Cold Press Sesame Oil Machine and Efficiency Guide

Sesame oil is a cornerstone of both Turkish and Asian cuisine. It is known for its high antioxidant content and rich aroma. However, the only way to obtain this precious oil in its purest, most nutritious form is through the cold press method. So, how does a cold press sesame oil machine work, and how do you choose the right machine for your business?

What is the Critical Difference Between Sesame Oil and Tahini?

These two terms are often confused in the market. Tahini machine crushes sesame seeds into a puree; it does not separate the oil and pomace.

Cold press sesame oil machine (our machines), on the other hand, squeezes the sesame seeds with a powerful auger to completely separate the oil from the pomace (cake). As a result, you get pure, clear sesame oil. This article is about the production of pure sesame oil, not tahini.

How Much Oil Can Be Extracted from Sesame Seeds? (Efficiency)

Sesame is one of the seeds with the highest oil content. The oil content in a quality sesame seed can range from 50% to 60%.

Efobaba Endüstriyel machines squeeze even small and hard seeds like sesame at high efficiency 'without burning' them, leaving an extremely low amount of oil in the pomace. This means you can get up to 50 kg of pure oil from 100 kg of sesame.

Raw Sesame vs. Roasted Sesame Pressing

Traditionally, sesame oil is pressed after the seeds are roasted. This increases the aroma but can reduce the nutritional value of the oil. Our cold press machines allow you to preserve the highest nutritional value (Vitamin E, etc.) by pressing sesame raw (without roasting).

"Pressing sesame puts extra load on the machine because it is a small and hard seed. Our EB-1100 and higher models are designed to work 24/7 uninterrupted on such challenging seeds."
