In North India’s mustard belt, every percentage point of oil recovery matters. At SP Foundries, Kanpur, we design and manufacture mustard oil expellers that are engineered for consistent throughput, superior cake finish, and long service life—so your mill runs profitably day after day.
Why a Purpose-Built Mustard Oil Expeller?
Mustard seed behaves differently from groundnut, soybean, or sunflower. Its pungency compounds (allyl isothiocyanate), small seed size, and moisture sensitivity demand a press that can handle:
- Precise conditioning (heat & moisture balance)
- High-pressure screw geometry for maximum extraction
- Sturdy wear surfaces to withstand abrasive seed husk
A generic oil press will “work,” but a mustard-optimized expeller consistently delivers better recovery and lower residual oil in cake—translating to higher margins.
SP Foundries Advantage
1) Heavy-Duty Build, Kanpur-Made
Our housings and frames use graded castings and thick plates to resist vibration and misalignment. Result: stable pressing, quieter operation, longer bearing life.
2) Optimized Screw & Cage Design
Mustard-focused screw pitch and barrel clearances maximize residence time and compression, improving oil yield and producing uniform cake.
3) Energy-Efficient Drive
Balanced rotor dynamics, properly sized gearboxes, and efficient motors reduce specific power consumption per tonne of seed processed.
4) Easy Maintenance & Spares
Standardized wear parts, quick-access inspection covers, and local spares support from Kanpur mean minimal downtime.
5) End-to-End Support
From seed cleaning and conditioning to filtering and storage, we guide you on complete kachchi ghani / cold-press or semi-hot press setups tailored to your throughput and budget.
How a Mustard Oil Expeller Works (At a Glance)
- Seed Preparation – Cleaning, de-stoning, and optional dehulling to protect the press.
- Conditioning – Moisture and temperature tuning for better oil release (steam or electric cookers).
- Mechanical Pressing – A rotating worm/screw conveys and compresses seed in a tapered cage; oil drains through cage bars.
- Cake Discharge – Low-residual oil cake exits for use as cattle feed or further processing.
- Filtration/Polishing – Filter press or filter cartridge removes fines for clear, sale-ready mustard oil.
Key Features for Mustard Oil Mills
- Double/Triple-Stage Pressing Options for higher recovery
- Wear-Resistant Worms & Cage Bars extend life under abrasive loads
- Robust Gearbox & Bearings sized for continuous duty
- Integrated Safety Interlocks and overload protection
- Quick-Change Wear Parts to cut maintenance time
- Optional Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for fine control of throughput
- Food-Grade Sealing & Gaskets to maintain oil purity
- Support for Cold Press (Kachi Ghani) and semi-hot press regimes
Typical Technical Ranges (Configured to Order)
Exact specs are finalized after a quick application review to match your seed quality, moisture, and target output.
- Capacity: ~5–30 TPD per expeller line (higher with multi-press lines)
- Main Motor: ~20–60 kW depending on capacity and press geometry
- Speed: Optimized low RPM for torque and oil release
- Construction: Graded cast iron housings; alloy-steel worms & hardfaced cage bars
- Drive: Helical gearbox with heavy-duty couplings
- Utilities: Optional steam/electric cookers; air for filter press if used
- Ancillary: Seed cleaner, cooker, conveyor, cake crusher, filter press, storage tanks
Setting Up a Profitable Mustard Oil Line
1) Define Throughput & Product Mix
Retail cold-pressed bottles vs. bulk semi-hot pressed drums dictate equipment sizing and filtration.
2) Invest in Seed Preparation
Clean seed prevents rapid wear and improves yield. A small cleaner/de-stoner often repays itself fast.
3) Control Moisture & Heat
Mustard responds well to precise conditioning; too dry or too hot and yields drop.
4) Choose the Right Filtration
Plate & frame filter presses are reliable and scalable.
5) Plan for Spares & Service
Keep a wear-parts kit (worms, collars, cage bars) on hand to avoid production stoppages.
Quality & Compliance
- Food-contact surfaces built to hygienic standards
- Electrical & mechanical safety provisions for shop-floor compliance
- Material traceability for critical wear parts
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can your expeller handle both cold press and semi-hot press mustard?
Yes. We configure screw geometry and recommend the right cooker settings to support both modes.
Q2. What oil recovery can I expect?
Recovery depends on seed variety, moisture, and preparation. With proper conditioning, customers typically achieve low residual oil in cake and stable yields. We optimize during commissioning.
Q3. Do you supply complete mustard oil mill plants?
Yes—seed cleaning, conditioning, expellers, filter press, storage tanks, and basic automation.
Q4. What about after-sales service in Uttar Pradesh and nearby states?
Our Kanpur-based team supports installation, training, and rapid spares dispatch across North India.
