They are placed in shelves which are in the press. When squeezed together the oil runs free. The cakes are taken out of the press and the edges are trimmed. Another method of extracting the oil is shown: expellers. This is more modern method. One machine can do all the work. Worm screw presses the meal into a slotted cylinder.
