| Abstract: | A motorized hydraulically operated palm oil press was designed, constructed, and tested. The basic features of the palm oil press are the frame, hydraulic ram, hydraulic pump, a 2-way valve, electric motor, cage, collector, sprout, pressing plate, pressure hoses, and hydraulic tank. This machine was aimed at easing the pain, stress, intensive labor, and time consumption encountered in the existing palm oil pressing processes. The machine has a capacity of 330.96 KN/m2 . Average pressing time of 4.35 minutes was achieved for three palm oil pressing test carried out. The hydraulic pressure extracted oil from the digested fruit with less labor or drudgery |
