Parts of Oil Expeller

PARTS OF OIL EXPELLER:
Oil expeller consists of various parts. It mainly consists of Body, Hopper, bed, Main shaft, Gears, Worms,
Bearing, Barrel, Cone and Collar and a Cutter. The gear assembly is provided with the screw shaft in the cage.
The following are the parts which are included in the construction of an oil expeller machine.
a. Body
the body provides the casing to the parts of an oil expeller machine. It is made of the highly closed grained
casting to ensure continued service without any vibration and accurately.
b. Hopper
The hopper is used for feeding the raw materials for extracting the oil from it. It is directly over the grinder
and maintains the flow of oil seeds during the operation.
c. Bed
The bed is provided for support to the structure of oil expeller machine. The structure is made of the steel.
This ensures the better alignment and balancing to the parts of the oil expeller machine. The bed is provided
with good vibration absorbing mechanism so that with stand with loading capacity.
d. Main Shaft
It is main part of expeller. It carries and support to worm gear, cone, collar, cutter, gear etc.
e. Gears
The gears and pinions of oil expeller are manufactured from alloy steel to ensure smooth running of gears.
Induction and oil quenching hardness is given to gears for long life. The gears are fitted in oil bath case for
smooth running.
f. Worms
The most essential part of modern oil milling is the shape, design and material construction of pressing
worms.
g. Bearing
All imported heavy duty bearings, taper bearings, roller bearings and thrust bearing etc.
h. Barrel
The barrel is means for providing the cage structure to the oil expeller. It is made from the mild steel with
assembly of tempered cage bars and frames.
i. Cone and Collar
Cone is placed at the end of extraction of oil on the main shaft. It is mainly use for maintaining cake thickness.
Collar has placed after the cone.
j. Cutter
Cutter has placed after cone and collar. It is use for cutting the cake.
[1] M. Zamanzadeh et.al: presented the different failures analysis methods and the materials selection for oil
expellers. In this research paper various subsets of the design materials are taken into consideration applicable to
the study. This study includes mainly on the failures in the, paints and coatings, plastics and electronics, as well
as failure caused by corrosion and principles of root cause determination within that particular field.
[2] S Sreenatha Reddy et.al: developed the mini model of the oil expeller screw shaft and finding out the effect
with variation of compression ratio of oil chamber along with speed of screw shaft. The experimentation is carried
out with Pongamia and Jatropha seeds and the compression ratio is maintained at 14:1 to 21.5:1 with alternating
speed of shaft between 35 to 654 RPM. The results of the study concluded that the compression ratios have
significant impact on the performances of oil expeller screw.
[3] A. Ibrahim et.al: carried out the review on the different technologies for oil extraction from agricultural
product. The presented study included the used of different techniques for pre-processing conditions including
the removal of hulls and shells, pre-processing conditioning such as size reduction, moisture content adjustment,
heat treatment and pressure application, as well as the methods employed in the extraction, namely; traditional
and modern (improved) methods discussed in this paper.
[4] Adesoji M. Olaniyan et.al: designed, a oil expeller screw press and tested with extraction of oil in palm
kernel and soybean. The expeller is powered with 15 Hp three phase motor. The average extraction efficiency of
13.48 and 22.79 % obtained with designed expeller screw. The results concluded that the mini expeller can be
useful in production of oil for soybean and palm extraction for community.
[5] Aremu A. K et.al: presented the design of an oil expeller machine for kenaf. The designed machine having
the capacity of 36.5 Kg/hr and capable to extracted oil efficiency up to 62.2 %.The designed machine is provided
with the best lubrication and easily maintained.
[6] Deli S et.al: carried out the research study effects of physical parameters in screw press machine. In this study
Sativa seeds were studied using a KOMET Screw Oil Expeller. The study is carried out with different sizes of
nozzle and at the different speed of shaft, also the different diameter of the shaft is taken into consideration for
the study. It is found that the shaft diameter with 8mm shows low yields output but the diameter of shaft 11 mm
with speed of 65 RPM shows the good performance. The nozzle size of 12 mm recorded the same percentages of
yields. The most of results obtained are varying with the changes in the physical parameters, the optimum
conditions of parameters recorded 22.27 % oil yields with 8mm diameter and 19.05% with 11mm diameter of
expeller shaft.
[7] Amruthraj M et.al: carried out the research work on the design of twin screw oil expeller from extracting
the oil from pongamia pinnata seeds. In this paper, a counter rotating twin screw expeller is designed for extraction
of oil from the Pongamia pinnata seeds. This paper focuses on comparison between the twin screw and single
screw press technology based on both technical and economical appraisals, study is been carried out on how twin-
screw technology is better compared to single screw.
[8] Mehul.K. Modh et.al: presented the thrust ball bearing analysis in the oil expeller. The thrust bearing are
designed with analytical treatment and then Pro-E software. The analysis of bearing are conducted for calculating
the life of existing bearing using the ANSYS software and finally results are concluded with comparison between
the analytical and computational study. The analysis results the Principle stress, Principle strain and axial
deformation found to be reduced.
[9] Shankar Haldar et.al: presented the research study on the information about the oil expellers including the
availability of raw materials. This study mainly emphasis on the different issues related with used o oil; expeller
its design feature and process and the developing the site for oil expeller industries.
[10] V. S. Khangar et.al: addressed the different techniques in failures analysis of shat used in oil expeller. Roll
shaft failure can be prevented primarily by introduction of better material design optimization & by using correct
manufacturing processes. The comparison of the different methodology used; their application & limitation
presented for concluding the results.
