  • What material was used to manufacture the oil expeller press?
  • 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. Locally available material (mild steel) was used in manufacturing of the expeller. ASME shaft design code was used in designing the screw shaft of the press.
  • Can a mechanical oil expeller press be used for small scale oil extraction?
  • This research work presents the design and construction of a mechanical oil expeller press that can be useful for small scale oil extraction. The expeller's screw shaft was designed using the ASME shaft design code, and locally available mild steel was used in its manufacture.
  • What is the machine capacity (MCP) of the oil expeller press?
  • The machine capacity (MCP) of the oil expeller press varies from 85.22 gm/min to 98.52 gm/min. The variation of extracted oil with respect to time is 94.398%~97.3% for material discharge efficiency (MDE).
  • What material was used for 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. Locally available material (mild steel) was used in manufacturing of the expeller. ASME shaft design code was used in designing the screw shaft of the press.
  • What creates pressure in the oil expeller?
  • A screw rotates inside the barrel of the press which creates pressure for the extraction of oil.
  • Which seeds can the machine efficiently extract oil from?
  • The machine can efficiently extract oil from smaller seeds as rape seed, sesame etc. by cutting inner grove of the bars for ease of extraction. It is efficient only for small scale production. Failure of screw causes undesirable costs under excess stress and bending deformation.
