  • Where is the screw press used in palm kernel oil extraction?
  • Most enterprises involved in palm kernel oil extraction business in Nigeria employ the screw press, most of which are imported from Malaysia, England, and Germany and lack certain important local content in the design and development.
  • How palm kernel oil is processed in Nigeria?
  • Large percentage of palm kernel oil in Nigeria market is processed from the traditional method which is not only unhygienic but is equally labourious and time consuming. This research work is focused on the design and construction of a palm kernel oil extraction machine. The machine was designed and fabricated using locally available materials.
  • Should oil-palm kernels be crushed when using a screw press?
  • Oil-palm kernels should not be crushed when using a screw press designed for whole kernels, because, doing so will most likely result to poor oil yield. Palm kernel oil production in Nigeria is not fully exploited due to nonmechanization of the production process.
  • Are screw presses suitable for palm kernel oil expression in Nigeria?
  • Obviously, there is a problem of inadequate or even unavailability of design information for the rational, empirical, or optimum design of screw presses for palm kernel oil expression in Nigeria. There are no established theories for screw pressing of palm kernel for oil expression.
  • How efficient is a palm kernel oil extraction machine?
  • This research work is focused on the design and construction of a palm kernel oil extraction machine. The machine was designed and fabricated using locally available materials. The machine was evaluated for performance and the results obtained show that the mechanical method is more efficient (66.07%) than the traditional method (37.69%).
  • What is a palm oil production plant?
  • This Palm Oil Production Plant is based on practically proven technology which is not only energy efficient & environment friendly, but also economical. This is a large scale palm kernel oil processing project set up in Nigeria. The production capacity is 120 tons per day. It is a complete plant including Seed Cleaner, GOYUM 27
