  • 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.
  • Can two-stage extruding-expelling process improve soybean oil yield?
  • To examine the viability of this improved two-stage extruding-expelling process, techno-economic analysis was performed by using SuperPro Designer for simulation of the soybean extruding-expelling process. Soybean oil yield increases to over 70% compared to the conventional single-step expelling process with 60%.
  • 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).
