Who developed a screw press for sunflower oil expeller?
Bamgboye and Adejumo (2008) also developed and modified a screw press for sunflower oil expeller. Modh and Mevada (2011) designed and made improvement in some components of oil expeller machine and also carried out the thrust ball bearing analysis and results to compare with analytical results.
What is a sunflower oil press machine?
This is a mechanical method (An oil press machine) used for extracting oil, suitable for both large-scale and small-scale production of sunflower oil. It can be used for the initial processing of sunflower seeds to extract oil and leave behind oil cake. Sunflower oil can be pressed using either cold-pressed or hot-pressed methods.
Why is expeller pressed sunflower oil a good investment?
The method of expeller-pressed sunflower seed oil is popular with investors due to its relatively lower investment costs and the adaptable scale of oil production it offers. This approach allows for the construction of both full-scale sunflower oil plant and small sunflower oil mills, making it more accessible to most investors.
How is sunflower oil pressed?
Sunflower oil can be pressed using either cold-pressed or hot-pressed methods. Cold pressing sunflower oil involves oil extraction through physical mechanical means without heating, or at low temperatures (<40°C). This entire process occurs at a low temperature, resulting in a lower oil yield but preserving the authentic taste of the seeds.
