  • What is groundnut oil expelling machine?
  • Groundnut oil expelling machine is an important device for oil recovery from groundnut seed in a roller mill, direct firing of barrel and pressing with an engine driven oil expeller. Expeller use a horizontal rotating metal screw, which feeds oil-bearing seeds into a barrel shaped outer casing with perforated walls according to Maul et al (2011).
  • How does a groundnut oil extraction machine work?
  • A mechanical means of extracting oil was designed, constructed with locally available materials and tested for groundnut oil extraction. The machine consists of the frame, hopper, gear reduction unit and the power shaft. It was powered by a 1 hp three-phase electric motor.
  • How much groundnut can an expeller process?
  • Expeller are power driven, and are able to process 8 to 300kg of groundnut per hour or even more depending upon the type of expeller used (Khangar and Jaju, 2012). Bigger units which process greater quantities of oil are available for use in larger mills.
  • Is a groundnut oil machine suitable for commercial use?
  • At a regulated heater temperature of 100oC the quality of the oil and groundnut cake was pleasant and edible. Based on the efficiency and the quality of the oil produced, this machine was recommended suitable for the production of groundnut oil for commercial use.
