  • 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 groundnut oil extraction?
  • Groundnut oil extraction involves removing oil content of the groundnut seed. Study conducted in Northern Nigeria revealed that 75% of the rural women engaged in groundnut oil extraction used the traditional method despite the drudgery and inefficiency involved.‌
  • 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.‌
  • How does a groundnut machine work?
  • The groundnut seeds were pre-heated by roasting before extraction of the oil in it. The machine gave a better performance at the speed of 60 revolutions per minute and improvement in the design can be achieved by incorporation a heating chamber along the expeller barrel.‌
  • How to remove oil from groundnut seed?
  • To remove the oil content from the groundnut seed, the process known as oil extraction, expelling or expressing is carried out.‌
  • What is groundnut oil expeller?
  • Groundnut oil expeller has been developed and constructed by some researchers in different sizes, shapes and materials, mostly for industrial uses. Such expellers are expensive, involve high level technology which cannot be afforded by small scale and low income oil millers.
