A screw oil press machine (also called a screw oil expeller) is a mechanical device that extracts oil from oilseeds and nuts through continuous physical pressing. Unlike chemical solvent extraction, this method uses mechanical pressure to squeeze oil out, preserving the natural nutrients and flavors of the oil. It is one of the most widely used oil extraction machines for small to large scale production.
Continuous operation – works non-stop for efficient production
High oil yield – compared to older equipment, oil yield can increase by 2%-3%
Low investment – affordable entry cost
Easy to operate – simple controls, minimal training needed
Low maintenance – durable structure with few wearing parts
Cold & hot pressing – suitable for both methods; hot pressing gives higher oil yield
Wide application – handles over 20 types of oilseeds
Energy efficient – integrated models can save up to 40% power

This machine can press a wide variety of oil-bearing materials:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Common oilseeds | Peanut, soybean, rapeseed, sunflower seed, sesame seed |
| Tree nuts | Walnut, almond, coconut, palm kernel, olive |
| Others | Cottonseed, flaxseed, mustard seed, corn germ, rice bran, castor seed, jatropha seed |
Home use – small models for personal or family oil production
Small farm – process oilseeds into cooking oil
Small business – start a local oil pressing business
Commercial oil mill – medium to large scale edible oil production
Industrial plant – continuous oil extraction for refining


Capacity – how many kg per hour do you need? 40-80 kg/h for home/small farm; 150-300 kg/h for small business; 400-600+ kg/h for commercial.
Material type – some models handle specific seeds better; check compatibility.
Cold or hot press – cold press preserves nutrients; hot press gives higher yield.
Power source – electric motor is standard; diesel engine available for remote areas.
Additional features – automatic temperature control, vacuum oil filter, integrated design.
Budget – entry-level models start around $500-1500; commercial models $3000-15000+.
Clean the pressing chamber and screw after each use to prevent residue buildup
Check and replace worn pressing rings and worms regularly
Lubricate bearings and gearbox as per manual
Use clean, dry oilseeds to avoid damaging the machine
Monitor oil temperature – overheating may affect oil quality
Chemical-free – pure physical pressing, no solvent residues
Versatile – one machine handles many different oilseeds
Fresh oil – press only what you need, when you need it
Cost saving – produce your own oil instead of buying commercial
By-product value – pressed cake (meal) can be sold as animal feed or fertilizer
A screw oil press machine is a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for extracting high-quality edible oil. Whether you are a small farmer, a home user, or a commercial producer, there is a model that fits your needs. Simple to operate, built to last, and backed by proven technology.
