Why this crop is different
Crushing Cottonseed
Cottonseed has the lowest oil content of the seeds on this list, so it is a pre-press seed: the mechanical stage takes what it can and the balance goes to solvent extraction. Ginners moving forward into crushing usually already have the seed on site, which makes the preparation line — delinting, dehulling, cracking — the part worth getting right, not the press.
- Cottonseed is delinted and dehulled first. The lint and hull are a large share of the seed by weight and none of it carries oil, so a mill that presses them is paying to wear its own worms out.
- Most cottonseed enquiries are from ginners adding a crushing line. If that is you, we will size the preparation first.
