This is the best video on cold pressing machine! We do have a Komet and looking for a KK40! This video is so helpful for someone who is looking for a machine. Thanks for uploading!
14:10 I see this video is six years old, but I'll comment in case someone is interested about motors. A VFD does the "conversion" internally (no converter needed). Using a 120V motor removes the variable speed feature from your press. It is best to use a 120V-1PH VFD that outputs 240VAC 3-PH (if that is not what you already have). Then you can use a regular 120VAC-60Hz outlet to power the 3-phase variable speed motor. The 50Hz rating on the motor represents its design speed. Your VFD provides variable frequency to the motor. The motor could burn out if run too slowly (not enough cooling) or too fast (too much power), depending on what load your press is applying. The goal is to not overheat it. This video shows me that the press speed seems to be pretty important to match to the seed being processed, so don't lose the VFD functionality by using a 120v motor. There are no 120V 3-ph motors, only 240v 3-ph. You don't need a 60Hz motor in order to be "compatible". You need an "inverter rated" motor that allows it to operate speeds from low to high (for example 6Hz to 90Hz). If your VFD is not 120V input, the Automation Direct GS21-10P5 is an example of a 1/2hp VFD (though I can't determine what HP your motor is, looks like about 1/2). Check the label on your drive, maybe you already have everything you need. Also, the VFD you have will fault if the motor is bad. Understand the fault code to be sure. Problems could be the drive or the motor.
The motor that was being replaced was being driven by a Variable Frequency Drive. So the frequency on the plate makes little difference. Running at a higher speed/ frequency than the boiler plate calls for requires good insulation, so the insulation class has to be good enough.(B usually) Running slower under heavy loads can become a problem if the fan built in the motor can't move enough air to keep the motor cool. An external fan might make sense. If the machine keeps eating motors, you might want a larger motor. Going 110 volt sounds right given the need to find power during demonstrations. If I were replacing the motor, I'd use a small 3 phase motor and swap out the variable frequency drive to a 1 phase to 3 phase frequency converter. Cheap reliable motor and one phase power.(albeit 220v)
Hi, I'm Gaston. The machines are very good and interesting. I would like if it is possible to share information with me since I am from Argentina and the machine that makes me spits the seed through the strainer and I don't know what the problem is. From already thank you very much
Hi Gaston, I am not sure what your specific question is. You may need to look for information online or call the company of the machine if you are having specific problems with it. Thank you.
No idea - likely this does not use this type of press but….who knows - best would be to contact the manufacturer. We have extracted oil from a wide variety of oilseeds and other nuts but not this particular crop. Heather
Hi Alhaz, the video itself shares video on different oilseed presses and in the video, there are pages including the cost of the press in USD funds. The video and the prices were done from 2012, so the cost may have increased. Thank you!
THANK-YOU!!!!
Excellent info and feedback.

For a KK40 you can look on www.energieberater-heise.de or send a mail to info@energieberater-heise.de
Thumbs up for your good works! Big thanx.
I'm surprised at the price of these machines.

great video, thanks!
Hi, how can I get a machine like these? I live in Colombia
The motor that was being replaced was being driven by a Variable Frequency Drive.
So the frequency on the plate makes little difference. Running at a higher speed/
frequency than the boiler plate calls for requires good insulation, so the insulation
class has to be good enough.(B usually) Running slower under heavy loads can
become a problem if the fan built in the motor can't move enough air to keep the
motor cool. An external fan might make sense.
If the machine keeps eating motors, you might want a larger motor. Going 110
volt sounds right given the need to find power during demonstrations.
If I were replacing the motor, I'd use a small 3 phase motor and swap out the
variable frequency drive to a 1 phase to 3 phase frequency converter. Cheap
reliable motor and one phase power.(albeit 220v)
Adding the results of the evaluation of the presses at the end would of been useful to hear.

How much? and how can I get it am Nigeria
what temperature do you use to extract oil from coffee bean and moringa seeds
What's about oil filter ?

can we extract laurus nobilis oil from its seed by this kind of pressers
No idea - likely this does not use this type of press but….who knows - best would be to contact the manufacturer.

Please how can I order this machine
Do you have cold press machine for small seed like Chia/Salvia Hispanica L Seeds?

What is the cost of the machine? I need one here in Uganda

What do you do with the meal?

hi do you have machine for olives oil
Hi Mohammed, we don't grow olives this far north so cannot advise, our apologies. Perhaps visitors to this site might have suggestions for you.
I am looking for a cold press extractor to make moringa oil
We're u able to find any? I am looking for same too.
i have alot of moringa seeds for sales
@@andyladha8830 are you still looking ?
