Good day nairalanders how do I determine the actual electric motor that will match my oil extruder that was fabricated for me.
How is th calculation made,how can I determine the HP of the electric motor that will be suitable for the oil extruder,pls I need you advice

what type of oil seed or nut does the oil extruder extract
what capacity is the oil extruder
if u have picture of the extruder let's see with that I can tell which electric motor HP its can use

Thanks for you response, it was fabricated locally and I don't know the capacity however I will post the picture as requested am asking because of the capacity.
It is for palm kernel

Ok
If its for palm kernel oil
the smallest capacity you can use 30 HP
like the ones for 4 tons capacity and above can use
40hp or 50hp
But 50hp is better
10 tons capacity better use 100hp
