Pre-Press Machine (Expeller) — 50-500 TPD
A pre-press takes most of the oil out mechanically before the seed reaches solvent extraction. That cuts the extraction capacity a plant needs for a given tonnage, and the cake it leaves still holds the structure the solvent has to work through.
Every Pre-Press Machine (Expeller) is built to your plant’s throughput at our Pithampur works in India and exported to solvent extraction plants and oil mills abroad — 22+ countries across five continents to date. Capacity, drive rating, your supply voltage and frequency, and the interfaces to the machines either side of it are all settled before fabrication starts.

Export Supply and Shipping
- Shipping: Containerised in sub-assemblies where the machine’s envelope allows, otherwise flat rack or break bulk; FOB Nhava Sheva or Mundra, or CIF your port.
- Electrics to destination: Motors, gearboxes and panel built for your supply — 380, 400, 415 or 440 V at 50 or 60 Hz — and CE marked where required.
- Packing: Product-contact surfaces cleaned and wrapped, machined faces preserved against sea air, and everything crated on ISPM-15 heat-treated timber.
- Erection support: General arrangement, foundation and utility drawings at order; a commissioning engineer can be deputed to run the machine in on your own feedstock.
- Documents and payment: Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, material test certificates and bill of lading; quoted in US dollars.
Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity range do your pre-press machines cover?
Lines from 50 to 500 TPD, in screw press and hydraulic press configurations.
How much oil does the pre-press remove?
The pre-press extracts 60-70% of the available oil mechanically, leaving 12-18% residual oil in the cake for the solvent extraction stage — the standard approach for high-oil seeds where direct solvent extraction alone is inefficient.
Is the pre-press (expeller) customised to my requirement?
Yes. Every machine we build is custom-engineered — capacity, dimensions, and configuration are matched to your line. Send your requirement via the enquiry form or call +91 91091 02280 for a firm quote.
Can you export the Pre-Press Machine (Expeller) and support the erection at our plant?
Yes. We have supplied oil seed processing equipment to buyers in 22+ countries across five continents. The machine is containerised in sub-assemblies where its envelope allows, and a commissioning engineer can be deputed to erect it and run it in on your own feedstock.
