The home-use oil press is a compact oil extraction machine designed for producing fresh edible oil from seeds and nuts such as groundnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame, soybeans, and coconut. It typically consists of a feeding hopper, pressing screw, heating chamber, oil collection outlet, residue discharge outlet, and an electric motor housed within a compact frame. The machine is designed for household and small-scale use, offering a convenient and hygienic way to produce natural oil without the need for large industrial equipment.

In operation, clean and dry oil-bearing seeds are fed into the hopper where they are conveyed by the rotating screw into the pressing chamber. The combined action of heat and pressure extracts oil from the seeds, allowing it to flow through the oil outlet into a collection container, while the compressed residue is discharged separately. The operator monitors the feeding rate and temperature settings to ensure efficient extraction and consistent oil quality. After use, the machine is cleaned to maintain hygiene and ensure reliable performance.
