  • How does an expeller press work?
  • Expeller pressing is based on the principle of applying pressure and friction to the raw materials to squeeze out the oil. An expeller press is a screw-type machine that consists of a barrel, a screw, a hopper, a motor and an outlet. The raw materials are fed into the hopper and then conveyed into the barrel by the screw.
  • What are the three stages of expeller pressing?
  • The process of expeller pressing can be divided into three stages: pre-treatment, pressing and post-treatment. Pre-treatment: This stage involves preparing the raw materials for optimal oil extraction.
  • What is expeller pressing used for?
  • In the edible oil industry, expeller pressing is used to produce cooking oils, salad oils, margarine, shortening, etc. from various seeds and nuts, such as soybean, canola, sunflower, cottonseed, peanut, castor and flax. In the biodiesel industry, expeller pressing is used to produce biodiesel from vegetable oils or animal fats.
  • 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.
