black seed oil plant for sale
Black seed oil, also called black cumin seed oil, is sourced from the seeds of the Nigella Sativa Plant. Black seed oil is an edible oil made from black seeds through the pressing process. Black seed oil content is usually 15-20%. It is a medium oil content bean and contains unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, anthocyanins, and other components. It has antioxidant effects, regulates cholesterol levels, and assists in improving cardiovascular health, etc.

process of black seed oil plant
Step 1: Screening and cleaning
Black seed first removes big impurities and iron filings by a screening machine. Then the metal substances are removed by a magnetic separator to ensure raw material cleanness.
Step 2: Crushing
Using a crusher to break the black seed into 2 to 4 pieces, increasing the surface area to facilitate the transfer of moisture and temperature during subsequent cooking.
Step 3.1: hot pressing
Cooking: after crushing, the black seeds are cooked by steaming at a temperature of 100 – 120℃ for 20 – 30 minutes. It makes seed embryos reach the appropriate moisture content (typically 10% – 15%) and the appropriate degree of ripening. This helps oil release.
Hot Pressing: to keep active ingredients and obtain the purest black seed oil. Screw oil pressing machine is the most efficient and cost-effective equipment in extracting black seed oil. The entire oil extraction process carried out using the spiral oil press does not require the addition of any chemicals. Under a pressure of 30 to 50 MPa, the oil is squeezed out from the seed embryos, forming crude oil. Hot press has a higher oil yield, but crude oil has a darker color, and its acidity may be relatively high.
Step 3.2: cold pressing
Cold pressing: Black seed oil cold press is without undergoing high-temperature roasting of the seeds or using chemical solvents; the process is carried out using low-speed screw press equipment. Typically, in a low-temperature environment of 35–45℃, the cleaned black seeds are subjected directly to mechanical pressing. The obtained oil has a natural color and high nutritional value. Usually, it only needs to undergo sedimentation or physical filtration before being bottled and sold. It is suitable for markets with high-value-added products such as health supplements, functional edible oils, and cosmetic raw materials.
Step 4: Refining and filtation(option)
It is to obtain pure oil. Refining includes degumming, deacidifying, and deodorizing processes. After refining, the black seed oil is filtered through a filter with a pore size of 5-10 μm. This could remove impurities and produce clear and transparent refined oil products. Suitable for use in food processing, the bulk edible oil market,the wholesale trading market, as well as some industrial or blended oil applications.

advantages of black seed oil plant
Corrosion resistance
All components in contact with oil are made of food-grade stainless steel. This ensures outstanding antioxidant and corrosion-resistant properties, prolongs the machine’s service life, and prevents oil contamination. It is important to keep product integrity, especially for active oils such as black seeds or linseeds.
High oil yield
An advanced screw design and precise pressure control can achieve the maximum oil extraction volume. The equipment is equipped with a precise temperature control cooking system, could adjust according to the moisture content and particle structure of black seed to make the cells inside the seed fully expanded, and the release of oil has been more thorough.
Low maintenance
Our equipment adopt modular and linear structure design. Structure design is simple and has a low failure rate. The downtime has been reduced, and the production capacity utilization rate has increased.
