Abstract

Mechanical analysis was done for the animal driven rural oil expellers. The result obtained from force analysis was used to estimate the various forces involved in crushing process. For the mustard seed, the oil extraction pattern at different batch and moisture content were determined. Physical properties of different varieties of mustard seed were determined and correlated with optimum moisture added during crushing. The optimum percentage of water added prior to crushing was found to be the functions of initial moisture content of seed, moisture added for maximum angle of repose and maximum bulking.
