A Prototype Small Scale Copra Oil Expeller Machine: A Model
Keywords:
Prototype, Scale, Copra Oil, Expeller MachineAbstract
This study attempted to design and develop a Prototype Small-Scale CopraOil Expeller Machine. The study was both descriptive and developmental, since the process involved investigating, recording, analyzing, and interpretation of data based on the data collected from the groups of respondents. This also included the feasibility of constructing the prototype small-scale copra oil expeller machine. The market demandof the said machine was also established through the responses of 163 respondents withan average Weighted Mean of 3.49 with a descriptive value of Necessary. It was observed that the machine could extract oil from copra through pressing mechanisms consisting of two solid rollers powered by a 2 horsepower motor. It is technically feasible to develop and construct a prototype small-scale copra oil expeller machinedis playing the following characteristics: it has a strong frame to with stand excessive pressure when load is applied. It has a powerful two horsepower capacity to effectively drive the pressers. It has a powerful 1 horsepower motor capacity to crush the raw material. Efficient enough to extract unrefined oil from dried copra with an average volume of oil yield at the rate of .300 liter per kilo of dried copra of good quality. It hasthe milling capacity range from 2 to 3 kilos of dried copra per hour with an approximate volume of oil recovery of .900 liters. Can accommodate only a definite size of copra.2cm. wide and 1 cm. long for convenient and efficient milling. Beyond or more than the stipulated size, the crusher could no longer perform well.
