Why not use a meat grinder? Not the home model, next size up or so, 
something that a local butchery would use to make mince meat. If 
there are still such things as local butcheries. that is. You might 
be able to adapt it without too much hassle. Maybe you could get one 
second-hand. There are some diagrams here of how a screw press works, 
quite clear, should help:

I think the problem is that a meat grinder, like a nut grinder, is
designed to chop up everything and push it out all together. There
are traditional systems used in many places that are similar, but the
oily mix after grinding is then wrapped up (in cloth, basket mat'l, etc)
and pressed under rocks or with a car jack to separate the oil.
Definitely a batch process that way. A continuous oil press needs
two very separate outlets for oil and cake. Not saying the grinders
couldn't be modified, but that's the nature of the modification you'd
have to do.

Yes, I agree. I was thinking the cake could come out the end, like 
the mince, and holes or slots or a screen or something or other could 
be provided in the body for the oil. It's not a regular screw, the 
pitch(?) shortens as it gets to the end to build up the pressure, so 
something like that might work. It would need some experimenting, by 
a cleverer person than me.

Re: [biofuel] Equipment Information

2002-06-11 Thread Harmon Seaver

   I've got a wheatgrass juicer that would probably work better than a meat
grinder. Mines a stainless steel manually cranked, about $80 or so. And it's got
a much longer tapered screw than meat grinders -- but I'd always thought you
needed much more pressure than that? But it's designed so the juice comes out a
hole in the side and the bulk comes out the end. It has a bolt in the end that
blocks the stuff, after it builds up you have to open that a bit to allow it to
escape -- whereas a meat grinder has a large end opening with plates with
various sized holes according to the grind desired, and normally you have to run
it thru the big holes first, then the little ones, so maybe you could modify
that end plate. 
Used to grind up a lot of moose and deer with ours, once upon a
time. Northern pike too, grind 'em up, bones and all, makes great fish cakes or
soup.
But anyway, I think the wheatgrass juicer is more what you'd want, if the
pressure is sufficient. Somehow I thought you'd need much, much more.

 bet the demand is higher than it was a few years ago. If I ran the

 emphasize the nut butter aspect, while also providing accessories

 Braun taking it on.
 
 In the meanwhile, I guess I have to build my own :-)

David

Uh-huh? Well, if you insist, but I said small, and that's what I 
meant. Ken's after a kitchen-size press and that might be miniscule, 
but I'd guess a lot of people would like one of those, as he says, 
including me. Not too useful for fuel production, but if you've got 
the seed anyway, nice to be able to crank out some fresh salad oil 
when you want it.

The emphasis of this group is small-scale - for backyarders making 
their own fuel, small farms, local coops: from our point of view, 
Third World rural village coops. That's Reinhard Henning's emphasis 
too, with the Sundhara press that will produce 15 litres an hour, 
three gallons (60-70 kg/hr). I'd say that's about the maximum of the 
useful range: that size and smaller, down to about 5kg/hr (Ken's 
other choice, for fuel). Most drivers use about 10 gallons a week. A 
local coop might want to make 30-50 gallons a day. If they want more 
than that they'd run two processors rather than scale it up, same 
with presses - get another one rather than a bigger one.

So, yes, small. If you think that's miniscule then you're the one 
who's out of step, you and probably Carlos - savoiapower's 125kg/hr 
Tiny Oil Mill is massive overkill for most of our purposes. The 
Sundhara weighs 40kg, the Tiny press 500kg, it probably costs 7-8 
times as much and can't be rigged by a local workshop. Industrial, as 
Jesse said, not small, certainly not Tiny.

The Komet line has one that'll give you the exercise you seek.

 Hand operated. Does about 10 lbs. Of seed per hour. Cost is about $1700 US
delivered to you. (quality never comes cheap). You can press oil out of darn
near anything with it - some of them are pretty high value oils
(nutraceutical/pharmaceutical). You could run that 1 litre car from VW for a

Happy cranking, think of the savings on gym memberships! You'll have
forearms  like Popeye in no time! Maybe we should offer it on TV, on the

showing how you can work the abs, the thighs...

No problem with the exercise, but the price is still pretty steep. I'm gonna
try to build a piston, cage and pressure cone after the Bielenberg design
(maybe even try to enlist his help...), and use a hydraulic jack to drive the
piston. I bet a little kit with just those three tricky parts (you supply your
own jack, lever, or whatever, and mounting brackets) could sell a couple
a year to crazy experimenters :-)

useful range: that size and smaller, down to about 5kg/hr (Ken's
other choice, for fuel). Most drivers use about 10 gallons a week. A
local coop might want to make 30-50 gallons a day. If they want more
than that they'd run two processors rather than scale it up, same
with presses - get another one rather than a bigger one.

So, yes, small. If you think that's miniscule then you're the one
who's out of step, you and probably Carlos - savoiapower's 125kg/hr
Tiny Oil Mill is massive overkill for most of our purposes. The
Sundhara weighs 40kg, the Tiny press 500kg, it probably costs 7-8
times as much and can't be rigged by a local workshop. Industrial, as
Jesse said, not small, certainly not Tiny.

Less than $200 would probably find buyers. Quality juicers are in that price

   It would really be nice to find some sort of screw mechanism tho, that you
 could get cheaply (maybe some mil-surplus gizmo?) and built a real screw
 press. I was going on the same track before trying to figure out a way to make
 pellets from biomass. The ram presses just don't make as good a pellet, don't
 know how they'd do for oil, maybe it wouldn't make any difference.
   Anyway, what I was last thinking was building a combo log splitter/pellet
 press. Engine driven, of course, not just a handpump jack. I need the log
 splitter anyway, so maybe just build it so you put different ends on the ram,
 etc. One of those could be for oilseed.

Hi,

You are right. But laboratory size expellers (Komet) are also very expensive, 
especially the repair parts.

Regard the Sundhara press. It has a capacity of about 60 - 70 kg seed per hour 
(15 l of oil) and costs about 2.000 US $. It is produced in Nepal, Tanzania and 
Mali. 

visit the Sundhara website at:

I'd prefer to think of the press I want as kitchen scale. There's
no engineering reason I can see for a small oil press to cost any
more than, say, an electric breadmaker, or the espresso machine
on my counter. Clearly, it's a matter of supply and demand, but I
bet the demand is higher than it was a few years ago. If I ran the
zoo, I'd market it to health-food fans in the US and Europe, and I'd
emphasize the nut butter aspect, while also providing accessories
(or just a different setting) for seeds. I can imagine someone like
Braun taking it on.

In the meanwhile, I guess I have to build my own :-)

  All I can see on that site is an expeller press that weighs 500 kg
  and processes 125 kg of seed per hour. My guess at the price is
  in the range of $15,000 USD. (I didn't see a price on the website).
  Maybe I'm not on the right page -- this is hardly tiny.

  How about one that  weighs 20 kg, processes 5 kg of seed per hour,
  and costs $300 USD?

I don't know what Carlos is talking about. He's seeing something that I'm
not. I goto this URL and all that's there are three green industrial
grinders. Not only are there no small presses, there are no prices, so what
is he talking about when he states not expensive?

Thanks Keith. My point exactly. Does anyone know where to buy a small
oilpress THAT HAS THE PRICES on the same page? I went out to that swedish
oilpress site, you know the one with the tractor and Volvo and what a mess
that was. Farmers and HTML do not mix.

YEAH! Ken's got the right idea. Does anyone within earshot of this email
know about any American makers of oil presses?

Questions concerning the conversion of car engines to run with plant oil you 
will find under 

http://www.jatropha.org/p-o-engines/conversion-cars.htm

To extract sunflower oil you can use manual presses or mechanical expellers. 
Examples of both you find at:

http://www.jatropha.org/expellers/index.html

and 

http://www.jatropha.org/extract.htm 

and
