Hot Press Sesame Oil โ What Your Local Market Buys
Roast the seeds first. Then press. The oil comes out dark, smoky, and aromatic โ exactly what people in Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, and Khartoum expect when they buy sesame oil.
Roast
27KW roaster. Golden brown, not burnt. The aroma comes from this step.
Press
Load the 300mm barrel. 47-51 Mpa of pressure. Oil flows out.
Filter
Run through HN-10SL filter press. Crystal clear. Bottle and sell.

Cold Press Sesame Oil โ Premium Export Quality
No roasting. Raw sesame seeds, room temperature, high pressure. The oil is pale golden, mild, with all natural nutrients intact. Health food stores and organic buyers in Europe and Japan pay premium prices for this โ cold-pressed sesame oil in European retail typically sells for USD 8-15 per liter, while hot-pressed dark oil in African local markets moves at USD 2-4 per liter. Same seeds, different process, a real price gap you can capture.
- Lighter color, milder taste โ Western markets prefer this
- Vitamin E, phytosterols, natural enzymes โ all survive cold pressing
- Label it "virgin cold-pressed" and sell at a premium
- Same machine as hot press. Just skip the roasting step. You can switch between batches.
"Our Ethiopia customer runs hot press in the morning for Addis Ababa restaurants, cold press in the afternoon for his Dubai export distributor. Same HN355, two different products."
Sesame Oil Quality Specifications
| Parameter | Hot-Pressed (Local Market) | Cold-Pressed (Export Grade) |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Dark brown to amber | Pale golden to light yellow |
| Acid Value | ≤ 3.0 mg KOH/g | ≤ 2.0 mg KOH/g |
| Peroxide Value | ≤ 10 meq/kg | ≤ 5 meq/kg |
| Moisture & Volatile | ≤ 0.3% | ≤ 0.15% |
| Typical Retail Price | USD 2-4 / liter (local) | USD 8-15 / liter (export) |
A real export scenario: One of our customers in Gondar, Ethiopia runs a dual-shift operation on his HN355 โ dark hot-pressed oil for local restaurants in the morning (about 80 liters per shift at USD 2.5/liter), then switches to cold press in the afternoon to produce pale golden oil for his European distributor (about 50 liters per shift at USD 10/liter). The afternoon shift generates roughly the same revenue as the morning with half the volume. His monthly profit from cold-press output alone covers his equipment loan payment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hot press or cold press โ which should I start with?
If selling to your local market, start with hot press. People expect dark color and strong smell โ that's what sesame oil means in most African and Middle Eastern kitchens. Once you have steady customers, add cold press for premium buyers. The machine does both โ you decide per batch.
What's the actual price gap between cold-pressed and hot-pressed sesame oil?
The gap is real. In Dubai and European import markets, cold-pressed virgin sesame oil sells for USD 8-15 per liter depending on certification (organic, Kosher, ISO). Hot-pressed dark sesame oil in East African retail typically moves at USD 2-4 per liter. Same raw seeds, same press, different processing temperature. The export route requires better filtration and packaging, but the margin difference is substantial enough that many operators run two shifts: morning hot for locals, afternoon cold for export.
How much oil per batch?
325/355 sesame models process 40โ50 kg of seeds per batch. Sesame oil yield is 42-48%, so about 17-24 liters per batch. Run multiple batches daily and you can produce 300+ kg of oil.
How long does one pressing cycle take?
It depends on whether you are pressing hot or cold โ and this is exactly why most of our sesame customers run two separate shifts per day:
- Hot press (dark aromatic oil): ~30 minutes per batch from loading to cake ejection. This includes heating pre-roasted seeds to 120โ140ยฐC, pressing under 47โ51 MPa for aroma development, and controlled pressure release. 1 batch = ~17โ24 liters of oil.
- Cold press (light golden export oil): ~90โ120 minutes per batch. Cold pressing operates at room temperature or slightly warmed (max 60ยฐC) to preserve vitamin E and phytosterols. Pressing must be slower and higher-pressure โ 51 MPa held for 40โ60 minutes per batch โ to extract fully without heat damage. 1 batch = ~15โ20 liters of export-grade oil.
This is the reason many Gondar and Addis Ababa operators use the same HN355 for both: morning shift runs 4โ5 hot-press batches (~80โ120 liters dark oil) for the local market, afternoon shift runs 2โ3 cold-press batches (~40โ60 liters premium export oil). Same machine, same seed, two revenue streams.
Can I press both sesame and til on this machine?
Yes. Sesame (Sesamum indicum) and til (the same species, different regional name) are identical as far as the press is concerned โ same barrel size, same pressure settings, same process. In Ethiopia, both names refer to the same seed. If you're sourcing white sesame for export and brown/black til for the local market, the HN355 handles both without any adjustment.
What equipment do I need besides the press?
For hot press: a seed roaster is essential. For both hot and cold: an oil filter press (HN-10SL recommended) removes suspended particles so your oil looks clean on the shelf. Optional additions include a seed cleaner to remove dust and stones before pressing, and a bottle filling machine if you're packaging for retail.
