Safflower Oil Machine: How Much Oil From Safflower Seeds?

Safflower is one of the most valuable oilseeds whose cultivation has rapidly increased in Turkey in recent years. Also known as "false saffron," it draws attention for its high Vitamin E (Vitamin K) and unsaturated fat content. So, how can you obtain oil from this valuable safflower seed most efficiently using the 'cold press' method? This guide covers the machine you need and efficiency details.

Market Gap: From Farming to Production

Currently, most searches related to "safflower" are farming-focused: "safflower planting," "safflower seed price," etc. However, there is very little information about the most critical stage after obtaining the seed: processing (oil pressing).

This is where cold press oil machines come in. Cold pressing is the only way to convert safflower seed into pure oil without losing its nutritional value (especially Vitamin E).

Safflower seed is a relatively hard-shelled seed. You can see in the video below how the machine processes this seed, separates the oil, and ejects the pomace (cake):

Safflower Seed Oil Yield

The oil content of safflower seed varies from 35% to 45% depending on the type. This means you can get up to 40 kg of pure cold press safflower oil from 100 kg of seeds under ideal conditions.

Efobaba Endüstriyel machines press even hard-shelled seeds like safflower at high efficiency 'without burning' them, leaving an extremely low amount of oil in the pomace.
