Abstract: A low speed seed oil expeller press with the capability of extracting oil through a new design that does not crush or grind the seed so as to eliminate the need for filtration and maintain the seed oil at a temperature below 130 degrees F. The seed oil expeller press has a seed preheating capability and controls the pressure and extraction oil temperature by manipulation of the expeller speed, the head volume and the size of the pressed seed exit orifice. The seed oil expeller press eliminates seed rotation within the head volume so as to eliminate crushing, grinding or tearing of the seed by a symmetrical knifed press head. The seed oil expeller press regulates seed temperature, seed feed rate, seed pressure, seed rotation and extracted seed oil temperature so as to compensate for the seed size, seed hardness and seed oil content, so as to allow for seed compression without crushing or tearing to accomplish seed oil extraction at a low (cold press) temperature.
