CHOOSING SEEDS
• Always remember that the quantity and quality of the extracted oil depends greatly
on the quality of materials used. Low quality seeds have a lower oil content and will
have a reduced oil yield.
• Look for types of seeds with high oil content. Flax seeds are grown in many varieties.
The types grown for fiber generally don’t have a high oil content.
• No oil extractor is able to extract oil from dry seeds - if they are old, stale or
weathered. Look for seeds which are fresh and have been stored in appropriate
conditions for as short a period of time as possible.
• When starting your adventure with home oil extraction, try to buy the seeds from a
few different stores to try out their quality and oil content. This way you can find the
best places to purchase the hughest-quality seeds.
• Check the appearance of the seeds. Make sure they aren’t spoiled. Check for
discoloration or pests, such as insects or moths .
• Please note that the oil which is being extracted during press’s operation plays
an important role in its proper operation. It lubricates the auger, cools it down and
reduces friction. Processing seeds which lack oil can result in blockage of the auger.
• Some seeds and nuts require preliminary crushing before processing. You can do
this with a knife, blender or a special chopper. Remember, however, not to crush the
seeds too small. The size of the pieces should not be smaller than the size of a flax
seed and not greater than the size of a sunflower seed.
