OIL EXTRACTION MACHINE Department of Mechanical Engineering 1,2,3,4 Sri Sairam Engineering College, Chennai 600 044. Groundnut oil extraction involves extracting oil content of the groundnut seed. The prepared ground nut comes under three roller mills between top roller and feed roller of these roller’s rotates the prepared ground nut is squeezed.
What is groundnut oil manufacturing process?
The groundnut oil manufacturing process consists of two methods: mechanical pressing and solvent extraction. The mechanical pressing method extracts 85% of the oil, while the remaining oil is extracted using the solvent extraction method.
How are groundnuts processed?
After harvesting, groundnuts are received at processing facilities and undergo preparation, pressing, and crude oil refining. Initial processing involves removing foreign objects such as leaves, nodes, and weed seeds.
What are the components of oil extracting machine from nuts?
The oil extracting machine from nuts consist of cylindrical head with feeding hopper, the machine housing( casing), rotating shaft, flange, electric motor seat, bearings and pulley system. The feeding hopper holds the nuts for extracting processes.
