How worm shaft is used in screw press?

In our research we introduced the simulation in purpose of stress & displacement analysis of the installed worm shaft. Worm shaft is the heart of screw press as it supplies the pressure required for extracting oil from the raw materials. It is found from observation that the failure of screw causes extra costs which is undesirable.

What is a palm oil screw press?

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.

Can screw press oil expeller be used in small scale oil extraction?

The main aims of this paper design and stress analysis of screw press oil expeller. There are several processes to extract oil from these e.g. chemical, centrifuge and mechanical. A mechanical oil expeller press was designed and analyzed with simulation software (ANSYS) in this paper. This expeller can be used in small scale oil extraction.

How does worm shaft work?

ds). In operation, the worm shaft with the aid of screw threads conveys, presses and squeezes the material (digested palm fruits) for oil extraction. Therefore, in order haft was determined from Equation (1) as given by Mrema and McNulty (1985).
