Expeller properties Well dried and deshelled groundnuts are expelled including the thin seedcoat. The whole seeds enter slowly into the screw. This is the reason of the low oil yield per hour. Bridge formation within the funnel may occur. Push with a little stick . Remove all stones before expelling. Turn crank calmly at about 45 rounds per minute. Clean oil outlet regularly.
