Gram Swaraj Oil Expeller

Gram Swaraj Oil Expeller

During 1996-97 Sahabhagi Vikash Abhiyan (S.V.A.) distributed few sets of manual oil expellers known as Gram Swaraj Oil Expeller to a few voluntary organizations in Kalahandi, Bargarh, Balangir and Nuapada districts for demonstration purpose. The villagers in west Orissa have found this expeller to be very useful, economic and most convenient. Looking at the demand from the villagers S.V.A. has decided to do marketing of it in large numbers and we hope all the voluntary organizations working for community based Natural Resource Management, shall promote it in their area of operation.

Details of the Gram Swaraj Oil Expeller:

• Using this expeller any oil seed such as Mahua seed (Tol), sesame, Mustard, Neem, Karanj, Castor, Groundnut, Sunflower, Niger Safflower etc. can be expelled.

• Percentage of oil extraction is same or more here than the mechanized oil expeller.

• Only two persons are required to operate it. It can be installed in a small veranda of 6ft*6ft and 8ft height.

• In one day (8 hours) about 350 kilogram of oil seed can be expelled.

• The oil derived from this expeller is filtered and cleaner than the oil derived in mechanized expeller.

• Each oil expeller will be able to provide meaningful employment to three persons. 

• The villagers who have been using it are so much impressed by it that now there is a demand from almost all the nearby villages.
