Have you ever struggled to extract oil from heat-sensitive seeds without compromising their nutritional value? This was the primary concern for a boutique health food manufacturer in Oman before they invested in our specialized Flaxseed Hydraulic Oil Press.
By shifting from standard screw pressing to our advanced hydraulic technology, the client successfully mastered the art of true “cold pressing.” This investment in a professional hydraulic oil expeller allowed them to extract flaxseed oil while keeping the temperature strictly controlled, preserving the vital Omega-3 fatty acids.
The result is a production line that yields “liquid gold”—pure, nutrient-rich oil that commands a premium price in the local Omani market.
Customer Background and Needs Analysis
Oman is seeing a significant rise in consumer awareness regarding health and organic products. The client, based near Muscat, identified a growing demand for locally produced, additive-free flaxseed oil. However, flaxseeds are notoriously difficult to process; they are small, hard, and extremely sensitive to heat.
The client urgently needed a Flaxseed Hydraulic Oil Press that could exert immense pressure to squeeze the oil out without generating the friction heat associated with continuous screw presses.
Their requirement was specific: a machine that ensures the oil temperature remains below 50°C to qualify as “extra virgin” cold-pressed oil.
Our Solution
To meet the client’s strict requirement for cold pressing, we recommended our vertical flaxseed hydraulic oil press. Unlike screw expellers that rely on high-speed friction, this machine uses a powerful hydraulic pump to drive a piston, squeezing the seeds inside a steel barrel.
This method generates almost no heat during the process, making it the ideal cold press oil machine for sensitive crops. We equipped the unit with a high-precision pressure gauge and an automatic pressure relief system, ensuring the extraction process is both safe and consistent.
The solution also included a fine filtration unit to remove any sediment immediately, yielding crystal-clear oil ready for bottling.
Product Advantages
Our Flaxseed Hydraulic Oil Press was the perfect fit for this project due to its robust construction and ease of cleaning. The pressing chamber and oil collection pan are made from food-grade 304 stainless steel, which is essential for hygiene and resisting corrosion in Oman’s humid coastal climate.
A key advantage of this machine is its high-pressure capability (up to 60 MPa), which ensures a high oil yield even from tiny flaxseeds. Furthermore, we customized the electrical motor to match Oman’s industrial standard (415V/50Hz/3-phase) and upgraded the seals to withstand high-pressure operations over many years of flax oil extraction.
Customer Feedback and After-Sales
The successful deployment in Oman has been a point of pride for both the client and us. Upon arrival, our technical team provided remote support via video call to assist with the initial hydraulic oil filling and system venting.
The client reported that the Flaxseed Hydraulic Oil Press is straightforward to operate, with a single batch taking only 7-10 minutes to complete. They were delighted with the quality of the oil—golden, aromatic, and distinctly fresh.
