This table is continuously updated. Do you have more precise values from your practice? Write to us – we are happy to include your experience.

Golden rule: When in doubt between R8 and R11, always start with R11 and increase the speed. Too much temperature irreversibly destroys nutrients – too little pressure can usually be compensated by adjusting speed.

In modern food production, the extraction of vegetable oils is a process that often fluctuates between industrial efficiency and craftsmanship. However, for manufacturers of premium oils and health-conscious producers, there is no alternative to cold pressing. But what exactly happens at the molecular level when seed hits pressure, and why is heat the natural enemy of a high-quality oil?

1. The cold pressing: mechanical perfection

The cold pressing like you do with ours OleoPress Systems is carried out is a purely mechanical process. The seed (e.g. rapeseed, sunflower seeds or linseed) is passed through a snail press. The decisive factor is that no external heat is supplied.

  • The 50 degree limit: During the pressing process, naturally, friction generates heat. However, high-quality cold presses are designed in such a way that the oil temperature remains below 50°C. This is the only way to preserve the sensitive ingredients in their native structure.
  • Nutrient Density: Vitamins such as vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant), secondary plant substances and the essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are heat-sensitive. With the cold pressing, these ‘active ingredients of nature’ remain almost completely in the final product.
  • Haze as a quality feature: Cold-pressed oil is usually only sedimented (let rested) or gently filtered after pressing. It retains its characteristic color and its full, species-typical taste.

2. The hot pressing: industrial mass-produced goods

In contrast, hot pressing (often combined with extraction), which is mainly used in large-scale industry, stands. This is not about the preservation of vital substances, but about the maximum yield.

  • Thermal load: The seed is heated to over 100°C before or during pressing. This liquefies the oil and makes the cell walls of the seed more permeable, which increases the yield.
  • Dry cleaning (refining): The oil obtained from heat is often dark, smells unpleasant and contains bitter substances. So it needs to be refined. In processes such as degumming, bleaching and deodorization, the oil is ‘washed’ at up to 240 °C. The result is a colorless, odorless and tasteless product that has hardly any resemblance to the raw material.
  • Loss of Identity: While a cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil tastes nutty and intense, a hot-pressed, refined oil is just a functional fat without a biological ‘profile’.

3. Why Cold Pressing Is The Right Way For Your Production

Those who choose their own oil press make a statement for quality. Here are the three main reasons why the cold pressing is not possible for direct marketers and manufacturers:

A. The terroir of taste
Cold-pressed oil is like a good wine – you can taste the quality of the seed and the region from which it comes. Hot pressing levels all differences. With a cold press, you create a gourmet product that stands out clearly from the mass-produced goods on the shelf.

B. Health as a sales argument
Today, consumers are specifically looking for ‘native’ or ‘cold-pressed’ oils. The bioactive substances, which are only preserved through gentle pressing, are a key selling point in the health and wellness industry.

C. Preservation of raw materials
If you grow or buy high-quality organic seeds, it would be economically and ecologically absurd to destroy their valuable ingredients with heat. Cold pressing is the only method that transports the value of the harvest into the bottle.

4. Technical challenge: efficiency without heat

The challenge of cold pressing is to achieve an economic yield even without heat. This is exactly where our machines start. Thanks to optimized geometries of the press screws and precise pressure control, our presses achieve maximum oil yield with minimum temperature development.

conclusion

The hot pressing produces fat – the cold pressing produces elixirs of life. For those who value transparency, taste and health, the mechanical cold pressing is the only way. With the right technique, seeds can be processed in such a way that nature continues to live unadulterated inside the bottle.

In this article, we highlight why cold pressing is a prime example of a sustainable circular economy and how you can get the maximum value out of every kilogram of seed.

1. The ‘waste product’ that is not one: the high-quality press cake

In industrial hot pressing and chemical extraction, the seed is degreased and thermally loaded so much that the residue is often only suitable as inferior filling material.

at the cold pressing On the other hand, the press cake (the solid components that come out of the nozzle after pressing) is an extremely valuable coupling product:

  • Protein Power: Since the proteins do not denature high temperatures, the bioavailability of the proteins is retained.
  • Residual oil content: Cold-pressed cake usually contains 8–12% of valuable fat. This makes it a highly energetic and tasty feed or raw material for the food industry.

2. New markets: from animal feed to superfood

The profitability increases enormously if you don’t just see the press cake as ‘waste’. In modern production, two lucrative paths emerge:

A. High quality animal feed (direct marketing)

Farmers who press their oil themselves use the cake as farm concentrated feed. Especially with soy, rapeseed or linseed, this cake is gold value for animal health (glossy coat, good digestion). You save expensive purchases of soybean meal from overseas and close the company’s own material cycle.

B. Flour alternatives (gluten-free & protein-rich)

A growing trend is the grinding of the press cake partly fatty flours. Pumpkin seed flour, almond flour or linseed flour are extremely popular in low-carb cuisine and athletes. These flours often achieve kilo prices on the market, which are almost as high as those of the oil itself. This means that you double your added value per kilogram of seed.

3. Independence from Global Supply Chains

With our own cold pressing system from OleoPress, you make yourself independent of large oil mills and fluctuating industrial prices.

  • Self-control: You determine the quality of the raw material.
  • Freshness guarantee: They produce ‘just-in-time’ as needed. This binds less capital in stocks and guarantees the customer a fresh product with a full aroma.
  • Regional Marketing: ‘Cold-pressed on site’ is a premium label for which customers are willing to pay a fair price.

4. Lower follow-up costs due to wear protection

Economy also means longevity. Our machines are specially designed for the mechanical loads of the cold pressing. While cheap presses on hard seeds wear out quickly, our optimized components guarantee long service lives and low maintenance costs. This massively reduces the production costs per liter of oil over the years.

Conclusion: A win for the environment and wallet

The decision for a cold pressing is not just a decision for the taste, but a clever business strategy. By refining the entire seed – from premium oil to high-quality flour or feed – you create a business model that is stable, sustainable and highly profitable.

Why Kambas OleoPress is the Gold Standard in Cold Pressing: A Deep Look at Technology, Efficiency and Quality

In the world of plant oil production there is a fine line between industrial mass-produced goods and craftsmanship perfection. Anyone who invests in an oil press today does not just buy one machine – they buy the basis for their business model. In a market that is flooded by cheap imports on the one hand and overpriced industrial systems on the other, the Cambas Oleopress focused on them.

But why are professionals – from organic farmer to cosmetics manufacturer – increasingly opting for competition and an oil press from Kambas Oleopress? The answer lies in the symbiosis of German engineering, uncompromising choice of materials and a deep understanding of the biology of oilseed.

1. The Temperature Guarantee: Real Cold Pressing Instead of Marketing Promise

The term “cold pressed” is often strained. Many competitors advertise with it, but do not mention that their machines reach temperatures of 70°C or more under load. Technically speaking, the oil is thus ‘pressed’, but its biological soul – the vitamins and enzymes – is destroyed.

The Kambas Oleopress Advantage:
Our oil press machines, such as the Oleo P 20, are designed to minimize frictional heat by optimized screw geometry. While cheap presses ‘torment’ the seeds through a pressing gap that is too narrow and thereby generate heat, Kambas Oleopress systems work with precise pressure gradients. The result is an outlet temperature that remains reliable in the real cold pressing range. You can smell it, you can see it and you can taste it in the end product.

2. Material quality: stainless steel V4A vs. inferior casting

A look inside an oil press reveals a lot about its lifespan. Many competitors rely on hardened tool steel or simple casting, which is cheap, but has two decisive disadvantages: it tends to corrosion (especially with acidic seeds) and it is not food-safe according to the latest standards.

Why Kambas Oleopress wins here:
We use the highest quality stainless steels (such as V4A steel) for all parts in contact with the product. This is not only extremely acid-resistant, but also low-wear. In an industry where downtime costs cash, Kambas OleoPress plant oil presses offer stability, which is often ten times as high as the Far East imports. Our customers do not buy a machine for three years, but one for decades.

3. Versatility: From linseed to the grape seed

Many presses on the market are one-trick pony. They work well with rapeseed, but fail miserably with extremely hard seeds such as grape seeds or very small seeds such as poppy seeds or rose hips.

The flexibility of the Kambas Oleopress:
Thanks to our modular system with different Press cylinders (type R, E, etc.) our customers can convert their system in minutes. We don’t supply a standard off-the-shelf solution, but a tool that grows with the requirements of the market. If you press rapeseed today, you can use the same machine to produce high-priced black cumin oil or exclusive chilitosis oil tomorrow. This advantage in flexibility ensures our customers’ competitive advantages, which are not achievable with the competition’s rigid systems.

4. Efficiency: maximum yield, minimum residual oil content

Efficiency is measured by the residual oil content in the press cake. If a competitor is proud of his ‘fast’ press but leaves 15% oil in the cake, the operator loses money every day.

The Kambas Oleopress Invoice:
Our presses are designed for maximum extraction at low speed. We achieve residual oil values, which are often in the single-digit range – and without thermally damaging the seeds. If you add up this additional yield to one year, the purchase price of an oil press is often amortized solely by the higher efficiency compared to cheaper competing products.

5.Our Promise: Support and Spare Parts Made in Europe

It sounds clichéd, but it’s essential for survival in production: what happens when a seal breaks or a camp has to be replaced after years? With competitors from overseas, people often wait weeks for parts – or communication fails because of the language barrier.

5. Cleaning and hygiene: time saving is profit maximization

Anyone who has ever cleaned an oil press knows that winding corners and rough surfaces are the enemy of hygiene. Old oil becomes rancid and spoils the next batch.

Design Follows Function:
The Kambas Oleopress oil presses are built for daily practice. The surfaces are polished smoothly, the dismantling of the press unit is very easy and possible without special tools. Where competitors build complicated housings, we rely on an open, easy-to-clean design. This reduces downtime for cleaning by up to 50%.

6. Sustainability and Value Added: The Coupled Product Principle

An often overlooked advantage over competitors is the quality of the press cake. Many industrial presses create a ‘burned’, hard cake that hardly contains any nutrients.

The Kambas Oleopress Press Cake:
Thanks to our gentle pressing, the press cake remains a lively product. It is highly digestible for animals or can be ground directly into high-quality flour. We support our customers in not only being an oil seller, but also suppliers of protein power products. This double added value is only possible with the Kambas Oleopress cold press technology.

7. Conclusion: An investment in the future

The market for high-quality, regional oils is growing rapidly. Consumers are willing to pay for transparency and quality. If you want to survive in this market environment, you need technology that keeps what the label promises.

The Cambas Oleopress  stands for machines that:

  • Protect the organic quality of the seed.
  • deliver the highest yields at the lowest temperatures.
  • Stainless steel construction are durable and hygienic.
  • guarantee fast, competent support from Germany.

If you compare the total operating costs (TCO) – i.e. purchase, maintenance, yield and service life – a Kambas OleoPress vegetable oil press is not only the better, but also the cheapest choice for every serious producer.

IBG Monforts Oekotec oil presses. what now?

A traditional company is no longer active. We explain what this means for your machine – and why Kambas Oleopress is the right place to go.


For decades, the name IBG Monforts Oekotec was a guarantee for high-quality cold pressing machines under the ‘Komet’ brand. Anyone who owns one of these robust machines asks themselves today an urgent question: Where can I still get reliable spare parts?

A brand with a long history

The IBG Monforts Group looks back on a remarkable company history. Founded by August Monforts in Mönchengladbach in 1884, the family business developed into an important industrial group with several sectors – including fluoroplastics, sliding bearing technology, rolling technology and finally the oil press division under the name IBG Monforts Oekotec GmbH & Co. KG.

The oil presses of the Brand KOMET – from compact desktop devices to industrial high-performance systems such as the K 240 – enjoyed an excellent reputation worldwide. The special feature: Instead of individual screws, pure conveyor screws were used, which ensured a gentle cold pressing process. Customers were oil mills, laboratories, delicatessens and development aid projects all over the world.

Why is IBG Monforts Oekotec no longer available?

The IBG Monforts Group has undergone a difficult restructuring process in recent years. The parent company had to file for insolvency at the end of 2020 – but was initially able to restructure itself through an insolvency plan procedure. The oil press subsidiary IBG Monforts Oekotec was still independent at the time and not directly affected.

But the end was also followed for IBG Monforts Oekotec GmbH & Co. KG: In March 2023, the preliminary insolvency proceedings were opened for the assets of IBG Monforts Oekotec. The company is no longer active on business since then. New machines are no longer produced, spare parts are no longer delivered directly by the manufacturer – and customer service is discontinued.

  • 1884
    • August Monforts founds the company in Mönchengladbach
  • decades
    • Construction of the oil press division, brand ” is known worldwide
  • Nov. 2020
    • Insolvency application of IBG Monforts GmbH & Co. – Oekotec initially not directly affected
  • March 2023
    • Preliminary insolvency proceedings opened via IBG Monforts Oekotec GmbH & Co. KG – operation discontinued
  • Today
    • No production, no sales, no spare parts service from the manufacturer

What does this mean for owners of an oil press?

Many operators of oil presses face a real problem: the machines have been running reliably for years – but sooner or later the pressing spindle, pressing cylinder / strainer or nozzle will wear out. Exactly then, the question of spare parts becomes a question of existence for the company.

‘My machine has been running for 15 years. But now I need a new screw – and the manufacturer just doesn’t exist anymore.’

Customers from all over Germany, Austria and the whole world regularly describe this situation to us. The good news: the machines have not become worthless. They are mechanically solid and can be operated with the right parts for many years to come.

✓ The most important things in brief

The Monforts Okeotec oil press continues to work perfectly - provided the wearing parts are replaced regularly. Kambas OleoPress manufactures and supplies compatible spare parts for the common oil presses and IBG Monforts Oekotec models.
