Can a screw press extract oil from sacha inchi seeds?
Practical applications Screw press extraction is a cost‐efficient method, requiring a shorter extraction time than solvent extraction process and leaving no solvent residues in the oil product. Here, a single screw press machine at different press head temperatures was used to extract oil from Sacha inchi seeds.
What is a Sacha Inchi oil press?
The small oil press we developed uses the world’s most advanced extraction technology, subcritical low-temperature extraction, to extract oil from the target materials. Sacha inchi is also commonly knew as plukenetia volubilis, sacha peanut, mountain peanut, Inca nut or Inca-peanut. It is a perennial plant originated from South America.
What is AGICO Sacha Inchi oil extraction machine?
AGICO sacha inchi oil extraction machine is a type of small scale oil extraction equipment, it has a capacity from 1L to 200L. Our small sacha inchi nut oil press is ideal for sacha inchi oil. In general sacha inchi oil extraction process requires heating and high pressure treatment.
Do operating parameters affect oil yields from sacha inchi seeds?
In this work, the effects of operating parameters, such as drying temperature (60, 75, 90°C) and press head temperature (60, 75, 90°C), on oil yields from Sacha inchi ( Plukenetia volubilis L.) seeds were studied using a single screw press machine.
