dc.description	Coconut oil (also known as coconut butter) is extracted from coconuts and consists of over 80 percent saturated fat. It is typically used in cosmetics as well as in baking and cooking. The ram press was developed in Tanzania during the 1980s to extract oil from sunflower seed. The technology was taken up and flourished in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Mozambique and several other central and southern African countries. The press has been used to expel oil from other seeds (including sesame, niger and rapeseed) as well as dried coconut gratings from the traditional wet process carried out in Tanzania. The press can process around 4 kg per hour of dried gratings producing around 2.5 litres of oil.
