FAQ

1. What are the most important features of a cold-pressed oil press?

Low-temperature pressing (typically ≤60–80°C) prevents nutrients and natural flavors from being destroyed by high heat. This process preserves active ingredients in the oil (such as vitamins and phytosterols) to the greatest extent possible, resulting in a healthier and more authentic oil.

2. What oils can be extracted using an oil press?

Common raw materials include:

• Plant oils: peanuts, soybeans, rapeseed, olives, sesame seeds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, etc.

• Other materials: coconut (requires special processing), tea seeds, etc.

3. What does “cold-pressed oil” mean?

Cold-pressed oil is obtained at low temperatures (either without heating or with minimal heating) without undergoing high-temperature refining methods such as chemical solvent extraction or deodorization. Its key features include preservation of the natural flavor and nutrients of the raw materials, lighter color, and a lower smoke point (suitable for cold dishes and low-temperature cooking).

4. What materials are suitable for oil presses?

• Cold press: Best for raw materials with high oil content that are sensitive to heat (such as nuts, olives, and flaxseed). These require pre-screening and impurity removal.

• Hot press: Suitable for raw materials with medium oil content that require heating to release the oil (such as soybeans and rapeseed), or for materials that need moisture or impurity removal.

5. How easy is it to use an oil press?

Basic operation steps:

① Screen and clean the raw materials → ② Crush/pre-treat (required for some models) → ③ Load into the press chamber → ④ Start the machine → ⑤ Filter to obtain crude oil.

6. How hot does the oil get after pressing?

• Cold press: The oil outlet temperature is generally ≤80°C, with little to no temperature increase (oil is extracted by mechanical pressure).

• Hot press: Due to pre-roasting or heating, the outlet temperature can reach 100–150°C (heat helps increase extraction yield).

7. How much does an oil press cost?

Prices vary depending on type, production capacity, and brand:

• Small household presses: From a few thousand to 10,000–20,000 yuan (e.g., screw and hydraulic presses), suitable for home use.

• Commercial/industrial presses: From 50,000 yuan and above, depending on daily capacity (50 kg to 10 tons+) and automation level.

Recommendation: Choose based on your needs (home vs. commercial), raw material type, and budget. Prioritize cost-effectiveness and reliable after-sales service.
