The Florapower hard kernel oil press is used to extract oil from hard plant seed. The construction allows an oil temperature under 40°C with a high oil yield. With grape seeds (11.6% oil content) can be squeezed out 5.3% of oil that results in 6.3% residual oil content cake. Due to the slow screw speed and the relatively large strainer cage, the seed is processed very gently.
Possible applications: grape seeds, pomegranat seeds, elderberries seeds
| Oil seed | Oil content* | Residual oil content in cake* |
| Grape seeds | 11,6 % | 6,3 % |
| Pomegranat seeds | 23,3 % | 10,0 – 12,5% |
* This data was determined at our in-house technical facility via mass balance / lab test. Deviations may occurdue to seed quality.
For other hard seeds such as buckthorn, amaranth, etc., we can organize a trial oil pressing at our technical facility.
