  • How to produce castor oil in South Africa?
  • The local demand for castor oil in South Africa has significantly increased. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an industrial scale production plant in the country. Castor oil processing involves a complete set of Oil Production Equipment, among which oil expeller press is the most important machine.
  • How Castor oil expeller Machine Works?
  • The castor oil expeller machine has many outstanding features that can great improve the whole castor oil extraction process. The ripe castor seeds are dried and passed via dehulling to eliminate the shells before extraction. The seeds are then thoroughly pre-cleaned before cooking and then passed through another drying process.
  • Can castor oil bean plants be commercialised in South Africa?
  • North-West University (NWU) alumnus Lesedi Moseki delivered an insightful presentation on the potential commercialisation of castor oil bean plants in South Africa during a webinar held on 9 May 2024.
  • Where are castor seeds produced in South Africa?
  • The largest factories for castor seeds in South Africa can be found in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces. South African domestic production is stable enough to be able to accommodate the local demand, thus most of the castor seeds products consumed in the country are produced locally. Castro oil is usually obtained by pressing the castor beans.
  • Why are castor seeds so volatile in South Africa?
  • Lately, the South African industry for these nutritious seeds has been pretty volatile in terms of production, while the demand for vegetable oil has increased by almost 40%. The volatility experienced by the production of castor seed caused visible fluctuation in the volumes produced.
  • What is castor oil processing?
  • Castor oil processing involves a complete set of Oil Production Equipment, among which oil expeller press is the most important machine. Screw castor oil expeller makes use of the rotation of screw shaft that is designed with various screw worms to push the materials advancing within the pressing cage continuously.
