Read More about KOMET Oil Presses.

The Komet Vegetable Oil expellers feature a special coldpressing system with a single conveying screw instead of individual compression screws, to squeeze the oils from various oil bearing seeds. Our oil presses operate on a gentle mechanical press principle, which does not involve mixing and tearing of the pressed with the standard equipment without cumbersome adjustment of screws and oil outlet holes.

The Komet Oil Press or Screw Oil Expeller is extremely easy to maintain as it has no multi-sectional strainer but a single press cylinder, which allows a quick change from one seed to another which is especially important when processing small batches. Another advantage of this system is that the press cake extrudes out of the oil press in the shape of pellets that are easy to store and handle. Oils produced under the gentle KOMET cold pressing system are only subjected to very low temperatures and are therefore top quality vegetable oils which can be used for human consumption without any conditioning depending on the raw material.

 


KOMET Filter Presses

Following the production of the raw oil, the oil needs to be cleaned of solids and other impurities.

This can be done through a filter press.

A filter press consists of the following parts:

  • Filter frame
  • Filter plates
  • Filter Cloth
  • Pressure pump

Depending on the desired capacity, the number and size of the filter plates will vary, consequently also the filter area. Between the filter plates are the filter cloths through which the to be filtered oil will pass. The filter cloths are made of textile material, which will let the fluids pass through. During the filtering process the cloths will retain any solids and thereby form a filter cake. Such solids will build up on the cloths and thereby also function as filter material. This will lead to an increase in pressure. After the pressure reaches a certain level, the filter plates need to be cleaned.
