Mini Oil Mill (450 Watt)

Extracting oil at home or in small-scale industries requires careful preparation and machine maintenance to ensure high-quality results. Follow these steps for safe and efficient oil extraction:

Step 1: Preparation

• Choose Your Seeds or Nuts: Select oil-rich ingredients based on your needs:
  • Seeds: Sunflower, sesame, mustard, canola
  • Nuts: Walnuts, almonds
• Clean the Seeds/Nuts: Rinse to remove dirt or contaminants. Dry completely—moisture can affect extraction.
• Preheat the Machine: Some machines require preheating. Check your user manual.

Step 2: Setting Up the Machine

• Assemble the Machine: Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and aligned, including the oil collector.
• Set the Temperature: Adjust based on seed/nut type. High heat increases yield but may affect flavor and nutrition.

Step 3: Oil Extraction

• Add the Seeds/Nuts: Pour into the hopper without overloading.
• Start the Machine: Switch on to begin automatic oil extraction.
• Monitor the Process: Watch for alerts or any irregularities during operation.

Step 4: Collecting the Oil

• Stop the Machine: Turn off when pressing is complete.
• Collect the Oil: Use a funnel to pour oil into a clean container.
• Store the Oil: Use airtight glass or metal containers. Store in a cool, dark place.

Step 5: Cleaning the Machine

• Disassemble the Parts: After cooling, disassemble as per manufacturer instructions.
• Clean Thoroughly: Use warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Dry Completely: Let all parts dry fully before reassembling or storing.

Maintenance Tips

• Periodic Deep Cleaning: Every few months, disassemble and clean each component meticulously.
• Use Food-Grade Lubricants: For safe and smooth operation.
• Check Screws and Fasteners: Tighten to avoid vibrations and mechanical issues.
• Inspect Heating Elements: Look for damage or discoloration.
• Listen for Unusual Noises: Grinding or squealing may signal a problem.
• Monitor Oil Quality: A change in quality or yield may require inspection or servicing.
