LATE BYZANTIUM PERIOD

The ‘improved wooden screw grinding mill’ system is a very particular sample which was used during the advanced Byzantium and early Ottoman era.

This was the most improved transmission system and used for centuries until the 17th century, the beginnig of early industrial era.

The next important progression was the use of ‘swirl wooden press’.

Besides the worm-screw was used as a single-centered mechanism,in this era it was also used to calibrate the height of the both levers of the wooden press. The swirl wooden system working connected  to the wooden-press, promoted the performance of the squeeze. With the help of fixing and locking ability, oil extraction became more efficient and needed less effort.
