Design and Fabrication of a Manual Hydraulic Palm Oil Press
For this reason, a manually operated hydraulic palm oil press machine was designed, fabricated, and tested using locally available material. This machine was aimed atreducing time and energy consumption, low production rate, intensive labour, and eliminate unhygienic state encountered in the traditional method of pressing oil.
Abstract. Palm kernel is a product of the oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis). This paper provides some information on the composition of palm kernel and oil, the uses of palm kernel oil (p.k.o), and palm kernel oil extraction methods. Most enterprises involved in palm kernel oil extraction business in Nigeria employ the screw press, most of
Design, Fabrication and Performance Evaluation of Manually
In this work, a manually operated palm oil screw press was designed, fabricated with locally available engineering materials and the performance evaluation of the machine was carried out. The machine which works with the rotation of the threaded rod has a capacity of extracting palm oil from 43.1kg of already digested palm fruit pulp per batch.
(Keywords: palm oil, palm fruit, hydraulic, press, capacity, design, testing) INTRODUCTION Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is a perennial plant generally agreed to originate in the tropical forest of West Africa (FAO 2004). It is a single, indispensible tree with many vital by-products. The products include palm oil, palm kernel oil,

TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY DIFFERENTIALS IN OIL PALM PROCESSING
Apart from food which oil palm products are known for, palm oil production provides jobs for at least 1.8 million Nigerians (Ayodele, 2010); and serve as a major source of income to a large proportion of the resource poor rural processors in Nigeria (Olagunju, 2008). In spite of the great potentials of oil palm processing in Nigeria, the
E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A motorized hydraulically operated palm oil press was designed, constructed, and tested. The basic features of the palm oil press are the frame, hydraulic ram, hydraulic pump, a 2-way valve, electric motor, cage, collector, sprout, pressing plate, pressure hoses, and hydraulic tank.
