Oil mills represent a major investment, and every design choice has lasting consequences. A single oil mill design defect can reduce efficiency, drive up maintenance costs, and limit future growth. From undersized conveyors to poor ventilation, the mistakes often seem small at first but become costly bottlenecks as production scales. By identifying common pitfalls, mill operators and…
Although the screw press tends to steal the spotlight as the ultimate workhorse in an oilseed processing plant, charged with the crucial task of separating liquid oil from solid meal, not even the highest-quality press will perfectly separate every particle. Pressed oil will inevitably contain a certain amount of solid residues known as foots. Recovering…
Starting up your newly installed Expeller, Expander, Extruder, or complete oilseed processing system for the first time can be daunting. These industrial machines and technical processes can seem overwhelming, especially to a new operator—but the good news is that you don’t have to tackle it alone. With Anderson’s startup services and oilseed processing equipment commissioning,…
In previous blogs, we’ve described Anderson’s invention of the first continuous screw press design, which revolutionized the oilseed processing industry. But to really explain what makes Anderson’s Oil Expeller so groundbreaking, we need to take a closer look at the meticulous engineering inside the machine. The precise geometries and tight tolerances of each part are…
The main goal of any oilseed processing plant is to extract oil. But what makes this oil so valuable for so many different uses? Technically speaking, it’s all about triacylglycerol, more commonly known as triglyceride, which is basically a technical term for fat. The value of any type of oil, whether for edible or industrial…
In an industrial oilseed processing plant, where heavy-duty extraction equipment is constantly enduring wear and tear from crushing tough material, optimal performance depends on regular service and equipment maintenance. Just as you routinely take your car to the shop for a check-up every 10,000 miles, it’s even more important to schedule preventative maintenance to examine…
Biofuels and other alternative sources of energy are attracting interest and investments to solve the problems of increased energy demands, depleted reserves of non-renewable fossil fuels, and related environmental concerns. As a clean, renewable answer to the energy dilemma, biofuel production offers a sustainable solution to reduce dependence on fossil fuels—while reducing emissions. However, despite…
As an international company serving clients globally, we can only do so much from Anderson’s corporate headquarters in Northeast Ohio. To extend our service into other corners of the world, we engage manufacturer’s representative teams in other regions who share our commitment to industry-leading oilseed processing equipment and expertise. Anderson has partnered with MIDIKA International,…
The primary objective of any oilseed processing operation is to squeeze as much oil from the seed as possible by separating the liquid fat from the solid meal. Achieving this requires a complex series of steps and processes along the way, which makes oilseed processing quality control an ongoing priority at every step — not…
