What is groundnut oil expelling machine?

Groundnut oil expelling machine is an important device for oil recovery from groundnut seed in a roller mill, direct firing of barrel and pressing with an engine driven oil expeller. Expeller use a horizontal rotating metal screw, which feeds oil-bearing seeds into a barrel shaped outer casing with perforated walls according to Maul et al (2011).

What is an expelling machine for extracting oil from groundnut seeds?

An expelling machine for extracting oil from groundnut seeds was designed and fabricated for market oriented production. The procedures employed the design stage, construction and testing. The machine components are: the speed reduction gear, expellant unit, drains collector, driving and driven pulleys, and the hopper.

Does Ethiopia produce groundnuts?

The by-product from the oil extraction of groundnut (groundnut cake) serves as animal feedstuff ( Alemayehu Chala et al., 2014 ). The yield of groundnuts in Ethiopia compared to other countries is extremely low, i.e., below 1.49 t ha ?1 ( CSA, 2021 ), as compared to average yields on a global scale, i.e., 1.65 t ha ?1 ( FAO, 2021 ).

Is a groundnut oil machine suitable for commercial use?

At a regulated heater temperature of 100oC the quality of the oil and groundnut cake was pleasant and edible. Based on the efficiency and the quality of the oil produced, this machine was recommended suitable for the production of groundnut oil for commercial use.
