So what is a Screw Press or Expeller?

What is an Expeller or Screw Press?

An Expeller is a machine that uses mechanical means to extract a fluid, typically vegetable Oil or Fat from a solid feed material such as Seeds, Nuts or Animal By-Products.

Mechanical Extraction is a 'Organic' process and a completely " Chemical Free" extraction process.

How does an Expeller or Screw Press Work?

The basic principal of all Screw Presses or Expellers is that of a decreasing volume Archimedean Screw, contained within a drained barrel. A mass of material is transported along the machine by the Archimedean Screw, as it is moved forwards the volume in which it is contained is progressively reduced. This reducing volume applies pressure that expels the fluid from the feed material. As the Fluid is expelled from the solid material it flows through the drained Barrel to be collected.

It's as easy as that......                     Well almost!!
