Hello dearly beloved, it is with a great passion that I pen down this powerful Cold pressed Moringa oleifera oil extraction eBook. It came as a result of the desire to make available an easy to use guide for you who are interested in expelling oil from the Moringa oleifera seeds using simple moringa oil extraction machines and due to requests by people.

MORINGA OIL EXTRACTION

Having used different moringa seed oil extraction machines before, I realized that it is easier to expel oil from a manual machine especially for people who are looking at doing it as a business. It is very economical and highly efficient.

So it is a privilege to be making this available to the masses at a time like this when moringa oil needs are increasing globally with cosmetic companies, nutritional industries and pharmaceutical industries demanding for more volumes. I believe the book is filling the gap for information on how to effectively and economically produce moringa oil anywhere in the world.

This eBook is written to teach you how to extract oil from moringa seeds using the manual oil expeller (COLD PRESS). The expeller can be used for other seeds like sesame, peanut, etc. But for the purpose of this eBook, we are not discussing how it can be used for the other seeds.

If you got this manual because you want to know how to make money with moringa oil business, I congratulate you as you are on your way to making good money once you get started. I am saying this with confidence, having been in the industry for some time. So get ready to be excited as you read on.

First things first, you need to have a number of materials for your work. Chiefly among them are the moringa oleifera seeds. If you are a moringa farmer, then you just need to harvest your seeds, remove from the pods and dry them. If you are not a farmer yourself and you don’t have access to a moringa farm either, you have to source for the seeds. That takes us to the next point…

BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY BY GATHERING MORINGA SEEDS.
Where do you get your seeds from? Good question, like I said earlier if you are a farmer, good for you. Else, you need to source for your seeds… You can contact us for supply of good quality moringa seeds. Be mindful of the fact that some moringa seeds do not produce good volume of oil!

If you are not conversant with Moringa seeds, please wisdom is profitable to direct; find out from your supplier if the seeds yield a lot of oil. Ask them the time of harvest, as the longer the seeds stay after harvest, the less the volume of oil generated.

Kindly note that moringa seeds are seasonal… it then means you would have to target the peak season and buy in bulk to store. That is for you that want to do oil business sustainably. That way, when the off peak period comes, you will only be smiling and making cool money. Laugh out Loud (Lol!)

Probably the next question on your mind is what times of the year are the peak and off peak periods? Yes, just like other seeds and nuts like peanuts (groundnuts), walnuts, etc., Moringa seeds have a season. Harvest period usually starts around January in some parts of the world. And off season period, when the seeds are usually very scarce starts somewhere around September yearly.

Please note: If you are buying from a far place, it is always better to ask for a small sample to see how it looks first before making bulk orders. This is to ensure that you are getting good quality moringa seeds. Always ask your suppliers to sort the seeds properly, and clean them thoroughly. This is to avoid having much debris that adds to the weight of the seeds. Most times they sell in kilograms. But you may find some suppliers selling in bags or some other forms of measurement.
So wisdom demands that you buy during harvest in bulk to store for later use. Now that we have established where and how to source for your seeds, let’s move on.

HOW TO PREPARE THE MORINGA SEEDS FOR EXTRACTION.
MORINGA OIL EXTRACTION
Follow these steps in preparing your seeds before extraction:

• Harvest pods when fully mature

• Sort seeds and remove any that are bad, moldy or rotten

• Dry seeds - moisture content should NOT be higher than 10%
(You may dry the seeds before or after dehulling)

• Remove husks or seed coats; you may dehull (shell) only 50%

• Separate the seeds from the chaff

its interesting and am eager to continue reading pls update. tnx for sharing your knowledge. we have a moringa farm but we are only using the leaves for food and giving out the seeds.

Continued from last post...

Welcome to the second post in the Practical Moringa Oil Extraction Guide: A step by step easy to follow instructions. In the previous post in this series, we learnt that we needed to begin the moringa oil extraction process by first getting
moringa seeds either from our farms or buying online or offline from farmers. We also learnt how to prepare the gathered seeds prior to expelling moringa oil from them. In this post, we would learn...How to Make Cold Pressed Moringa Oil

HOW TO DECORTICATE (SHELL) THE SEEDS
Having gathered your seeds it is logical to shell them. Now if you are one of the persons who do not shell before expelling, you may as well skip this step. Else, you shell with a machine or mortar and pestle. Or manually break them like shown in this picture(Picture is in the ebook)
For larger quantities of seeds, it is better to use the moringa shelling machine. Below is a picture of a moringa shelling machine…(Picture found in the ebook)


HOW TO SUN DRY THE MORINGA SEEDS
It is very important that you dry the moringa seeds to a minimal moisture content of about 8 to 10%. This is important because if you do not dry them enough, they will get stuck inside the machine and not produce oil… On the other hand, it is not advisable to dry too much. So either way is not good. So how do you then dry it to achieve desired results? Simple, as you expose the seeds to the sun for drying, if it is very sunny, allow it there for a maximum of 5 hours for decorticated (shelled) seeds and maximum of 10 hours for un-decorticated seeds.

Having dried the moringa seeds to the required moisture level, it is time to head to the machine to do the oil extraction proper. If this is your first time, you need to know how to assemble and mount the oil press for the first use. There are different kinds of moringa oil extraction machinery. One type is manual and other electrical: these are the two broad groups of the machinery- Manual and Electrical. If, like many people, you live in a place where there is less constant power supply, I would you get a manual oil press for your moringa oil extraction endeavours.

If on the other hand you have constant power supply at your location, then it is recommended you go for the electrical machine. Below are the pictures of both machines.


HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND MOUNT THE OIL PRESS MACHINERY
For the purpose of this tutorial, we would be using the Manual oil press for illustrations...
In the second ebook, I will explain the electrical oil press processes.
After procuring your oil press, the next thing is to assemble the parts so as to commence work. You need a sturdy table top to use in your mini factory.

Worldwide many oil containing seeds are produced or gathered from wild plants.
Small scale processing of the seeds is frequently not an option or the oil extraction rate is too low. The MANUAL oil expeller fulfils a need in this respect.

It is a low cost expeller for the small scale oil seed processor.
Almost any conceivable oil seed with more than 25% oil to seed can be processed, normally without any pre-treatment.

Oil and press cake can be sold in the local market respectively for household use or as protein concentrate in animal feed. Processing of home grown as well as purchased oil seeds is possible. However, the MANUAL oil press is also ideally suited to serve a migrating contractor going from farm to farm.

In the next post, we will delve proper into how to assemble and mount the oil press machinery proper.

Anybody following? I need to be sure before the next lesson please.

I'm following keenly. I want to ask a question. Can I extract oil from seeds that were dried and stored before purchase? Like the dried ones from the north

Wakes

oracle009:

Wakes

Yes please, Oracle. Only let it not be too long in storage. Usually oil content in seeds begin to reduce after two years of storage. So always find out from the Sellers HOW LONG the seeds have been stored. Always buy same year seeds, if possible.

And don't dry the seeds for TOO LONG under the sun either. This makes seeds too dry and difficult for oil extraction too. So two hours under hot sun is just OK.

I hope this helps you dear.
Blesssings!

HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND MOUNT THE OIL PRESS MACHINERY
After procuring your oil press, the next thing is to assemble the parts so as to commence work. You need a sturdy table top to use in your mini factory.
Particulars of the Manual oil expeller
Worldwide many oil containing seeds are produced or gathered from wild plants.
Small scale processing of the seeds is frequently not an option or the oil extraction rate is too low. The MANUAL oil expeller fulfils a need in this respect.

It is a low cost expeller for the small scale oil seed processor.
Almost any conceivable oil seed with more than 25% oil to seed can be processed, normally without any pre-treatment.

Oil and press cake can be sold in the local market respectively for household use or as protein concentrate in animal feed. Processing of home grown as well as purchased oil seeds is possible. However, the MANUAL is also ideally suited to serve a migrating contractor going from farm to farm.


Properties of the oil expeller:

I did a demonstration video at an The Hunger Project on how to make the oil....
Happy watching:

Any body following?

Do you need more information? I want to be sure somebody is following me here...

Follow the steps below to assemble the machine

1. Setup a strong base for the expeller to be bolted onto.
When mounting the machine, on the wooden table, the expeller
should be bolted at the bottom of the frame and the chassis on the
back.

If not properly attached to the table or bench top the machine will be
moving while turning the expeller handle.

Take the time to build a very secure base or frame to attach the
expeller. Dealing with a wobbly frame during expelling is dangerous!
Your hand may slip off the handle or the device may come loose or
the flammable liquid in the heater bottle may break away from its tether.

Moringa seeds are soft so there is not much resistance from the
handle. But it is important to note that in the course of the expelling
process it is not advisable to stop turning the handle!

Why? Because if this happens, the pressed cake hardens and the
device will get stuck!

When we started out newly, it was the first experience we had…

So I learnt it the hard way! I don’t want you to
have a similar experience. So once again, do not stop turning the
handle while the seeds are still inside.

To be continued

2. First put the chassis of the expeller on the table as shown
below.(Pictures in the ebook please)

(Pictures are in the book; to get the book, kindly check the link in the signature below or call 0.8.0.6.5.3.8.7.8.1.9.)
3. Insert the bolts to the two vertical holes, put the washers and
tighten the nuts. See picture below.(Picture is in the ebook)

4. Insert the screw bolts to the table top in the two holes and
repeat what you did in the previous step as shown in the
pictures below[b](pictures are in the ebook)[/b]. This will fasten the chassis to the table firmly.

5. Insert the washer to the crank. This is very important. If you do
not put the washer, it could damage the press cage. So always
remember to put the washer before inserting the crank to the
press cage.
Bolts
Screw in the Bolts

6. Grease the washer using vegetable oil. This is to avoid wear and tear.
This is also very important.

To be continued...

How to ensure Smoother running of the wear washer
The Manual oil expeller runs smoother when a leather washer is
mounted on either side of the metal washer. This prevents wear on
the washer.
(Picture in the ebook)

Below is a description:
Take a smooth piece of leather of approx. 1 mm thickness.
Cut out two rings with a maximum diameter of 28 mm and a
hole of 14 mm.

You can also make two hole punches from pipes of suitable
diameter to which a sharp edge is ground (see bottom
picture).

Slide the washers onto the expeller screw with the metal
washer in between.

6. The next thing you want to do is the insert the crank into the press
cage.

7. Now you can screw in the cup. Remember to oil the cup and
thread very well before screwing it in.
