The oldest method of mechanical oil extraction is the use of cloth or bags in which the seeds are contained and applying pressure on the cloth or bags to obtain the oil from seeds. Presently the oil seeds are pressed exclusive with continuous screw presses or expellers. The full press applications press the oil and the meal is not further treated. At the pre-press operations the pressed cake is processed in the extractor to remove the residual oil. The expelled oil is pre-cleaned, using screend or a screening tank to remove the larger solids in the expelled oil. After pre-cleaning the oil is kept in a crude oil storage tank before being filtered.
