Rape seed

 

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.

Setting of the expeller:

- first allow free openings with the terminal adjustment bolt. Tighten bolt gradually until the press cake appears as thin strings.

- turning of crank goes fairly easy
