  • Can a Magnus screw press extract Palm kernel oil from oil-palm kernels?
  • extensively used for commercial extraction of palm kernel oil (PKO) from oil-palm kernels. In this work, Magnus (Nig.)screw press (Model MS-100,) locally fabricated at Nsukka, Nigeria was evaluated for throughput capacity, feed rate, press cake oil content, oil expelling efficiency (OEE), per‌
  • Should oil-palm kernels be crushed when using a screw press?
  • Oil-palm kernels should not be crushed when using a screw press designed for whole kernels, because, doing so will most likely result to poor oil yield. Citation: Ezeoha, S. L., C. O. Akubuo, and E. U. Odigboh. 2020. Effect of some kernel factors on palm kernel oil extraction using a screw press.‌
  • What is a palm kernel screw press?
  • The kernels were finally put into randomly-numbered and labeled containers (3-litre buckets) ready for processing in the screw press. Palm kernel screw press (MS – 100) fabricated by Magnus (Nigeria) was used for the oil extraction. The press has a capacity of about 101.7 kg h-1 at a speed of 56 rpm, powered by a 45 kW, 3 phase electric motor.‌
  • Which palm kernel screw press was used for oil extraction?
  • Palm kernel screw press (MS – 100) fabricated by Magnus (Nigeria) was used for the oil extraction. The press has a capacity of about 101.7 kg h-1 at a speed of 56 rpm, powered by a 45 kW, 3 phase electric motor. The screw press had a test run for about 2 min before loading and processing the conditioned samples.‌
  • How does a screw press work?
  • The concept of the screw press is to compress the fruit mash between the main screw and the travelling cones to extract the palm oil . The output from the screw press is crude palm oil and press cake. The extracted oil is mixed with fruit particles, water, sand and dirt. The press cake consists of palm fibre and nuts.‌
  • How effective is a screw press for palm oil extraction?
  • The effectiveness of the screw press is very critical in optimizing the oil extraction. Ineffective press will result in high oil loss and maintenance cost of the machine. There are various types of screw presses used for the extraction of palm oil. The earliest was introduced to the palm oil industry in the early 1960’s.
