  • Can a mechanical oil expeller press be used for small scale oil extraction?
  • A mechanical oil expeller press was designed, constructed & further analyzed with simulation software (ANSYS) in this research work. This expeller can be useful for small scale oil extraction. ASME shaft design code was used in designing the screw shaft of the press. Locally available material (mild steel) was used in manufacturing of the expeller.
  • How does a oil expeller work?
  • Locally available material (mild steel) was used in manufacturing of the expeller. A 20 hp 3-phase electric motor was used for running the machine and the rpm of the screw was maintained 140 rpm. A screw rotates inside the barrel of the press which creates pressure for the extraction of oil.
  • How does an oil extraction press work?
  • A screw rotates inside the barrel of the press which creates pressure for the extraction of oil. Raw material is feeded through hopper & compressed inside the barrel for oil extraction and the cake is discharged through a choke mechanism outside. The pressure on screw was determined & applied in the created meshed design in Ansys.
  • What is the oil extraction ratio of oil palm screw press?
  • ... Plate 1: Side View of the Oil Palm Screw Press (Adetola et al., 2012) Results of performance test showed that the highest oil extraction ratio (OER) of 17.90% and oil extraction efficiency (OEE) of 79.56% were obtained at the sterilization time of 60 min, digestion time of 10 min and screw speed of 10 rpm (Adetola et al., 2012).
  • How to improve the efficiency of oil extraction machine?
  • The efficiency of the machine could be further improved by cutting inner grove of the bars for ease of extracting oil from smaller seeds as rape seed, sesame etc. It is efficient only for small scale production. Failure of screw causes undesirable costs under excess stress and bending deformation.
  • What is the efficiency & capacity of oil expeller?
  • The expeller has an efficiency & capacity ranging between 68.2% and 85.22 gm/min~98.52 gm/min respectively. ariation of Extracted oil with respect to time 94.398%~97.3% for Material Discharge Efficiency (MDE), 85.22 gm/min~98.52 gm/min for Machine Capacity (MCP).
