almond oil making machine for sale

Almond oil is a high-quality vegetable oil extracted from sweet almonds. It contains vitamin E, monounsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, and other beneficial nutrients. According to different production technologies, it can be classified as cold-pressed or hot-pressed. The technology is different, finished oil has different applications. Hot-pressed oil is suitable for high-end almond oil, cosmetics, skin care products, and organic products. Cold-pressed oil is suitable for common and industrial almond oil. Each method has its own advantages in terms of oil quality, output, and production cost.

step 1: pre-cleaning

Almond seeds must be thoroughly dried and cleaned to remove sand, dust, and other impurities before storing. Then it should remove kernels. Because the kernel may lead to aflatoxin poisoning. Before almonds start pressing or further processing, they need to be pre-cleaned to remove impurities, protect the machine, increase oil yield, and improve the quality of the final product.

step 2: Shelling

The almonds are conveyed to the grading screen, where they are sorted by size to enhance the shelling efficiency and reduce the damage to the pits. After grading, the almonds enter the shelling machine, which cracks the hard shells and removes the lightweight shell debris through the dust separator. The gravity separator and vibrating screen further separate the pits from the shells. The remaining unshelled almonds automatically return for another round of shelling.

Step 3: Conditioning

Adjust the moisture content and temperature of the almond seeds. During hot pressing, heating is used to increase the fluidity of the oil, thereby enhancing the extraction efficiency and improving the flavor. During cold-pressing, no heating is applied to preserve the natural nutrients, color, and aroma of the oil.

Step 4: Pressing

The processed almond kernels are extracted into crude almond oil through a screw oil extraction machine.

Step 5: Refining

During refining, crude oil undergoes degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization, and fine filtration. These procedures make the final product clear, stable, and long-shelf-life, and it meets food-grade quality standards.

advantages of almond oil making machine

High Oil Yield

AGICO almond oil mill has optimized the pressing parameters and uses precisely machined components. So it can maximize the oil output rate while minimizing the residual oil. This makes the enterprise get more profit from each ton of almonds.

Reliable Performance

AGICO almond oil mill adopts high-quality materials and precision engineering. The sturdy structure can minimize wear and reduce maintenance requirements. The operator just needs to adjust the formula, and the system will automatically adjust the feeding speed, shell removal pressure, separation wind speed, and oil extraction temperature, ensuring long-term reliable operation.

Efficient Shelling

Flexible Configuration

AGICO almond oil mill can offer solutions from 1 tpd to 500 tpd. Each production line can be tailored to your raw materials, capacity requirements, and investment budget. And the equipment adopts a standardized interface design. If you want to expand capacity, you just need to add additional units in parallel.

almond oil making machine cost

The cost of an almond oil mill is affected by multiple factors, such as capacity, processing technology, raw material condition, automation level, refining requirements, equipment materials, auxiliary systems, environmental standards, engineering services, and shipping destination. Confirming these requirements can help suppliers provide a more accurate cost estimate.
