What We Can Do for You
Oilseed Processing
Kroppenstedter Ölmühle processes a broad range of conventional and organic oilseeds across food, supplement, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty applications. Our experience with both established and niche materials means we can accommodate technical requirements that larger processors often cannot.
Oilseeds we regularly work with include:
- Almond
- Sesame
- Hempseed
- Flaxseed
- Black Cumin
- Soy
- Other specialty and niche materials by request*
*Additional oilseeds can be evaluated based on processing requirements and material properties.
Whether you are working with well-known commodity applications or entering a specialized or emerging market, our depth of experience supports your product concept.
Oilseed Refining & Refreshing
Get more from your oils with small-scale refining and refreshing tailored to your specific quality and application requirements. Our refining services improve clarity, stability, flavor, odor, and appearance while avoiding unnecessary processing steps that add cost without adding value.
Our batch-based refining process is particularly well suited to specialty oils, organic oils, pilot projects, and low-MOQ production.
Milling
Let us know what particle size you need, and we will handle the rest. Coarse and fine milling options serve applications from food formulations to technical and industrial uses, with processing parameters adjusted to match your specifications.
Press Cake Processing
Extract more value from every batch. Press cakes are converted into functional secondary products through drying and milling, yielding protein- or fiber-rich ingredients that complement your oil production.
Processing can be integrated with pressing operations or run independently, depending on your project structure.
Contract Processing
Kroppenstedter Ölmühle offers a contract pressing service in addition to producing our own oils. Bring us your oilseeds and leave with high-quality oils and press cakes, produced without solvents. Our mechanical pressing is well suited to specialty and organic materials and to applications where sensitive raw materials require careful handling.
Pressing can be arranged as a standalone service or as part of a fully integrated chain that includes refining and press cake processing, whatever your supply chain requires. Our infrastructure supports pilot projects, niche products, and established specialty production without requiring you to invest in your own facilities.
Production Flexibility That Works at Your Scale
Scale up or start small—our processing capabilities are intentionally built for small- to mid-scale production, with no prohibitive minimums and no commitments that don’t fit your business.
- Processing quantities from 10 kg up to 5 Mt of oil per day
- Refinery capacity from 2.5 Mt (excluding small-scale)
- Suitable for specialty, pilot, and scalable production models
Whether your goal is to meet quality specifications, refresh oils after transport or storage, improve sensory characteristics, or prepare products for food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, or technical applications, we can design a refining approach that fits your needs.
