Mustard Seed Processing Lines

Preliminary cold pressing: Primary oil extraction in a screw press at up to 60°C. This approach preserves the product’s natural vitamin content and low acid number.

Extrusion (or toasting) and final pressing: Fat-rich cake (oil content 25–30%) is heated to 110–130°C.

This ensures:

• Efficient extraction of remaining oil
• Preparation of protein for maximum digestibility by animals (increased bypass protein)

 

Purification and storage: Oil passes through a purification system (separator or filter press) to remove impurities, then is pumped into storage tanks. Cake is cooled to a safe temperature and transported to floor storage.

Output result: High-protein cake with protein content of 34–36% and low residual oil content—only 8–10%.

Economic benefits and advantages of mustard processing

Having your own processing line means moving from selling raw materials to selling high value-added products:

High product yield: From 1 ton of mustard seeds, you get 330–380 kg of natural vegetable oil (depending on seed oil content)

Protein concentration: The protein level in the output material significantly increases in the finished cake (compared to the original raw material), making it a valuable component of compound feed

Safety guarantee: The extrusion/toasting process ensures microbiological purity of the cake and absence of foreign impurities

Requirements for mustard seeds

To ensure maximum line productivity and oil yield, mustard seeds must meet the following criteria:

Optimal moisture: 7–8% (critical for quality pressing)

Cleanliness: mandatory removal of light and heavy impurities

Impurity content: no more than 2-3%
