Abstract: A low speed seed oil expeller press with the capability of extracting oil through a new seed compression design that eliminates the need for filtration, and maintains the captured seed oil at a temperature below 130 degrees F. It has a seed preheating capability and controls the pressure and extraction oil temperature by adjustments of the expeller speed, the head volume and the size of the pressed seed exit orifice in the thorn. 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 knived 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.
