AOCS Annual Meeting & Expo 2026

AOCS May 3-6 New Orleans, Louisiana, Booth 123

French Oil will be at AOCS this year in New Orleans. If you are running oilseed processing equipment or planning to, come find us at Booth 123.

What We Are Bringing to the Floor at AOCS

We have been building oilseed processing machinery since 1900, and some of the work coming out of our engineering group right now is worth a conversation. A few things we will be ready to talk about at the booth:

Full-press corn germ running 24/7. We have a customer line achieving continuous around-the-clock operation with lower residual oil in the press cake than competitive systems, even with wet corn germ, which is one of the more difficult materials to press efficiently.

Reducing oil degradation at the source. Integration of variable speed drives and water-cooled cage shafts is giving processors more control over temperature and mechanical stress during extraction. The result is better oil quality coming off the press.

Custom screw and feeder configurations. Not every oil-bearing material behaves the same way. We engineer screw profiles and feeder assemblies around the specific material and throughput requirements of each operation, whether that is soybean, linseed, palm kernel, or something less common.

Equipment on Display

Achiever Screw Presses – Our workhorse mechanical screw press, proven across a wide range of oilseeds and difficult-to-press materials. Lower residual oil content. Built for continuous duty.

Stacked Deck Conditioners – Precise control of heat, moisture, and residence time for consistent seed preparation upstream of the press.

Full-Press and Pre-Press Systems – Complete system integration from small-scale operations to large industrial plants, engineered around your specific process and throughput goals.

Refurbishing and Replacement Parts – If you are running existing French equipment (or someone else’s), our rebuild programs and aftermarket support can extend the working life of your line and bring older systems up to current performance standards.

About French Oil

French Oil Mill Machinery Company is a fourth-generation, family-owned manufacturer headquartered in Piqua, Ohio. ISO 9001 certified. Equipment operating in more than 80 countries. Some of our presses from the 1940s are still in production today.

We design, machine, assemble, and support oilseed processing equipment under one roof, and we have been doing it for 125 years.

Schedule a Meeting at AOCS

If you want to sit down during the show rather than catch us between booth traffic, contact us ahead of time and we will set something up.
