Abstract

From cold press oilseeds, high quality oil and oil cake are produced. Cold pressed oil is used for human consumption, for cosmetics or for medicinal purposes. Oil cake is mostly used for feeding cattle and some people consume it as well. For cold pressing screw presses with electric motor drive are mostly used, where the number of revolutions of the screws, the diameter of the nozzle and the distance of the compression head from the screw can be adjusted. The required electrical power increases with increasing screw speed. Higher electrical power is also required to press the seeds with a nozzle of smaller diameter. Heat is also generated when pressing due to friction. The temperature of oil must be as low as possible to maintain the quality, but the limit temperature for cold pressing has not yet been legally determined in Slovenia or Croatia.
