Cleaning, Maintenance and Support

Can I change from one seed to another without cleaning?

Direct Answer

Changing seeds requires an appropriate cleanout and, where relevant, verified allergen controls. Residual material can affect the next oil's identity, flavor and suitability for customers with allergies.

Detailed Engineering Analysis

Consider the whole contact path, including the hopper, pressing chamber, oil tray, filter and filling equipment. Plan the production sequence and identify the first material after a changeover until the approved procedure is complete. Sesame, peanut and tree-nut processing deserve particular attention. Do not label a product allergen-free merely because the machine looks clean. Keep non-food materials off equipment used for edible production unless a specialist has validated an appropriate separation system.
