  • What is a groundnut oil expeller?
  • The Groundnut Oil Expeller is a screw type machine, which presses groundnut through a barrel-like cavity. Raw material (groundnut) enters one side of the press and by product (cake) exit the other side. The machine uses friction and continuous pressure from the screw drives to move and compress the groundnut.
  • Are groundnut oil expellers a good investment?
  • The existing Groundnut Oil Expellers in the market are too big and too expensive for these small medium size businesses to invest on. Other limitations are its maintenances aspect as well as its operations.
  • How does a groundnut oil extraction machine work?
  • A mechanical means of extracting oil was designed, constructed with locally available materials and tested for groundnut oil extraction. The machine consists of the frame, hopper, gear reduction unit and the power shaft. It was powered by a 1 hp three-phase electric motor.
  • How much oil can be extracted from groundnut?
  • Oil extracted from groundnut by traditional means can produce about 20-30% from the groundnut whereas the mechanical methods will yield a higher percentage. A mechanical means of extracting oil was designed, constructed with locally available materials and tested for groundnut oil extraction.
