The extraction plant comprises of Extraction, De-solventizer Toaster, a Distillation System and a Solvent recovery system. The extractor enables extraction of the oil from the cake, Distillation system enables to separate oil from miscella, Recovery group recovers the evaporated hexane, Desolventizer evaporates the hexane from de-oiled cake and toasts the meal to maintain inherent nutrients, and stabilizes its moisture as well as temperature. This equipment’s are efficiently designed to achieve the best of performance in terms of quality of oil, quality of DOC, consumption of utilities and hexane loss.
Solvent extraction is a multi level process used to extract oil from the oil seeds / oil cakes by use of a solvent. Post milling, the meal is ready, which means that the seed has been improved to a form which enhances its surface area for solvent absorption. This meal is transferred to the extractor, where it comes in contact with hexane (solvent). The de-oiled meal and miscella are the outputs which are further processed and distilled for optimum extraction of oil and solvent removal.
