Castor Oil Manufacturing Process, Oil Expeller
Step 4: Castor Seed Pressing. A screw oil press machine is used to crush the castor oil-seeds to facilitate removal of the oil. The first phase of this extraction is called pre-pressing. After pressing oil is collected and filtered and the filtered material is combined back with new, fresh seeds for repeat extraction.
Castor is one of the oldest cultivated crops; however, it contributes to only 0.15% of the vegetable oil produced in the world. The oil produced from this crop is considered to be of importance to the global specialty chemical industry because it is the only commercial source of a hydroxylated fatty acid. 9 Even though castor oil accounts for only 0.15% of the world production of vegetable
Castor Oil: Properties, Uses, and Optimization of Processing Parameters
Introduction. Castor oil has long been used commercially as a highly renewable resource for the chemical industry.1,2 It is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis L.) that is mainly cultivated in Africa, South America, and India.3,4 Major castor oil-producing countries include Brazil, China, and India.
Castor oil extracted from castor beans is an interesting naturally derived feedstock due to the relatively large proportion of ricinoleic acid (85-90%) present in its fatty acid profile.

castor-oil plant, ( Ricinus communis ), large plant of the spurge family ( Euphorbiaceae ), grown commercially for the pharmaceutical and industrial uses of its oil and for use in landscaping. Probably native to tropical Africa, the castor-oil plant has become naturalized throughout warm areas of the world.
Castor oil is increasingly becoming an important bio-based raw material for industrial applications. The oil is non-edible and can be extracted from castor seeds from the castor plant belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. The oil is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol. The presence of hydroxyl group, a double bond, carboxylic group and a long chain
Castor Oil: Properties, Uses, and Optimization of Processing
Castor oil, produced from castor beans, has long been considered to be of important commercial value primarily for the manufacturing of soaps, lubricants, and coatings, among others.
Castor plant is one of the potential plants producing oil that was commercially used by chemical industries. Castor plant is widely cultivated all around the world, especially in some countries like India, China, and Brazil, with the seed yield averages of around 700–1100 kg/ha.
Optimizing the Castor Oil Production Process
With castor oil prices recently averaging $2,000 per ton and market growth expected to reach $1.7 billion by 2025, processors who master the castor oil production process can unlock attractive profits. Building on decades of specialty oilseed processing experience, Anderson International can provide the expertise and the equipment that
