Why do we need modified screw design for peanut oil screw press?
In this research, the modified screw design is considered in order to improve the oil capacity, the efficiency and number of cycles to failure and then to reduce the von-Mises stress, deformation and fatigue stress of automatic oil press machine by changing the pitch of screw shaft for peanut oil screw press expeller.
What is a screw oil press?
The screw oil press squeezes the oil through the high temperature and pressure generated by the screw extrusion material. It can be used to press almost all kinds of raw materials. The screw oil press is a type of automatic oil extraction machine, which mainly squeezes out the oil through a screw. The oil screw press output is very extensive.
What is automatic peanut oil press machine?
Automatic peanut oil press machine is a kind of superior oil pressing machine nowadays in the market. It is used for processing cooking oil from various oil bearing materials such as peanuts, soybeans, sunflower seeds, rapeseeds, oil palm, sesame seeds and so on.
Can a screw press Express Oil from peanut oil?
The unit was tested and found capable of expressing oil from small quantities of the oil-seed, i.e. peanut. The crude oil obtained was found to be of high quality as its characteristics were comparable to literature values for peanut oil. It is important that the screw press be heated so as to heat the meal as the latter is being pressed.
