The corn oil extraction machine, also known as screw oil press machine, is used for the mechanical pressing of corn germ oil. The corn germ oil press machine adopts directional pressure bearing and multi-stage propulsion to realize high oil yield.
What are the features of corn germ oil press machine?
The corn germ oil press machine adopts directional pressure bearing and multi-stage propulsion to realize high oil yield. Scientific heating, automatic control of pressing temperature, high quality of pressed corn oil are among the outstanding features.
Is corn germ hard to process?
But because corn germ can be notoriously tough to process, it requires the right extraction equipment to press oil efficiently to get optimal returns. Here’s what you need to know about processing corn germ to capitalize on the commercial value of its oil. Whole corn kernels only contain a small amount of fat, around 5% by weight.
Can a high-shear extrusion system extract oil from corn germ?
As technologies continue to advance, high-shear extrusion systems may offer a more efficient alternative for extracting oil from wet processed corn germ. Extrusion systems like the Anderson Dox Extruder eliminate the need for separate steam heating and drying steps required in traditional stack cooking vessels.
How much oil does corn germ contain?
Here’s what you need to know about processing corn germ to capitalize on the commercial value of its oil. Whole corn kernels only contain a small amount of fat, around 5% by weight. But the germ that remains after the starch is removed through wet processing can contain up to 50% oil by weight.
How do you get oil out of corn germs?
Unfortunately, this valuable oil is trapped inside the hard, abrasive corn germ, which can be tough to crack. Rupturing the germ to release the oil inside requires a high-torque workhorse like the Anderson Duo Series Expeller®.
