What are the different uses of a commercial oil extraction machine?

The first thing to understand here is that in the process of extracting oil from any nut, seed, fruit or leaf involves expelling and pressing. The modern commercial oil extraction machine has the ability to perform both these functions. This is why you do not need to buy a separate commercial oil press machine.

Modern oil extraction machines are versatile and you can buy the different types to accommodate different seeds, nuts etc. The oils could be cooking oils, like sunflower oil, mustard oil, olive oil etc. They can also be used for fragrances, cosmetics, soaps, biofuel, pet food, paint and wood treatments.

Oil seeds – cottonseed, hemp, sesame, sunflower, amaranth and canola are mainly used for cooking, but can also be used in fuels and paints.

Nuts – peanuts, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and many others. These oils are more expensive compared to others, because the process of extraction is difficult. Nut oils are mainly used as edible oils, but sometimes are also used in cosmetics.

Vegetables and fruits – these oils are extracted from olives, palm fruit, and avocadoes among others. They are used as edible oils and also in cosmetics, soaps and biofuels. Oils derived from citrus fruits are used as essential oils.

Other plants – plants that have more leaves like eucalyptus, chamomile, oregano, etc. also contain oil. These can be used as essential oils in cosmetics, candles, soaps and perfumes. The essential oils themselves can also be used as perfumes or for health benefits.

Here you need to bear in mind that although the commercial oil extraction machine used for oil seeds and nuts are similar and can often be used for both purposes. However, the ones meant to extract oil from vegetables, fruits and leaves or flowers are different. Cooking oils from seeds and nuts sell in larger quantities compared to others.

Hence if you want to get into the oil mill business, the first thing you need to decide is the kind of raw material you are going to use for your commercial oil press machine. Once you have decided this then you will be able to decide on which type of machine you should buy.
