  • How to process shea nut kernels?
  • For processing Shea nut kernels, we need a combination of mechanical pressing unit ( Oil Mill ) and solvent extraction plant (SEP). The following are steps involved in Shea Butter Extraction Plant : Shea nut kernels are separated and cleaned to remove impurities such as dust, metal, plant stalks.
  • 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).
  • What is a shea nut Kettle?
  • The kettle uses steam for indirectly heating the Shea nut kernel. The kettle is specially designed to achieve a temperature of minimum 110°C at the outlet with a retention time of minimum 60 minutes. Coagulate the protein in the meal to facilitate separation of the oil from protein.
  • 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.
  • What is groundnut oil expeller?
  • Groundnut oil expeller has been developed and constructed by some researchers in different sizes, shapes and materials, mostly for industrial uses. Such expellers are expensive, involve high level technology which cannot be afforded by small scale and low income oil millers.
  • How to improve the performance of the oil extraction machine?
  • Also the incorporation of sensors in the feed screw in other to avoid the over loading of the machine should be duly considered. As a result of the observation made during the test run, we also recommend that in subsequent design, the oil extraction rate and residual oil in cake should be analyzed to improve on the machine effectiveness.
