Corn Germ Oil Expellers in Uganda

What is a Anderson duo expeller®?
Rupturing the germ to release the oil inside requires a high-torque workhorse like the Anderson Duo Series Expeller®. Designed for difficult-to-process materials like corn germ, palm kernel, and grapeseed, the Duo’s unique dual-pressing action can reduce residual oils to 5-6% in a single pass.
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.
