ABSTRACT
The goal of this study is to improve the extraction procedures for palm oil by presenting the design of a novel vertical digester. In order to make it easier to extract oil from palm fruits, the digester is essential to the process.
The construction of the vertical digester involves intricate engineering factors, like the choice of materials according to their endurance and cost. The analysis looks at the costs associated with several material possibilities to make sure the materials used balance operational efficacy with economic viability.
Furthermore, technical approaches that emphasize cost-effectiveness without sacrificing the digester's structural integrity and functionality are incorporated into the construction process. This entails maximizing manufacturing costs and material waste reduction while optimizing the design for effective oil extraction.
The cost analysis takes into account production, assembly, and maintenance expenses in addition to material costs. The study sheds light on the manufactured digester screw press's economic feasibility by accounting for all lifespan costs.
This study adds to the continuous endeavours within the palm oil sector to optimize productivity while upholding cost-effectiveness. The research results provide significant perspectives for engineers, manufacturers, and other relevant parties engaged in the creation and application of palm oil extraction machinery, promoting technological progress that is financially viable.
