Solvent Extraction, as the name suggests is a process to extract the oil from oil bearing materials by means of Solvent, Solvent used being normal Hexane – a petroleum by-product.
Solvent extraction refers to the process of extracting oil from oil bearing materials by means of solvent. Solvent always use a petroleum by-product, usually Hexane. Solvent extraction plant, however, is one of the most important oil plants in the entire oilseed processing.
The solvent extraction plant is part of vegetable oil processing plant which is designed to extract oil directly from oil seed containing less than 20% oil like soyabean fter flaking or it extracts oils from prepressed or fully pressed cake of seeds containing more than 20% oil like sunflower, peanuts, cotton seed, palm kernel, canola, copra, castor and variety of other materials.
In order to meet different clients’ requirement on different solvent extraction plants, we established a large scope of solvent extraction equipments with capacity from 300kg to 100MT. The oil grade after refined can reach to Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 & Grade 4 Oil etc.
There’re two refining technologies in oil refinery plant, one is batch, the other is continuous. Normally we adopt batch type when the capacity is less than 20MTPD, otherwise, we adopt semi-continuous or continuous technology.
The latest refining equipment consists of many single units and has the heating system itself which save energy without using boiler. This equipment occupies less area and funds, furthermore, it has more functions and can be used to produce Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 & Grade 4 Oil etc..It’s an ideal equipment for clients.
Edible Oil Solvent Extraction Plant Application
Solvent extraction fits for pre-press extraction of high-oil-content materials like sesame seeds and second time extraction of oil cake produced by low-oil-content materials like soybeans.
Unique Features of Edible Oil Solvent Extraction Plant
