description The need for new designs of oil expeller is base on the cost and efficiency of the machine especially for the usage in small and medium size industries. It has to be cost effective and light weight to accommodate such demands. The existing oil expellers in the market are too big and too expensive for these small medium size businesses to invest on. Other limitations are its maintenances aspect as well as its operations. Therefore series of survey and interviews will be done to identify the needs and base on that the Final Design Specifications can be synthesize.
