  • Can a screw press extract Calophyllum seeds?
  • Hence, reduc-ing the seeds¡¯ moisture content in oil the extraction of the Calophyllum seeds using a screw press could significantly improve the oil yield and the extrac-tion eficiency (Fadhlullah et al. 2015). At a low moisture content, the pressure in the screw press may expand due to the increased seed rigidity.
  • What screw types are used for oil extraction from Calophyllum seeds?
  • The screw types used for the oil extraction from the Calophyllum seeds: transport screw (a), forward screw (b), idle screw (c) Analytical methods.
  • How is oil extracted from seeds?
  • The oil extraction process was conducted at a screw rotation speed of 25 rpm, the seeds¡¯ feed rate of 1.5¨C5 kg·h¨C1 and a pressing temperature of 45¨C75°C. The extracted oil was then filtered using a vacuum filter to eliminate the impurities, and the filtered oil was weighed. The oil yield was, thus, cal-culated based by Eq. (1):
  • Does Seed Feed rate affect oil ex-traction performance?
  • The influence of the seeds¡¯ feed rate in the oil ex-traction performance was investigated at the seeds¡¯ moisture content of 1.7%, a screw rotation speed of 25 rpm and a pressing temperature of 60¨C75°C, and its result showed an oil yield improvement as the seeds¡¯ feed rate soared from 1.5 to 5 kg·h¨C1 for each pressing temperature tested (Fig. 4).
