What’s the Function of Oilcake during Oil Pressing Process?

Don’t think that oilcake is unusable and throw it away. Take most use of oilcake during OIL PRESSING PROCESS. And make you benefits maximization....

 BeforeOIL PRESSING PROCESS, the oilseeds need to be pretreated. The oil pretreatment process includes drying, cleaning, warming. Detail information is introduced as follow:

1.Dry. Moist seed will cause low yields and clog the cage (a part of the press). Moist seed may also get moldy.

2.Clean. The cage may be blocked by the dust. Chaff left in the seed will absorb part of the oil and keep it from getting squeezed out of the cage. The press can be wore out by the sand. Stones badly damage the piston.

3.Warm. High yield is the outcomes of warm seeds.

Oilseed that is slightly too damp might feel dry but will not press well. You can dry the damp but not moldy seeds in the sunshine. Never press moldy seed. It isn't safe for human consumption. You can spread the seed out thinly on the ground, on plastic, or on roofing tin for drying. So as to keep it from absorbing moisture in the cool night air, pile the seed up after the day and spread it out again the next day home oil press. If there's any chance of rain, or if the morning dew is heavy, you need to bag all the seed in the evening and put it back out the next morning. After two or more sunny days, the husks will be dry. Now bag the seed and store it for a week. In that time, the moisture in the seed will be drawn into the dry husk, and the entire seed becomes evenly dry.

Oilcake is a valuable by-product of pressing. Sesame oilcake is efficacious for human consuming. Sunflower oilcake is not suitable for people, but it will make a good addition to chicken, pig, or cattle feed. Sunflower oilcake is very fibrous for it has all the seed hulls in it. The ram press does not get all the oil out of the cake; it is oilier than most feed additives. It includes very few carbohydrates and high crude protein. It is advisable to be utilized as a feed additive than to be utilized for feed.
