Characteristics of oilseeds

Soy and oil crops are complex raw materials — they require extrusion or pressing for maximum oil and protein utilisation.

💧
Moisture
10 – 14%
Optimal moisture for soy extrusion is 10–14%. Lower moisture gives better oil yields but may damage the extruder.
💛
Oil Content
18 – 45%
Rapeseed contains 40–45% oil, sunflower 38–42%, soy 18–22%. The percentage directly determines yield and profitability.
🌡️
Temperature
120 – 160°C
Extrusion activates enzymes and inhibitors in soy. Heat treatment improves protein digestibility for livestock.
💪
Proteins
34 – 44%
After oil extraction, the cake has high protein content. Soy cake is a standard protein source in livestock farming.

💡 Key advantages

  • Two valuable products from one raw material — oil + cake
  • Soy cake = premium protein animal feed
  • Extrusion inactivates harmful anti-nutritional factors
  • Cold pressing preserves the quality of virgin oil
  • Visok ROI — kratka amortizacija opreme
  • Suitable for cooperation with farmers and cooperatives

Technological processing procedure

Extrusion and oil pressing from oilseeds — from raw grain to finished oil and protein cake.

1

Cleaning and sorting

Grain passes through air separators that remove chaff, stones, metal and impurities before processing.

2

Dehulling and crushing

Optional grain dehulling and coarse crushing increases surface area and oil extraction efficiency.

⚙️ Mlin fljeker →
3

Extrusion / Expansion

The extruder heats and compresses the grain to 120–160°C. Cell rupture releases oil and inactivates anti-nutritional factors.

4

Oil pressing

A hot or cold press extracts oil from the expanded material. The remainder is protein cake.

5

Oil filtering and clarification

Raw oil passes through filters that remove sediment and fine particles. The result is a clear, market-ready product.
