Extraction
in the edible oil refinery comprises numerous processes. Inside the solvent
extractor, solids comprising flakes from
the flaking machines or cakes from the pre-presses) are moved through the
conveyor equipment, and while a mixture
of hexane and oil (miscella) is positioned to
spray during the movement. This leads to the production
of deoiled solids containing
solvent and miscella in the extractor .
Usually extraction requires additional steps compared to others in case the solvent needs recycling.
As the leading player in offering 360o solutions to the edible
oil industry, Mectech offers innovation for total customized solutions.
THE
MECTECH ADVANTAGE
❖
The customized belt type horizontal extractor,
desolventizing toaster, distillation system and heat recovery system have
extremely high efficiency and ensure
the best of performance in terms of quality of oil, quality of DOC. The
consumption of inputs as well as the amount of
hexane loss is also minimal
❖ Requires
Minimum field interruption
❖
Scheduling compression
❖
Finest recovery rates
Distillation:
Distillation System acts efficiently to separating mixture and is versatile enough to
utilized in numerous types of
applications. It is entirely a physical process for separation and hence is
more eco friendly. The process itself depends
entirely on the differential
boiling points in the miscible
fluids and the one with very low boiling
point is best suited as vapors will be richer.In physical
refining, the fatty acids are removed by steam distillation -a process called
stripping process that closely resembles deodorisation. The low volatility of
fatty acids (depending upon chain length) makes higher temperatures a prerequisite in physical refining as compared to that
required for deodorisation.
Usually, a maximum temperature of
240-250°C sufficiently reduces the free fatty acid content to nearly 0.05-0.1 percent.
