Abstract

Indonesia possesses a remarkably diverse biodiversity that holds significant potential for enhancing the national economy. Among the traditional products commonly employed for medicinal purposes is candlenut oil. However, the current extraction process for candlenut oil relies on manual squeezing, following traditional methods. In order to enhance the productivity of small-scale candlenut oil producers, this study aims to develop a hydraulic press-based tool for extracting candlenut oil. The proposed press tool operates on the principle of utilizing pressure generated by a hydraulic jack. As pressure is applied and fluid flows from the hydraulic cylinder to the piston cylinder, the piston is pushed outward. The pressure from the hydraulic jack is transmitted through a connecting iron pipe attached to a threaded shaft, subsequently exerting pressure on the pressure plate to facilitate the pressing process for candlenut seeds. Based on data collection conducted five times to gather information with the weight of 2 kg of candlenuts, the average weight of the extracted candlenut oil was 864 g. The average time required for this process was 14.29 min (14 min and 29 s), and the average weight of the remaining candlenut residue was 1.135 g. The tool's test outcomes indicate that it can elevate candlenut oil production by 36.5%.
