Types of oil making machines available in Toronto

Cold press oil machines operate at low temperatures (below 49°C), preserving the natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional content of the oil. These are ideal for olive oil, flaxseed oil, and hemp oil — popular choices among Toronto’s health community.

Screw press (expeller) machines use a rotating screw mechanism to squeeze oil out of raw materials. They are faster, higher-yield, and suitable for harder seeds like sunflower and soy. Many commercial operations in the Greater Toronto Area rely on expeller presses for their higher throughput.

Hydraulic oil presses use hydraulic pressure rather than a rotating mechanism. They are quieter, produce very clean oil, and are often preferred for olive, coconut, and sesame extraction. These are less common but available through specialty suppliers serving the Toronto market.
