Have you ever pressed peanuts or soybeans at home only to get cloudy oil or low yield? You're not alone — many users struggle with inconsistent results because they don’t know which oilseeds are truly compatible with their home-use oil press. Let’s break it down together.
Each oilseed has unique physical properties that affect how well it responds to mechanical pressing. Here's what matters most:
Oilseed Type | Ease of Processing | Preparation Needed | Avg. Yield (per kg) |
---|---|---|---|
Peanuts | High | Light roasting + coarse grind | 35–40% |
Soybeans | Medium | Soak + dehulling + fine grinding | 18–25% |
Sesame Seeds | High | Dry roast + medium crush | 45–55% |
If your machine lacks smart temperature control and automatic cleaning, processing harder seeds like soybeans can lead to clogs, poor extraction, and even motor strain. That’s where our intelligent mode switching comes in — just select the seed type, and your device adjusts pressure, heat, and cycle time automatically.
You don’t need a lab to tell if your oil is ready. Here’s how to spot success:
And remember: proper pre-treatment isn't optional — it’s essential. For example, skipping the dry-roast step on sesame seeds can reduce yield by up to 30%, according to user feedback from our global community.
