  • Oil extraction processes - Jatropha Oil

    Hi all,

    Can anyone recommend the most efficient extraction process with regards to Jatropha Oil?

    Currently we are using a chinese built screw oil extractor, that extracts oil at 80kg/hour.

    We have adapted the hand operated press to be run with a belt drive using a 10HP engine.

    Ive been told there are things that can be done to maximise the oil yield from the extraction process, and reduce the oil content in the seedcake.

    Has anyone got any thoughts on this?

    What about steam extraction?
    Cheers,
