Development and Performance Evaluation of a Variable
This work focuses on development of a variable-pitch tapered-shaft (VATS)screw pressfor enhancing palm fruit oil extraction efficiency. The VATS screw press machine consists of three main
Increase in digestion time increased the solid impurity at all sterilization times. The highest oil extraction ratio of 17.90% and oil extraction efficiency of 79.56% were obtained at the sterilization time of 60 min, digestion time of 10 min and screw speed of 10 rpm. For palm fruit processing, there is therefore the need to carefully select
Development of a Screw Press for Palm Oil Extraction
A palm oil screw press was designed, fabricated and evaluated for small and medium scale palm fruit processors in order to mechanize the extraction process and increase production output. The major components of the machine are standing frame, threaded shaft, speed reduction gear motor, driving & driven pulley and discharge outlet. The highest oil extraction ratio (OER) of 17.90% and oil
Plate 1: Side View of the Oil Palm Screw Press (Adetola et al., 2012) Results of performance test showed that the highest oil extraction ratio (OER) of 17.90% and oil extraction efficiency (OEE
An industry survey of the screw press system in palm oil
1. Introduction. In the processing of crude palm oil, a screw press is the primary equipment for separating the oil palm fruit components, i.e. oil and solids. The output from the screw press (liquid phase – crude palm oil, water; solid phase – mesocarp fibre, nuts, broken kernel, and shell) is fed to two subsequent isolated production lines, namely crude oil purification and kernel
otherwise of the screw press for palm kernel oil extraction and the need for any design improvements. 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1 Description of Magnus (Nig.) Screw Press: The screw press is used to crush and extract PKO from palm kernels in either a continuous or batch mode operation. It consists of a hopper, an extraction unit, oil

reviews few variables that affect the screw press operation performance. INTRODUCTION Screw press operation is one of the most important processes in palm oil mill. It is responsible for extracting oil from digested mesocarp with consideration of the following objectives, minimum oil loss in pressed fibre and minimum nut breakage at

The PV was not detected for both methods. A motorised palm oil extractor produced oil of higher �uality and had higher performance efficiencies as compared to the manual vertical press. The novelty of this work was in producing an efficient e�uipment that is affordable to a smallholder farmer which extracts palm oil of high quality.
Performance test analysis revealed nut breakage index, average throughput and palm oil extraction efficiency of this machine as zero, 204.51kg/h and 97.44% respectively. Thus, the integrated machine constitutes a veritable option for quality palm oil and nuts production boost in small and medium scale palm fruit processing.
