Heated press utilizing a pivoting actuating truss for extraction of oils

A heat press for extracting oil from a biological plant, comprising:

• a) a main frame;
• b) a removable first heat platen attached to said main frame;
• c) a removable retractable second heat platen positioned opposite said first heat platen;
• d) actuation means operatively connected to said second heat platen for initiating movement thereto, said actuation means comprising a truss operatively connected to a clevis;
• and
• e) means for providing force to said actuation means.
