  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • What is the difference between cold pressed and expeller pressed sesame oil?
  • Sesame oil: Sesame oil is one of the most flavorful and aromatic oils in the world. It is extracted from the seeds of the sesame plant by expeller pressing or cold pressing. Expeller-pressed sesame oil has a higher smoke point and a lighter color than cold-pressed sesame oil, which has a lower smoke point and a darker color.
