• Who developed a modified oil expeller?
  • Singh and Bargale (2000) designed and developed a modified oil expeller based on a novel principle of single feed, double stage compression to improve the efficiency of oil recovery. Bamgboye and Adejumo (2008) also developed and modified a screw press for sunflower oil expeller.
  • What is screw oil expeller?
  • Screw oil expeller is a mechanical device which can generate pressure from rotation of feed to expeller screw manually or automatically. Screw press method for oil extraction is a mechanical method for extracting oil from raw materials. Extracted oil from screw pressing are used either as a food product or as an industrial product.
  • Does kneading temperature affect oil expeller performance?
  • Moses (2014) conducted a performance evaluation test to investigate efficiency of oil expeller machine, the effect of kneading temperature on the oil yield and the extraction losses of the machine.
  • What are the parts of oil expeller machine?
  • This includes body, kettle, main shaft, gears, worms, bearings, barrel, cutter, cone and collar. To rotate the cage, the screw shaft is provided with the gear assembly. The following are the parts involved in the manufacture of oil expeller machine.
  • What are the problems with oil expeller machines?
  • From consumer surveys, it was identified that, poor oil extraction efficiency, high power consumption, large space requirements, high purchasing cost and lack of portability due to increased weight are the most common problems in locally available oil expeller machines.
  • Who developed a screw press for sunflower oil expeller?
  • Bamgboye and Adejumo (2008) also developed and modified a screw press for sunflower oil expeller. Modh and Mevada (2011) designed and made improvement in some components of oil expeller machine and also carried out the thrust ball bearing analysis and results to compare with analytical results.
