Which hydraulic oil press machine is used to extract Sacha Inchi oil?
The hydraulic oil press machine (BY-180, Henan Beyrong Machinery Co.,Ltd., Shanghai, China) was used for extracting the sacha inchi oil (SIO). The machine, as depicted in Figure 1, consisted of a generator with adjustable pressure (0¨C55 MPa) and a pump controller. The maximum pressure used in this study was limited to ¡Ü50 MPa.
How to extract oil from sacha inchi seeds?
Screw press extraction is a cost-efficient method, requiring a shorter extraction time than solvent extraction process and leaving no solvent residues in the oil product. Here, a single screw press machine at different press head temperatures was used to extract oil from Sacha inchi seeds.
Can screw expeller cater massive Jatropha biomass for oil extraction?
This study is aimed to make efficient screw expeller to cater massive Jatropha biomass for its oil extraction. A computational flow dynamics (CFD) simulation is performed to estimate the pressure developed inside the barrel through screw pressing when the feedstock is Jatropha seed.
Do operating parameters affect oil yields from sacha inchi seeds?
In this work, the effects of operating parameters, such as drying temperature (60, 75, 90°C) and press head temperature (60, 75, 90°C), on oil yields from Sacha inchi ( Plukenetia volubilis L.) seeds were studied using a single screw press machine.
