  • How to process shea nut kernels?
  • For processing Shea nut kernels, we need a combination of mechanical pressing unit ( Oil Mill ) and solvent extraction plant (SEP). The following are steps involved in Shea Butter Extraction Plant : Shea nut kernels are separated and cleaned to remove impurities such as dust, metal, plant stalks.
  • What is a shea nut roaster?
  • This is the machine where the fresh shea nut is roasted ( Fig. 3) using the heat generated from the firewood. It consists of three chambers: the rotary roaster containing the fresh fruits, the basement housing the heating medium i.e., heat from firewood and the insulator to prevents/controls heat loss.
  • How to roast shea nuts?
  • Optimum roasting time and temperature are very necessary factors considered during roasting. In the processing of the shea nuts, rural women from the north of Ghana, roast their shea nuts using open fire sources (i.e., unenclosed boundary).
  • What are the steps involved in shea butter extraction plant?
  • The following are steps involved in Shea Butter Extraction Plant : Shea nut kernels are separated and cleaned to remove impurities such as dust, metal, plant stalks. The cleaning process can reduce equipment friction, ensure safe operation, reduce butter loss, improve life of wear parts, increase yield and improve butter and meal quality.
  • How are shea nuts processed in Ghana?
  • In the processing of the shea nuts, rural women from the north of Ghana, roast their shea nuts using open fire sources (i.e., unenclosed boundary). This practice comes with critical safety issues such as burns on the skin and uncontrolled heating rate which can bring about charring of the nuts prior to oil extraction.
  • Which country produces the most shea butter?
  • The largest shea butter-producing countries are Ghana, Nigeria and Uganda (Northern part). GOYUM is committed to the research and development of oil mill machine and complete oil mill projects.
