Tung oil or China wood oil is a drying oil obtained by pressing the seed from the nut of the tung tree ( Vernicia fordii ). Tung oil hardens upon exposure to air (through polymerization ), and the resulting coating is transparent and has a deep, almost wet look.
What is an oil extraction machine?
This machine is commonly used in commercial or industrial where there is a need for large-scale oil production. They are engineered to efficiently process significant quantities of oilseeds or nuts, ensuring high productivity and optimal oil extraction yields.
Where did Tung oil come from?
The tung oil tree originates in southern China and was cultivated there for tung oil, but the date of cultivation remains unknown. The earliest references for Chinese use of tung oil are in the writings of Confucius (551 – 479 BCE) around 500 to 479 BC.
How long do oil extraction machines last?
These oil extraction machines gather vegetable oil from oil-bearing seeds and nuts for food and industrial uses, including biodiesel and other fuels. Our durable, heavy-duty oilseed equipment has an average life span of 60-70 years, operating with maximum productivity and lower processing cost per ton.
