For the cooking oil manufacturers,
the pressed oil with gold and bright color is our processing goals. But
the common oil press machine, especially the old type oil press, would only
produce the dark oil. What make this happen?
First, one of reasons
is that the cooking oil is not pure enough and the impurity is not filtered
thoroughly.
The old type oil press is without fine filter system, they all filter the oil using the labor force. Of course, the raw material can' be pressed completely.
In addition, some new oil press machine has adopted air-pressure filtration, or called concept filtration, also can't filter oil thoroughly. In the first condition, its principle is that putting oil into a sealed container whose bottom is equipped with filter cloth and screen. And the oil outlet is below the filter cloth and filter screen. We need to Increase the pressure of the container, press the oil through the filter cloth and filter screen to achieve the purpose of filtering oil. The advantage of this method is fast speed of filtering oil. Yet the disadvantage is the excessive fast speed, and the large pressure would lead to impurity.
In the second condition, the operation is complicated, after filtration, the operator needs to open the container to clean the oil residue. But cleaning is inconvenient and can not work continuously. This method uses two filter ways, one is adopting high air pressure filtration, and the standard of pressure resistance and air tightness of high pressure container is very strict. Otherwise, it is easy to lead to excessive pressure which would cause container burst and other potential safety hazard. So, when you purchase this kind of equipment, pay attention to check whether the machine manufacture has production qualification of high pressure container and qualified high pressure container.

The other has adopted vacuum filtration.
Its principle is to take the air inside container away. And the filter cloth
and filter screen is equipped on the top of container. When the oil flows through
the filter cloth and filter screen, the oil would be sucked into container by
vacuum. And the oil residue is left on the filter cloth and filter screen.
When the oil filtration is finished, the pressure would be reduced
automatically inside of the container to avoid potential safety hazard
problems. Thus the oil was filtered thoroughly, and it is convenient to clean
the oil meal.
Our oil press machine has adopted vacuum
filtration method.
We have done a detailed
market survey and research of combine peanut, sunflower seeds, flax seeds
oil, and rapeseeds oil, and find that two other factors has lead to
the deep color and dark of the oil.
Secondly, there are hot press and cold press about oil press methods. The pretreament is done before the hot press. In this method, the material is roasted until mature or medium mature, thus to improve the oil flowability in the crops and to increase the activity of the oil molecules. But at the same time, the fire temperature can't be completely controlled which would lead to the surface carbonization of the oil seeds. The oil crops carbonization would enter the press chamber through spin squeezing in the condition of high pressure. Carbide particles and tiny flakes mixed in oil will flow out from outlet. So the crude oil looks black which would affect the oil color and taste seriously.

The last but not least,
crop linoleic acid and melanin, such as flax seeds and
rapeseed, the pressed oil color is still dark, even using the cold press
method. To solve this problem, you must use oil refining technology bleaching to
achieve the very significant results.
