  • What is a palm kernel oil expeller machine?
  • A high torque and low rotational speed palm kernel oil expeller machine was developed by introducing an adjustable choke mechanism that permits adjustment of the back pressure to regulate the thickness and dryness of the pressed cake passing through the clearance between the barrel and the screw shaft.
  • Who makes palm oil processing machines?
  • This company is an affiliate manufacturer of crop-processing machines designed by IITA. The company produces the full range of palm oil processing machinery. The nutcracker, kernel/shell separator and palm kernel expeller are produced to handle palm kernel. The expeller has machined flights on a single shaft with threaded backpressure cone.
  • Is a palm kernel oil expeller suitable in Nigeria?
  • Palm kernel oil (PKO) is under-exploited and the rural-based oil extraction equipment has a low efficiency in Nigeria. Therefore, development of a palm kernel oil expeller and investigation of the suitability of the oil extracted are presented.
  • What equipment is used to produce palm oil?
  • Generally machines are produced having a 1 tonne/hr capacity for palm oil while the palm kernel machines have rated throughputs of 150-250 kg/hr. Equipment includes: Horizontal digester with spindle-press combination (NIFOR-Mini type). CENTRE DE FORMATION TECHNIQUE MSGR. STEINMETZ (CFTS)
  • What is a palm kernel cake expeller?
  • The expeller is modified in such a way that the expulsion unit and palm kernel cake section are carried out simultaneously thereby minimizing tardy time and boosting productivity. The key principal units of the machine namely, hopper, upper and lower barrel, hand wheel, etc. are designed.. The expeller is robust and easy to operate.
  • How efficient is a palm kernel oil extraction machine?
  • This research work is focused on the design and construction of a palm kernel oil extraction machine. The machine was designed and fabricated using locally available materials. The machine was evaluated for performance and the results obtained show that the mechanical method is more efficient (66.07%) than the traditional method (37.69%).
