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…
When most oilseed processors talk about extraction—whether using mechanical equipment to physically crush seeds or employing solvent extraction to dissolve them chemically—they’re referring to the specific moment when the oil is separated from the seed. But the truth is that extraction is just one piece of the puzzle. Every step in the process determines the…
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…
About 98% of the world’s soybean meal is used as animal feed, supplying essential nutrients to poultry, swine, livestock, fish, and pets around the world. What makes this byproduct leftover from soybean oil extraction vital for animals’ daily diets? In a word: protein. The value of any oilseed meal is determined by the quality of…
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…
When you factor in all the dedicated equipment, specialized expertise, skilled labor, and regulatory certifications required to run a solvent extraction plant, oilseed processing can be quite expensive. That’s why many companies outsource the intricacies of extraction by leveraging toll processing services instead. By partnering with a toll processing facility like ENAT INTERNATIONAL, your company…
