Wear Parts & Accessories

Original Quality from Kambas OleoPress

High-quality replacement and wear parts for screw oil presses – manufactured to original specifications. For our OleoPress machines, the Komet oil presses of the insolvent IBG Monforts Oekotec GmbH & Co. KG, and compatible with common models from other manufacturers. Ensure the longevity and performance of your oil press.

Spare Parts for Large Oil Presses

The following overview shows a selection of available spare parts for screw oil presses. For a complete overview of which parts are compatible with which machine models, please visit our compatibility page.

Spare Parts for Small Oil Presses

For compact screw oil presses we offer a separate range of wear parts. The smaller sizes have specific geometries that are not compatible with parts for large machines.

Why Original Spare Parts Are Critical for Your Oil Press

A screw oil press is a machine that operates under considerable mechanical stress. The press worm (spindle) rotates continuously against the pressing material, transferring forces that generate several tonnes of surface pressure. The press cylinder withstands this pressure continuously – shift after shift, tonne after tonne of pressed seed.

Over time, these components wear down. This is not a defect but an inherent design feature: wear parts are deliberately designed to be consumed and replaceable – to protect more expensive machine components such as the gearbox and motor. However, using low-quality spare parts risks more than just poor pressing results: in the worst case, incorrectly toleranced parts can damage the press cylinder, overload the gearbox, or compromise oil quality through metal abrasion.

Kambas OleoPress manufactures its spare parts to precise original specifications – using the same materials and tolerances as those installed in our own machines. This guarantees a precise fit, smooth operation and maximum service life.

When Do Spare Parts Need to Be Replaced?

Many operators wait too long before replacing parts – often until a clearly noticeable loss of performance occurs. However, there are early warning signs that indicate worn components:

Signs of a Worn Press Spindle

• Oil yield drops measurably, even though the same seed and the same settings are being used.
• The press cake contains significantly more residual oil than usual – visible as a greasier, darker appearance.
• The machine runs less smoothly or vibrates more than when new.
• Elevated motor temperature or more frequent triggering of the thermal protection.

Signs of a Worn Press Cylinder

• The pressed oil is cloudier than usual – a sign that the slot dimensions of the strainer basket have become too wide and press cake particles are entering the oil.
• Uneven oil flow from the strainer slots.
• Visible grooves or deformation on the inner wall of the cylinder.

Signs of an Incorrectly Set or Worn Nozzle

• The press cake is too soft or does not break cleanly – indicates insufficient back pressure.
• Press temperature rises too high – the nozzle opening may be too small or blocked.
• Irregular pellet shape or crumbling cake after the nozzle.

Rule of thumb for service life: With regular operation (several hours daily), the press spindle should be inspected every 500–1,000 operating hours. The press cylinder generally lasts longer, but should be checked for wear at least once per season. Exact intervals depend on the seed type, grain size and operating temperature.

Which Spare Part for Which Seed?

Not every oil press and not every seed places the same demands on wear parts. A key factor is the hardness and moisture content of the pressing material: hard, dry seeds such as rapeseed or sunflower seeds stress the worm more than soft, moist seeds such as linseed or walnuts.

Seed	Recommended Spindle	Notes
Rapeseed	R8	High oil content, hard grain – high wear pressure
Sunflower	R8	Husks increase abrasion – inspect spindle regularly
Linseed	R11	Soft, mucilaginous pressing material – R11 prevents blockages
Pumpkin seeds	R11	High oil volume, soft structure – lower pressure required
Walnuts	R11	Moist kernels – low temperature is important
Mustard seed	R8	Small grain, hard pressing material – good sealing required
Hemp seed	R11	Soft seed, heat-sensitive active compounds

If you are unsure which spindle is best suited for your seed, we are happy to advise you directly – by phone or via our contact form.

Compatibility: Which Machines Are Supported?

Our spare parts have been developed primarily for the OleoPress machine series (Oleo P 8, P 20, P 40). In addition, many parts are compatible with oil presses from other manufacturers whose geometries are similar or identical in design.

Known compatible models include machines from Oeltech (e.g. FX20 – for which there is also a dedicated extension set) as well as selected models from IBG Monforts Oekotec. The exact compatibilities are listed in our compatibility table.

If you own a machine that is not listed in the table, please send us the model designation and the dimensions of the part to be replaced. We will then check whether one of our spare parts fits or whether we can offer a custom production.

Extension Set for Oeltech FX20

For operators of the Oeltech FX20 we offer a specially developed extension set that enables the use of OleoPress spare parts in this machine. The set contains all necessary adapters and parts for a simple changeover without complex modifications – ideal for anyone who wants to benefit from competitively priced original parts and fast availability.

Frequently Asked Questions about Oil Press Spare Parts

How do I find out which spare part I need?

The easiest way is through our compatibility table: all machine models and their corresponding parts are listed there. Alternatively, you can send us your machine’s model designation and – if possible – the dimensions of the part to be replaced. We will then help you directly.

What is the difference between press spindle R8 and R11?

Both spindles have the same outer geometry and can be used in the same machines. The difference lies in the worm pitch and geometry: the R8 is designed for hard seeds (rapeseed, sunflower, mustard) and generates higher pressing pressure. The R11 is optimised for soft seeds (linseed, pumpkin, walnut) and operates with lower resistance, which prevents blockages and keeps oil temperature low.

How often should the press spindle and press cylinder be replaced?

This depends heavily on the pressing volume, the seed type and the operating temperature. As a guideline: with regular operation (several hours daily), the press spindle should be inspected every 500–1,000 operating hours and replaced if necessary. Check the press cylinder for wear, grooves or changed slot dimensions at least once per season.

Are the parts also suitable for older IBG Monforts oil presses?

Our parts are compatible with selected models of the former IBG Monforts Oekotec GmbH & Co. KG. Which models are supported can be seen in the compatibility table. More information about the old IBG Monforts oil press can also be found on our overview page.

Can I collect spare parts directly from you?

Yes, collection from our warehouse in Mönchengladbach is possible by prior arrangement. Please contact us in advance by phone or email so that we can have the desired parts ready for you.

How long does delivery take?

Stock items are generally dispatched within 1–2 working days. For custom productions or non-stock items, we will agree the delivery time with you in advance. We strive to keep your machine’s downtime as short as possible.
