Capacity and Oil Recovery
What size machine do I need for a target number of litres per day?
Direct Answer
Convert the daily oil target into required seed input using measured saleable yield and oil density, then divide by effective pressing hours. Add reasonable capacity for interruptions and growth.
Detailed Engineering Analysis
For example, assume a 100-litre target, an oil density of 0.92 kg/litre and a 30% saleable yield by seed weight. You would need about 307 kg of seed; over eight pressing hours, that requires roughly 38.4 kg/hour. All three assumptions are illustrative. Replace them with data for your oil, process and working schedule. Share the calculation with MMEC and confirm that filtration and packing can handle the same daily volume.
