How to choose an oil press machine

Sunflower oil is considered to be healthy for the heart. However, the packaged sunflower oil that you get in the market is refined and extracted with the help of solvents after the oil press procedure. This reduces the health benefits of the sunflower oil. This is why many people nowadays prefer to extract oil at home.


The sunflower extraction machine is not restricted to simply extracting oil from sunflower seeds. Instead it can be used to extract oil from any oil seeds like mustard, peanut, castor oil etc. Usually the companies that manufacture sunflower oil machine for home use also manufacture machines for commercial purposes.

However, there are some qualities common in both these which you should look for before you make the purchase.

First of all you need to pay attention to the following questions

  1.  Material that the machine is made of. Make sure that most of the parts of the machine are made of steel and avoid machines which have too many plastic parts because plastic is not durable.
  2. .Look at the capacity of the machine which will vary from one manufacturer to another. The capacity also depends on whether the machine is meant for domestic or commercial purposes.
  3.  You should check the yield of the sunflower oil machine which is better if it is higher. Higher yield means that it will extract the maximum amount of oil and less of it is wasted.
  4. Choose a machine that has an automatic temperature control system.
  5. The machine should be simple and easy to use and also provide safe operation. This means that when the machine is run there should be no danger from leaking electricity or getting hurt by the working of the machine.
  6. It is a better to adopt automatic filtration system, but this depends on your choice
  7. The surface of the machine should be painted evenly. However steel machines are usually not painted.

Hence when you decide to buy a sunflower oil machine make sure of the above mentioned points. Then again a sunflower extraction machine should be within your budget. So it is a good idea to check the market and conduct some research before you purchase the machine.
