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.
What is the design and fabrication of a palm kernel oil expelling machine?
IV. CONCLUSION The design and fabrication of a palm kernel oil expelling machine includes the construction of the hopper, the expelling chamber, the determination and selection of the appropriate belt and electric motor among other components.
How does a palm kernel machine work?
The machine design enables cold palm kernel seeds to be processed without pre-treatment, the breaking and cooking operation being performed by the action of the screw shaft within the barrel of the unit. The machine has a nominal input capacity of approximately 280kg/hr when driven by a 10hp Electric motor.
How a palm oil extraction machine works?
Therefore, a research was undertaken to design and develop a manually operated palm oil extraction machine at the department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University. It is a press type machine. A screw leads a piston manually in a perforated cylinder to press the mesocarp (pulp of palm fruit) to extract oil.
