  • How is coconut oil extracted?
  • Coconut oil is extracted from the kernel or flesh of matured coconut harvested from the coconut palm (Cocosnucifera). Coconut is available in two forms as wet and dry materials generally known as wet coconut and dry coconut or copra. The oil can be extracted from both of these raw materials.
  • How copra oil is extracted?
  • Extracted from dried coconut meat ? Copra. The coconut is dried in the sun or in a drier before pressing the oil. The copra is then sent to a coconut extracting machine to obtain crude oil. (Read more: Copra Oil Mill Plant Process) Note: The above mentioned Capacity Range includes single pressing as well as pre-pressing.
  • How does a coconut oil extractor work?
  • A 1500 Watts electric heater was attached to the oil extractor with a thermostat for controlling the temperature needed for the extraction of the coconut oil while the grater was designed and fabricated using stainless steel of 2mm thickness and 280mm long. The grater was designed using shaft handle and two bearings.
  • Can coconut oil be extracted from UN-matured coconut flesh?
  • From the results obtained from the wet basis and dry basis, it was noticed that the extractor can perform better when the coconut meat is dried to 10% – 12% moisture content before extraction. However, it is confirmed that, more coconut oil could be obtained from un-matured coconut flesh. 1. Introduction
