Pre-Press Machine (Expeller) — 50-500 TPD
A pre-press takes most of the oil out mechanically before the seed reaches solvent extraction. That cuts the extraction capacity a plant needs for a given tonnage, and the cake it leaves still holds the structure the solvent has to work through.
Every Pre-Press Machine (Expeller) is built to your plant’s throughput at our Pithampur works near Indore and supplied to solvent extraction plants and oil mills across India. Capacity, drive rating and the interfaces to the machines either side of it are settled against your existing line before fabrication starts.

Supply and Support in India
- Delivery: By road from Pithampur to site, in sub-assemblies where the piece is too large to travel complete.
- Plant fit: General arrangement, foundation and utility drawings issued ahead of despatch, so structural and piping work can run in parallel.
- Commissioning: Erected and commissioned on site by our own engineers alongside your process team, and run in on your actual feedstock.
- Training: Operators trained on start-up, changeover and cleaning at handover.
- Service and spares: Rolls, screws, cages, wear parts and seals resupplied and reconditioned from Indore.
Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity range do your pre-press machines cover?
Lines from 50 to 500 TPD, in screw press and hydraulic press configurations.
How much oil does the pre-press remove?
The pre-press extracts 60-70% of the available oil mechanically, leaving 12-18% residual oil in the cake for the solvent extraction stage — the standard approach for high-oil seeds where direct solvent extraction alone is inefficient.
Is the pre-press (expeller) customised to my requirement?
Yes. Every machine we build is custom-engineered — capacity, dimensions, and configuration are matched to your line. Send your requirement via the enquiry form or call +91 91091 02280 for a firm quote.
Do you commission the Pre-Press Machine (Expeller) in our plant and train our operators?
Yes. Our engineers erect and commission it alongside your process team and run it in on your actual feedstock rather than on a test load, then train your operators on start-up, changeover and cleaning at handover.
