Castor oil seed contains about 30%–50% oil ( m/m ). 74, 75 Castor oil can be extracted from castor beans by either mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, or a combination of pressing and extraction. 74 After harvesting, the seeds are allowed to dry so that the seed hull will split open, releasing the seed inside.
What is castor seed oil production line?
This castor seed oil production line adopts mechanical oil pressing technology. It connects a series of seed processing equipment to continuous oil extraction which can largely saving labor cost in production. The castor oil seeds undergoes many processes to produce castor oil.
How to make castor oil?
The castor oil seeds undergoes many processes to produce castor oil. The following steps: seed cleaning, seed cooking, oil extraction, oil clarification, oil storage and filling. Step 1: Castor Seed Dehulling Step 2: Castor Seed Cleaning Step 3: Castor Seed Cooking Step 4: Castor Seed Pressing Step 5: Castor Oil Clarification
How is castor seed extracted?
Castor seed contains about 30%–35% oil. The extraction process begins with the removal of the hull from the castor oil seeds. This can be accomplished with the help of a castor seed dehuller. After removing the hull from the seed, the seeds are cleaned in seed cleaner, the equipment has screens of various sizes that can remove inorganic impurities.
