The global energy demand is currently met by the use of non-renewable fossil fuels. The
challenges of non-availability of these fuels in the future, instability in prices of crude oil and …

The production and physicochemical characterization of high quality biodiesel from the from
safflower seed oil extracted by different extraction methods was studied. The oil extraction …

An experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of the processing of the
raw materials, such as preparation and extraction, grating (whole and grated), drying and …

Mechanical pressing of oilseeds is the most widely used method for oil expression in the
world. However, the mechanical oil expellers (screw presses) employed for this purpose …

When bulk viscoelastic particulate materials are constrained, individual particles will move
and deform as an applied load is redistributed among the particles. Discrete element …

The influence of pressure, temperature and moisture content on the oil yield and rate of
conventional hydraulic expression of sesame and linseed is discussed as well as the …

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of moisture content, cooking
temperature, and cooking time on the yield of oil mechanically expressed from Jatropha …

This work studies oil seeds mechanical expression in a screw press. For this purpose, a pilot-
scale screw press (0–40 kg/h) was instrumented by installing sixteen pressure sensors and …

A finite element method (FEM) model was used to describe the mechanical behaviour of
Jatropha curcas L. seeds under linear compression loading. Computer simulations which …

The effects of physical parameters of a screw press machine on oil yield of N. sativa seeds
were studied using a KOMET Screw Oil Expeller. Different nozzle size (6, 10, and 12 mm) …
