• Operation Mode: Continuous screw pressing; supports both cold (room temp, preserves nutrients) and hot (pre-heated seeds for higher yield) methods.
• Build & Design: Heavy-duty steel frame (anti-corrosion coated) with a simple structure for easy operation. Key components include a feeder hopper, gearbox, pressing cage, screw shaft, and machine stand. The cage opens on hinges for quick cleaning—no heavy lifting required.
• Ease of Use: User-friendly with minimal training needed (1–2 hours). Low noise (<80 dB) and vibration make it suitable for urban workshops. Pre-installed and ready-to-use upon delivery.
• Applications: Perfect for edible oil production (cooking oil), biofuels, cosmetics, or animal feed (cake byproduct). In Kenya, it's popular for sunflower and peanut oil amid rising demand (local production up 15% YoY per USDA 2025 report).
• Safety Features: Overload protection, emergency stop, and grounded electricals. No hazardous chemicals involved.
• Environmental Impact: Energy-efficient design reduces waste; cake can be repurposed as livestock feed or fertilizer, minimizing byproducts.
• Supported Seeds/Nuts: Peanuts, soybeans, rapeseed, cottonseeds, sesame, sunflower, olives, castor, flaxseed, shea nuts, palm kernels. Not ideal for very hard shells (pre-crush recommended).
• Output Quality: Produces virgin, cold-pressed oil (low acidity <2%, high smoke point); cake moisture ~8–10%.

Compared to hydraulic presses (batch-style, slower), the MOP75's screw mechanism allows non-stop operation, boosting productivity for 8–12 hour shifts.

Estimated Power Consumption:

The MOP75 is energy-efficient for its class, optimized for Kenya's grid (frequent outages):

• Full Load: 7.5–10 kW (motor rating); average draw 5–7 kW/hour during pressing.
• Daily Usage: 40–60 kWh for 8–10 hours (at 50% load); costs KSh 800–1,200/day (KSh 20/kWh rate).
• Efficiency Factors:
  • Idle: <1 kW (standby mode).
  • Peak: 10 kW startup (helical gears reduce surge by 20% vs. standard expellers).
  • Savings: Variable speed drive (optional, KSh 20,000) cuts 15–20% via load matching.
• Power Setup: 3-phase 380V/50Hz; single-phase adapter available (+KSh 5,000). Diesel motor option (10HP, KSh 50,000) for off-grid farms—uses 2–3 liters/hour fuel.
• Eco Note: 30% lower consumption than hydraulic presses; aligns with Kenya's renewable push (EPRA incentives for efficient machinery).
