Oil Press Oleo P 8 L – Compact Cold Press with 400V Three-Phase and Fixed Speed
The Oleo P 8 L is the robust standard version of our compact entry-level machine: Featuring a 400V three-phase connection and a fixed speed of 16 rpm, it is designed for reliable continuous operation – simply switch it on and start pressing. Ideal for direct marketers, farmers, laboratories, and small businesses that regularly process the same oilseeds and have a fixed location with a three-phase power supply.

Technical Data – Oleo P 8 L
The Oleo P 8 L in Detail – Reliable Cold Press for Continuous Operation
The Oil Press Oleo P 8 L is the proven standard variant of the Oleo P 8 series. The “L” stands for Line – stable, constant-performance operation on a classic 400V three-phase power supply. With its fixed speed of 16 rpm, it is designed for a reliable, robust daily pressing routine: switch on, fill in seeds, extract oil.
Due to the fixed speed, no parameter settings are required – a clear advantage for everyone who processes the same oilseed daily and needs maximum reproducibility with consistent yield and oil quality. The machine is particularly popular in laboratories, agricultural operations with three-phase connections, oil mills, and farm shops where a consistent seed type is pressed regularly.
With a weight of only 55 kg and compact dimensions of 500 × 350 × 660 mm, the Oleo P 8 L is space-saving and easy to handle. It processes up to 8 kg of seeds per hour – sufficient for those producing up to approx. 50 kg of seeds per week. The machine is delivered filled with food-grade lubricant and is ready for use immediately after connection to the three-phase power supply.
All components in contact with oil are made of food-safe materials. The stainless steel hopper meets the highest hygienic standards and can be cleaned quickly and without residue – an important factor for professional edible oil production.

Suitable Oilseeds for the Oleo P 8 L
The Oleo P 8 L is an all-rounder for cold pressing and processes a wide range of common oilseeds. The fixed speed of 16 rpm is optimally tuned for robust, oil-rich seeds:
Proven Oilseeds
- Rapeseed (Canola) – high oil content, ideal for break-in and continuous operation
- Sunflower seeds – hulled or unhulled, high yield
- Flaxseed (Linseed) – rich in Omega-3 fatty acids
- Pumpkin seeds – intense aroma, popular edible oil
- Hemp seeds – valuable nutrient profile
Other Suitable Seeds
- Walnuts – with appropriate pre-crushing
- Mustard seeds – spicy-pungent edible and industrial oil
- Chia seeds – high Omega-3 content
- Evening primrose – high-quality cosmetic oil
- Milk thistle – medical-cosmetic application
Press Spindle Recommendation
The included standard screw R6 is suitable for most common oilseeds. For optimal results we recommend:
Oleo P 8 L or P 8 U – Which Variant Fits?
The Oleo P 8 is available in two variants. The main difference lies in the connection and speed control:
| Oleo P 8 L (This Page) | Oleo P 8 U | |
|---|---|---|
| Voltage | 400V, 3-ph (Three-Phase) | 230V, 1-ph (Household) |
| Speed | 16 rpm fixed | 5–25 rpm continuously variable |
| Frequency Inverter | No | Yes, integrated |
| Motor Power | 0.37 kW | 0.37 kW |
| Weight | 55 kg | 55 kg |
| Ideal for | Fixed location with three-phase, consistent seed type, maximum simplicity | Flexible use, various seeds, no three-phase connection available |
Recommendation: If you regularly press the same oilseed at a fixed location with a three-phase connection and are looking for an uncomplicated solution, the P 8 L is the best choice. If you want to process different oilseeds or press without a three-phase connection, you should choose the P 8 U.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Oleo P 8 L
What power connection do I need for the Oleo P 8 L?
The P 8 L requires a 400V three-phase connection (3-ph, 50 Hz). This is usually available in commercial operations, barns, and workshops. If no three-phase connection is available, we recommend the Oleo P 8 U with a 230V single-phase connection.
What is the difference between P 8 L and P 8 U?
The P 8 L operates with 400V three-phase current at a fixed speed of 16 rpm – ideal for constant operation with a consistent seed type. The P 8 U runs on 230V and has an integrated frequency inverter for continuously variable speed control (5–25 rpm). Otherwise, both machines are technically identical.
How fast can I press with the P 8 L?
The maximum seed capacity is up to 8 kg/h. Actual performance depends on the type of seed and the moisture content. With rapeseed, 6–8 kg/h are typically achieved; for high-fat, soft seeds like walnuts, the performance is slightly lower.
Can I process different seed types with the P 8 L?
Yes, that is possible. However, the fixed speed of 16 rpm is optimized for robust, oil-rich seeds. For more sensitive seeds like walnuts or flaxseed, where a lower speed ensures better oil quality, we recommend the Oleo P 8 U with adjustable speed. When changing seeds, we recommend a thorough cleaning of the machine.
Do I need special accessories to start?
No. The machine is delivered “Ready-to-use” – including stainless steel hopper, control cabinet, heating jacket, complete nozzle set (Ø 5–16 mm), and special tools. Simply connect to the three-phase power supply and start pressing.
How difficult is the cleaning of the Oleo P 8 L?
The design is engineered for quick maintenance. The screw, cylinder, press head, and hopper can be disassembled and cleaned in just a few steps with the included special tools. Stainless steel and food-safe materials meet the highest hygienic standards for edible oil production.
Are spare parts available long-term?
Yes. Kambas OleoPress guarantees the permanent availability of all wearing parts – press spindles, press cylinders, nozzles, and other accessories – even years after purchase. All parts are manufactured in Germany and are available from stock.
Do you also offer filter presses and bottling systems?
Yes. For the complete oil production chain, we offer matching Oleo F series filter presses (F 20, F 200, F 350, F 470) as well as bottling plants (AF3, AF4). This allows you to obtain everything from seed to finished bottle from a single source.
