, which allows the separation of kernels from shells, where part of the shells is removed and discharged as a by-product. This is especially suitable for processing sunflower and soybean seeds. Removing the shells increases the protein content in the pressed cakes, thus enhancing their feed value. The shells can be processed using the shell granulation accessory, which transforms the shells into pellets, thereby reducing the volume required for shell storage and enabling their energy utilization.
Another optional accessory is Continuous Seed Weighing at the technology input, and for increased cleaning requirements, we recommend including a Destoner to separate stones and heavier impurities.
For treating the pressed cakes, it is possible to purchase Moisturizing of the Cakes with water or additives and Granulation of the Cakes immediately after pressing. For hot pressing technologies, we also recommend Cooling of the Cakes using a counterflow cooler.
The filtered oil is pushed out by a filtration pump and must be directed into a tank. We recommend supplementing with an Oil Storage solution, using plastic tanks with capacities of 1 m³ or 7 m³. The oil storage can be equipped with a dispensing pump that enables transferring oil from the storage tanks into transport containers or tank trucks.
The modular press shop Compact CP1 is offered at capacities between 200 and 700 kg per hour.
