IX. Raw Material Guide
Camellia seeds
Camellia seeds are special. They can be dried out enough for
pressing with only exposure to sunlight. In case this does not do the
trick, or there is no ample sunlight, they can be put into the micro-
wave and heated for 3-4 minutes, roughly 35 oz. at a time. Before
pressing these seeds, larger pieces should be broken into piec-
es the size of a peanut kernel. Do not crush the seeds to be too
small, as they will be unable to enter the chamber themselves. For
camellia seeds, press them after they have cooled, but use a small
amount at first. There can be large variations in moisture content
in camellia seeds, and using small batches reduces this problem.
There should be no water left in the camellia seeds during pressing,
and it should produce yellow colored slag, which is an indication
of optimal oil extraction.
Flaxseed
Flaxseed differ from other seeds because they also contain a layer
of jelly. The longer they are stored, the higher the viscosity of the
flaxseed gum becomes. Lower temperatures also contribute to
higher viscosity and less oil extraction. If either of these conditions
are present, there is a possibility of no oil being extracted, instead
only powder.
When pressing flaxseed, first turn on the heating switch and heat
for 20 minutes. You can turn off the heating during hot days (just
don’t shut off it during cold days or if the flaxseed have been
stored for a long period, otherwise only powder comes out). Put
raw materials in and start pressing. Because of their layer of jelly,
during cold days, even though you heat them, powder tends to
come out at the oil outlet. You can first pre-heat the raw materials
and then press them. If oil overflows in the slag notch or outflows
from the four screws at the pressing chamber, please dry the
flaxseeds or mix them with 10-20% cooked soybeans (eating raw
soybean oil can cause diarrhea). Add a suitable proportion of
soybeans until there is no overflow. Slowly add more soybeans if
necessary and take advantage of the characteristics (less oil) of
soybeans to bring the water out.
Note: No matter which raw material is used, if oil overflows in the
slag notch, or overflows from the 4 screws of the pressing cham -
ber, the raw material contain too much water. Clean the pressing
chamber, dry the moisture, and then remove moisture from the
raw material according to the “hot pressing” method.
