Streamline your cold pressed castor oil bulk procurement with Nagdev Products. Crushed at our operational plant in Deodar, North Gujarat, our virgin cold pressed oil is extracted from cleaned seeds in a single mechanical pass without added heat or chemical solvents. Featuring low acidity and high quality, it serves personal care and technical formulations.
What is Cold Pressed Castor Oil?
Cold Pressed Castor Oil, widely termed virgin castor oil, represents the pure, unheated primary extraction fluid recovered from the seeds of Ricinus communis. Unlike conventional commercial expelling—which utilizes thermal seed conditioning and high-friction multiple pressings to maximize oil extraction yield—cold pressing relies strictly on a single, gentle mechanical pass where operating temperatures are kept below 50°C. No steam cooking, external heating coils, or chemical extraction solvents are employed during the extraction cycle.
Industrial buyers and cosmetic formulators prioritize cold pressed castor oil bulk procurement because the gentle extraction preserves the native triglyceride structure, natural tocopherols, and bio-active constituents without thermal degradation or oxidation. The oil exhibits low initial peroxide values, minimal free fatty acid content, and an notably light, fresh aroma. Nagdev Products produces authentic cold pressed castor oil at our specialized manufacturing facility in Deodar, North Gujarat, supplying standard bulk packaging for personal care formulators, specialty chemical manufacturers, and commercial export buyers.

How Nagdev Produces Cold Pressed Castor Oil in Deodar
Nagdev Products manufactures Cold Pressed Castor Oil at our plant located at Survey No. 301 P-2, Jada-Kotarwada Road, Village Sardarpura, Taluka Deodar, District Vav-Tharad, Gujarat 385330. Integrated with our 50 TPD seed crushing capacity, our production protocol enforces strict mechanical processing controls:
- Seed Cleaning and Destoning: High-grade whole castor seeds sourced from North Gujarat agricultural mandis pass through rotary seed cleaners, de-stoners, and magnetic grids to remove dust, stones, and vegetable debris.
- Single-Pass Cold Screw Pressing: Cleaned whole seeds feed directly into dedicated mechanical screw presses operating at low rotational speeds. Mechanical friction is carefully managed using water-cooled expeller shafts to ensure internal oil temperatures never exceed 50°C.
- Gravity Settling of Crude Oil: The freshly expelled virgin oil flows into stainless steel settling tanks, allowing coarse seed particles to settle naturally under gravity without chemical flocculants.
- accurate Plate-and-Frame Filtration: The settled oil passes through multi-layer filter presses fitted with virgin cotton filter cloths, removing particulate fines down to complete optical clarity.
- Quality Verification and Packaging: The clarified cold pressed oil transfers into clean, dedicated storage tanks where laboratory technicians verify acidity, peroxide value, and moisture before packaging.

Cold Pressed Castor Oil Bulk Procurement: Virgin Pressing
Conducting your cold pressed castor oil bulk procurement directly with our primary crushing facility in North Gujarat ensures complete integrity of origin. Direct cold pressed castor oil bulk procurement eliminates trading intermediaries and ensures authentic virgin mechanical extraction.
Gujarat is the center of world castor agronomy, with the semi-arid soils across North Gujarat's castor belt (Banaskantha and Vav-Tharad region) producing high-quality seed. Sourcing seeds directly from regional farmers and APMC mandis across Tharad, Deesa, and Vav allows our plant to press freshly harvested seeds within days of arrival, preventing the enzymatic hydrolysis that elevates acidity in aged seed stocks.
Our Deodar manufacturing unit is supported by excellent transportation links:
- Domestic Personal Care Manufacturing Hubs: Reliable highway connections link our facility to major cosmetic, personal care, and specialty chemical manufacturers across Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune, and northern industrial parks.
- National Distribution: Road transport provides dependable bulk deliveries across western, northern, and southern India.
- Seaport Export Infrastructure: Export enquiries welcome. Our proximity to Mundra Port and Deendayal Port (Kandla) allows containerized drums and liquid flexitanks to arrive at container freight stations within hours of dispatch. International buyers streamline their cold pressed castor oil bulk procurement through our responsive commercial sales desk.
Technical Specifications & Plain Parameter Explanations
Quality control managers evaluate Cold Pressed Castor Oil against strict analytical limits:
- Free Fatty Acids (FFA): Specified at 1.00% maximum (calculated as oleic acid). Low acidity verifies that the seeds were fresh and pressed without thermal breakdown.
- Peroxide Value: Capped below 5.0 meq O2/kg at dispatch. Low peroxide value confirms that the cold pressing process avoided thermal oxidation, ensuring long shelf life and oxidative stability.
- Moisture and Volatile Matter: Controlled below 0.25% maximum. Minimal moisture prevents biological spoilage and eliminates cloudiness during storage.
- Hydroxyl Value: Maintained between 160 and 168 mg KOH/g, confirming full retention of natural ricinoleic acid triglyceride functionality.
- Colour (Lovibond Scale): Measured in a 1-inch cell, specified below 15 units (Yellow + 5xRed). The natural pale golden-yellow appearance reflects gentle mechanical processing without chemical bleaching.
- Refractive Index (at 40°C): Specified between 1.4700 and 1.4740, providing rapid spectroscopic verification of botanical authenticity.

Primary Applications of Cold Pressed Castor Oil
The purity and gentle extraction profile of Cold Pressed Castor Oil make it a versatile raw material across technical and cosmetic industries:
1. Cosmetic and Personal Care Formulations
Cold pressed castor oil is utilized in natural lipsticks, lip glosses, mascara, and foundation emulsions. Its high viscosity provides long-lasting gloss, pigment wetting, and smooth sensory spreadability.
2. high-grade Hair Care and Conditioning Serums
In selected hair oils, conditioning balms, and scalp care, cold pressed oil acts as an emollient base that conditions hair shafts, delivering natural luster without synthetic silicones.
3. Specialty Technical Lubricants and accurate Instruments
Because of its low acidity and absence of thermal degradation products, cold pressed oil serves as a specialty lubricant for accurate machinery, clockwork mechanisms, and food-processing equipment where natural botanical vegetable lubricants are required.
4. Natural Soaps and Artisanal Emollients
In cold-process soap manufacturing, cold pressed castor oil is reacted with sodium hydroxide to create rich, stable lather and provide moisturizing properties in selected specialty bar soaps.
