Volume and weight reduction ratio of coconuts when converted into coconut oil in the farm is quite significant.

~Coconut with husk/oil: 30:1 by volume

~Coconut with husk/oil: 10:1 by weight

~Coconut without husk/oil: 13:1 by volume

~Coconut without husk/oil: 6.4:1 by weight

Notes:

           The SIMPLEXTRACTOR Series was designed to process dried granulated coconut meat at a rate of more than 100 kilograms input per hour. To attain this rate, the machine needs more than 5 kw of power and a screw speed of about 100 revolutions per minute.            However, because of the limitations imposed by rural power sources (target user was originally rural household and backyard operations), a 3 hp, single-phase electric motor is supplied as standard prime mover. Because of the lower motive power, a corresponding lower screw speed is attainable, so a lower processing ability is to be expected.
           In places where sufficient power supply is available to accommodate a larger horsepower motor, higher processing speeds can be attained. Some installations use small, single cylinder, Kubota type diesel engines to run the expeller directly.
           The expelling capacity and efficiency of an expeller depends on many factors. The power supplied and screw speed are just two of these factors. Proper drying or dehydrating is another and probably the most important. Within only a certain range can retained moisture after drying prove beneficial in the expelling process.
           Particle size of the feed also has a significant effect, however. Feed material that is too coarse or too fine will dramatically affect both capacity and efficiency.
           All these factors must be considered and the right combination must be found if a desired residual oil content in the cake, a good quality oil and trouble free operation with a minimum of "foots" (materials which are forced between the expeller bars along with the oil) are to be the results.
          Data and specifications are based on the design status of June, 2006. We are always working on improvements and reserve the right to change design and specifications without notice.
