Characterization of oilseeds mechanical expression in an instrumented
This work studies oil seeds mechanical expression in a screw press. For this purpose
a pilot-scale screw press (0¨C40 kg/h) was instrumented by installing sixteen pressure sensors and three temperature probes throughout the screw. Canola (Brassica napus L) and flax (Linum usitatissimum) seeds were used for investigation.
