During olive oil extraction the farmer will wait long time for his turn to extract his olive crop. This waiting timeleads to storing the crop which affects the quality of the obtained oil. Furthermore, small olive fruit are normally wasted in the heavy olive presses during the extraction cycle.
The majority of farmers in Palestine have small farms, thereto they collect a small quantity of olives and wish to extract their crop at the last day of harvest time in order to reduce time and cost.
The aim of this project is to design and manufacture a home olive press that solves the above mentioned problems. This press will enable the farmer to extract the daily collected olive crop at the same day of harvesting with less effort and cost.
Similar presses available will be investigated in this project, to fix the shortage problems in order to avoid them in this design. Afterwards, a new manufacture press will be designed. The last step is to examine the press and set it in operation experimentally.
