I apologize for any confusion earlier. It appears that “quill worm” is a specific term used in the context of certain oil expellers. A “quill worm” is essentially a type of screw or worm component used in oil expeller machines. It plays a crucial role in the oil extraction process.
Here’s an overview of the “quill worm” in an oil expeller:
- Design: The quill worm is a specialized screw-like component with a helical thread on its surface. This design allows it to push and compress oil-bearing seeds or nuts as it rotates.
- Feeding Mechanism: Oil-bearing material, such as seeds or nuts, is fed into the oil expeller’s hopper.
- Compression and Extraction: As the quill worm rotates, it exerts continuous pressure on the material, compressing it. This compression action crushes the seeds or nuts and generates heat, facilitating the separation of oil from solids.
- Oil Separation: The compressed and heated material is forced through progressively narrower gaps between the quill worm and the press cage or barrel. The intense pressure causes the oil to separate from the solid residue.
- Oil Collection: The extracted oil flows out through small openings in the press cage or barrel, and it is collected in a separate container. It may go through filtration or additional processing steps to remove impurities.
- Continuous Process: The quill worm continues to rotate, ensuring a consistent and efficient extraction process. The oil extraction process continues until most of the oil has been separated from the solid material.
The term “quill worm” may be specific to certain types or brands of oil expellers, so the design and characteristics of the quill worm can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific model of the oil expeller. It serves the same fundamental purpose as the pressing worm in an oil expeller: the efficient extraction of oil from seeds, nuts, or other oil-rich materials.
