Capacity and Oil Recovery

How much oil will 100 kg of seeds produce?

Direct Answer

Multiply 100 kg by the measured saleable oil yield for your seed and process. At an illustrative yield of 28%, the result is 28 kg of filtered oil, before conversion to litres.

Detailed Engineering Analysis

Do not use one yield figure for mustard, sesame, sunflower and every other seed. Also distinguish the seed's total oil content from what the press actually recovers. Your trial sheet should record raw-material weight, preparation, crude oil, sediment, final oil and cake. Use the filtered result for sales planning. Comparing batches from different suppliers can help you choose raw material on the basis of saleable output rather than purchase price alone.
