SOLVENT EXTRACTION PLANT

INGLÉS

The purpose of solvent extraction is to extract the oil from oil bearing materials by means
of solvent - a petroleum by-product. Solvent extraction plant, however, is the one of the
most modern methods of recovery of oil from oil bearing materials at very low
temperature under vacuum to produce excellent quality of oil.

SOLVENT EXTRACTION PLANT

Soya Bean Seed Solvent Extraction Plant

Soya bean seeds usually contain 16 to 18% oil. Instead of mechanical
pressing, we get soybean oil by extracting it from solvent extraction
plant.
At first, soya bean seed should be fully prepared. Soya bean seeds need
cleaning, destoning, cracking, husk separating (if necessary), cooking,
flaking, expanding and drying. Then the prepared expanded soya flakes are sent for solvent
extraction. Solvent extraction is carried out in the normal fashion.

Sunflower Seed Solvent Extraction Plant

Sunflower oil is the most widely used oil due to its high linoleic content
which is considered nutritionally positive. The kernel accounts for 70% of
the seed and the oil content is about 40%-45% in the seeds.
Sunflower seeds are first subjected to decortication to obtain high
protein meal, the decorticated sunflower seeds are subjected to
mechanical extraction. There are usually two methods that used in the
sunflower seed solvent extraction. In one method only pre-pressing is carried out leaving
18 to 20% as residual oil in the pre-pressed cake. In the second method full pressing is
carried out in screw presses leaving 10 to 12% residual oil in the fully pressed cake. For
recovery of residual left over oil in the cake, the cake is subjected to solvent extraction
process.
Refined Sunflower Oil is mainly used as food oil and in the manufacture of margarine.The
meal is highly appreciated due to its high protein content (45-50%) as animal feed,
especially for large breeding of poultry.

Corn Solvent Extraction Plant

Corn/Maize is an important cereal in western countries. It has
around 40-42% oil content.
Corn oil and corn meal can both be obtained from corn. The
extracted meal is also very useful.It is suitable for making
enhanced animal feed rations, snack food, blended food
products, cosmetics, and fermentation broth additive,
especially being used as a component for animal feed (20%
protein content).

Peanuts /Groundnut Solvent Extraction Plant

Peanut Oil is low in saturated fatty acids and rich in mono saturated
fatty acids, thus making it a healthier option. The kernels have an oil
content in excess of 48%.
Peanuts oil is often extracted using a solvent like hexane, while
aromatic oils are extracted with various methods including steam
distillation and the traditional cold pressing method. In all of these
options, the goal of extraction is to produce a pure oil free from
contaminants and traces of the original plant material.
