  • What is a palm oil screw press?
  • A palm oil screw press was designed, fabricated and evaluated for small and medium scale palm fruit processors in order to mechanize the extraction process and increase production output. The major components of the machine are standing frame, threaded shaft, speed reduction gear motor, driving & driven pulley and discharge outlet.
  • What is the output of a screw press?
  • The output from the screw press (liquid phase – crude palm oil, water; solid phase – mesocarp fibre, nuts, broken kernel, and shell) is fed to two subsequent isolated production lines, namely crude oil purification and kernel recovery .
  • How can screw press technology improve palm fruit oil extraction efficiency?
  • Palm fruit oil extraction is a difficult task to undertake. Screw press technology offers a solution to its extraction. However, most screw press available requires high power input for effective operation, thus affecting cost. Therefore, there is a need for improvement in order to limit cost and increase extraction efficiency.
  • How a palm oil mill works?
  • In conventional palm oil mill, the fruits, so called (MPD) mass passing to digester are digested at 90oC for about 20 min. For a 15 t throughput press, typical volume of the digester is about 3500 litres. During digestion, the oil-bearing cells are ruptured and this will facilitate oil extraction during pressing and clarification.
  • How much does a palm oil press cost?
  • The production cost of the press is $650 and it is powered by a three- phase 5hp electric motor. Index Terms: Design, extraction, fabrication, palm oil, screw press, fruit processors, efficiency
  • What is a screw press?
  • The concept of the screw press is to compress the fruit bunch between the main screw and travelling cones to extract the palm oil. Visual inspection, model development and simulation of screw press by using Solidworks 2016 and calculation of design properties were performed to support the investigation.
