Solvent extraction process - An Overview
Solvent extraction is the process of extracting oil from oil cake by making use of Hexane or other solvents. This process is implied after the preparatory section for the purpose of extracting oil from the expelled oil cake. Mectech, the leading company in solvent extraction and edible oil refining provides solvent extraction plant with latest technologies for high-quality output.
How Mectech’s Belt Type Horizontal Solvent Extractor works?
• Solvent extractor plant at Mectech includes a Distillation system, a Heat recovery system and a De-solvating Toaster.
• The extractor helps in removing solvent from the meal and stabilizes its temperature as well as the moisture.
• The solvent extractor is efficiently designed to achieve best results in terms of quality of DOC, quality of oil, hexane loss and consumption of utilities.
Solvent Extraction process at Mectech
The process of solvent extraction includes multiple sub-steps which involve seed preparation, conditioning of oil seed, flaking of oil seed etc.
• For extracting crude oil from the seed through the solvent, the seeds are first grinded and treated to bring them to their reduced form which enriches the surface area of seed for the absorption of solvent.
• The processed meal is further transferred to the solvent extractor plant for treating it with the hexane or any other solvent.
• The output of the process i.e. the solvents and the solids are further distilled and processed for extracting optimum oil and removing the solvent.
