The benefits of camellia oil

Camellia oil is a plant oil with multiple health benefits, widely praised for its rich nutritional content and unique health functions.

The camellia oil press is a mechanical device used to extract oil from camellia seeds by mechanically squeezing and separating the oil from the seeds. Its core function is to efficiently press camellia seeds to produce natural, healthy camellia oil. It is widely used in urban and rural oil processing plants, oil mills, and similar settings.

What is the best equipment for squeezing camellia oil?

Choosing appropriate equipment is crucial for improving oil yield, ensuring product quality, and production efficiency when squeezing camellia oil.

Spiral oil press

• Spiral oil press is currently the most commonly used choice for small and medium-sized tea seed oil processing plants. It has the advantages of high automation, high production efficiency, high oil yield, simple operation, and labor saving. It is suitable for hot and cold dual-use oil pressing and widely used in production lines. In addition, the spiral oil press does not require crushing or steaming of tea seeds, and can be directly fried to extract oil, saving time and increasing yield.
• Versatility: Capable of pressing over 20 types of oilseeds including peanuts, soybeans, and sunflowers, offering multi-purpose functionality.
• Continuous Operation: High automation level with a daily processing capacity of 2-8 tons per unit, suitable for medium to large-scale oil mills.

hydraulic oil press

• The hydraulic oil press utilizes a hydraulic system to generate high pressure, squeezing oil cake blocks through a press plate to extract oil. Pressure can reach over 60 megapascals, achieving a residual oil rate in tea seeds as low as 6% or below.
• High Durability: Constructed primarily from carbon steel or stainless steel, with key components (such as the screw press and press plates) undergoing carburizing treatment for exceptional wear resistance.
• Superior Oil Quality: Low-temperature pressing (typically below 60°C) preserves more nutrients, resulting in clear oil color and pure taste.

Modern pressing equipment is usually equipped with intelligent control systems that can accurately adjust pressure and temperature to ensure the quality and purity of the oil. This control system not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces labor intensity, making operations more convenient and efficient.

Nutritional Characteristics of Camellia Seed Oil

Camellia oil is a natural vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the Camellia oleifera plant. Renowned for its unique nutritional value and wide range of uses, it is hailed as the “Eastern olive oil.”

• Rich in unsaturated fatty acids: Contains 78%-85% monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), which helps lower cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular diseases.
• Natural antioxidants: Contains vitamin E, squalene, tea polyphenols, and other components that delay aging and boost immunity.
• Basic skincare: Moisturizes and nourishes. Apply directly to face or body to form a natural protective barrier, ideal for dry and sensitive skin.
• Conditioner alternative: Apply to hair ends after shampooing to repair split ends, leaving hair smooth and shiny.

Camellia Oil for Industrial Use

• Camellia seed oil can be used in the production of margarine, cocoa butter substitutes, and chocolate and candy formulations.
• Camellia oil is also used in the manufacture of coatings, lubricants, and rust preventive oils, as well as in the synthesis of compounds with high molecular weight. Camellia oil is an effective cleaner applied to swords and hand tools (such as axes) to protect them from rust.
• Soap Ingredients: Reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce natural tea seed soap, offering gentle cleansing without irritating the skin.
• Biodiesel: Can be converted into eco-friendly biofuel through transesterification.
