Abstract

This paper describes the crushing mechanism of oil seeds, analyses the forces involved and the performance of animal powered ghani used in oil extraction. Comparisons of the performances of animal powered ghani with electrical and diesel powered ghanies are made. There was no significant difference of oil recovery between the various methods of crushing. The oil yield was higher at the beginning than the subsequent operating times and it was reduced very sharply after 2 hours of crushing. The pulling force was increased with crushing time as well as with crushing load.
