There are two options for using liquid biofuel: vegetable oil or the transesterificated form, biodiesel. The chemical processing of biodiesel from vegetable oil is highly energy consuming and therefore is not a suitable option for farmers. The aim of this study was to investigate, analyze and provide explanations about the issues concerning the selection of productions appliances that are the best for local oil manufacturing in order to ensure the production of high-quality plant-oil and press-cake. To address the above issues large quantities of technical data were processed and analysed. The technology aspects of the use of plant-oil as fuel have been taken care of. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
