Neem Seed Oil Press Machine Structure


Neem oil extracting should depend on some type of equipment and machinery. For small scale oil pressing line, the capacity ranges from 1tpd to 50 tpd, screw oil press machine is the BEST choice for neem seed oil pressing. Typically, the neem seed oil press machine is composed of feeding hopper, pressing cage (pressing rings, pressing bars and screw shaft), gear box, machine base and more. This is the most efficient design of neem seed oil machine since it has many outstanding features, including:

  • It is safe and easy to install, operate and maintain, it is almost a worry-free oil extraction unit
  • Its price is relatively cheap in the market, so many can afford it to start their neem seed oil extraction business
  • It takes up very small space, which won’t increase the cost for factory land
  • It is also suitable to process other vegetable seeds and nuts, it is a multi-purpose oil press machine.

Simply put, the pretreated neem seeds are loaded into the feeding hopper. With the pushing action of the rotating screw shaft in pressing chamber of screw oil press machine, the material is pushed forward continuously. At the same time, due to the reduction of the screw pitch of the oil press, the increase of the width of the screw thread, the diameter of the root circle gradually increased (and the space of the oil press chamber decreased with the advance of the material), the material volume was compressed and a strong extrusion pressure was generated. In this way, the oil is squeezed out from the gap of the pressing cage, and the dry materials are pressed into oil cake blocks and discharged from the end of the pressing shaft automatically.
