Expeller properties Remove all stones and sand by sifting first through a coarse and subsequently a fine sieve. Turn the crank at 45 – 50 rounds per minute to allow the oil to flow to the oil outlet. Seed must be well dried in the sun to a moisture content between 6 – 8%. Above 8% moisture content extraction efficiency drops dramatically.
