Estudo e Avaliação de Máquinas Integradas e Automatizadas para Extração de Óleo Vegetal

Abstract

This dissertation proposes the development of an innovative machine, composed of integrated and automated modules, for extracting vegetable oil from seeds such as andiroba. The aim is to improve oil quality, reduce extraction time, eliminate slave labor, and increase productivity. The study covers processes from seed selection to centrifugation, including automated washing, crushing, and transportation, with temperature and humidity control. The proposal seeks to generate employment and income for rural communities while reducing contamination of the final product.
