- Wok: The hot pressing process requires frying the raw materials to adjust the temperature and humidity of the raw materials and increase the oil yield; cold pressing is direct pressing, which can retain the nutrients and nutrients in the raw materials to the greatest extent.
- Oil press: Select the model according to the production scale. Our company currently has 1.3TPD-40TPD machine models to choose from.
- Oil filter: filter crude oil impurities to obtain higher quality and cleaner oil. The filtered oil can be directly sold.
- Refining equipment (optional): Refining equipment is mainly used to improve the grade of edible oil. It can degumming, deacidification, drying, decolorization and deodorization of crude oil. The refined oil can reach the first grade. Refining equipment is the choice of users who have high requirements for the quality of finished edible oil.
