Oil-bearing seeds such as soybeans, sunflowers, cotton, groundnuts, mustard, sheanuts, canola, rapeseed, and rice bran must be carefully prepared before extraction. Proper preparation ensures maximum oil recovery and protects downstream equipment. Depending on protein requirements, seeds can also be partially or fully dehulled.
Kumar's integrated oilseed preparation systems are designed to maximise oil yield, safeguard product quality and reduce operating costs — engineered to perform reliably across all seed types and scales of operation.
Oilseed preparation involves a carefully engineered sequence of mechanical operations, each designed to condition seeds for efficient extraction.
