  • What is a palm kernel oil expeller machine?
  • A high torque and low rotational speed palm kernel oil expeller machine was developed by introducing an adjustable choke mechanism that permits adjustment of the back pressure to regulate the thickness and dryness of the pressed cake passing through the clearance between the barrel and the screw shaft.
  • 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 are piston press expellers used for?
  • Recently, they have found their uses in energy and automotive industries as biodiesel and engineering industry as cooling fluid in machining process and lubricants for machine components. The main objective of this work was to design, construct and test the performance of a manual piston press expeller for palm fruit. (Elaeis guinensis).
  • How was a palm seed machine made?
  • The 4×4 cm steel tube was used to construct the structure of the machine. The machine was 70 cm wide, 70 cm long and 70 cm high. The tank for conveying palm seeds was made of sheet steel which was rolled into the cylinder with 40 cm in diameter and 40 cm high. There were two exits at both sides. The separating rack was attached to the shaft.
