  • 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.
  • Who is the largest Shea Nut processor in Ghana?
  • Since 2006, GSFIL has grown to become the largest processor of shea nuts in Ghana, manufacturing shea oils and butter. With a processing capability of upwards of 25,000 tonnes a year, making it the biggest shea nut processor in Ghana.
  • How is shea butter processed?
  • Shea butter processing is a seasonal affair. Fruiting and gathering of shea nuts occur between May and August each year. In this stage, shea nuts are processed into kernel form. Both raw and ripe fruits are green but ripe fruit is occasionally yellowish and soft when felt.
  • 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.
  • What is the mechanical press method of shea butter extraction?
  • The mechanical press method of shea butter extraction has been reported by FAO and CFC (2002) but one of the earliest research on the use of the mechanical press was by Marchand (1988). His research revealed that equipped with a jack that exerts 30 tonnes of force, a shea butter press could crush more than 3 kg of shea kernels within 20 minutes.
  • 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.
