After much deliberation, Chen Suwen decided to press peanut oil first, even though she didn't really like the taste of peanut oil, but cooked peanut oil was still acceptable.
Peanuts have a high oil yield, and Chen Suwen didn't want to give away ten pounds of peanuts, so she only pressed two pounds of oil.
It's possible, it's less than two pounds.
So let's press some peanuts first and solve their oil shortage problem first.
Finally, Chen Suwen secretly used her wood-based supernatural ability to grow 10 jin of peanuts, and had Zhou Qingyun take them to the factory to extract oil using the home-made oil press he made.
When Zhou Qingyun arrived at the machinery factory with a small cloth bag and peanuts, the factory leaders came over to wait for him with interest.
"Master Zhou, I heard you made your own oil press? A small one at that?"
Zhou Qingyun was somewhat surprised to see the two factory managers come to find him. Although the home-use oil press was indeed a novelty, it was something that couldn't be widely adopted.
Who else can press oil themselves using electricity like his family?
There was neither electricity nor materials for pressing oil.
Moreover, the price of a single machine is certainly not cheap.
For many people, this thing is just a useless item.
Zhou Qingyun didn't think that the home-use oil press he made had any other benefits besides making it convenient for his family to press oil. He didn't understand why the two factory managers had also come to join in the fun.
"Come, come, Master Zhou, let's see how this oil press works." Factory manager Qin Geming was very excited and grabbed Zhou Qingyun's arm, urging him to quickly take a look at the machine.
In just a few days, Zhou Qingyun managed to create such a fully functional and compact oil press in his spare time, which truly surprised him.
He was eager to know if the oil press was any good and whether it could improve the oil yield.
The oil yield depends on the raw materials, but also on the oil extraction equipment.
Many oil mills nowadays have substandard oil pressing equipment, resulting in consistently low oil yields.
Qin Geming was eagerly anticipating whether Zhou Qingyun's oil press could actually increase the oil yield.
Zhou Qingyun didn't stand on ceremony. Since the factory director Qin Geming and the deputy factory director Song Fengnian were interested, they helped with the work.
Plug the oil press into the socket and connect it to the power source. Turn on the switch to preheat. Once preheated, pour the peanuts you brought into the machine hopper and transfer them into the machine.
The peanuts Zhou Qingyun brought were all shelled, just whole peanut kernels.
The peanut kernels were fed into the machine, and Zhou Qingyun pressed the crushing button.
After the peanuts are crushed, stir-fry them until they are half-oiled, then press the oil pressing button.
Because this is a home-use oil press, the maximum amount of raw material that can be pressed at one time is less than 20 jin (10 catties), so there is no need to separate other machines for each step.
The all-in-one machine can be used for operation.
After a series of operations, in less than an hour, ten pounds of peanuts slowly produced oil.
Zhou Qingyun took out the oil can he had brought and filled it with oil. The oil can he brought had a capacity of ten jin.
The peanut oil slowly flowed out of the machine and fell into the oil tank. In the end, the ten pounds of peanuts yielded a total of about 6.5 pounds of peanut oil.
