Pemac - Solvent Extraction Plant
Solvent extraction stands as a cornerstone of modern edible oil processing. This highly efficient and reliable method utilizes solvents, with Hexane being the most common, to extract oil from various oilseeds and nuts.
Surpassing Traditional Methods:
Compared to mechanical expeller pressing, which typically yields 60-70% oil, solvent extraction boasts several advantages:
- Superior Oil Yield: Our solvent extraction plants achieve exceptional oil yields, exceeding 95%, maximizing your production output.
- Reduced Energy Consumption: The process requires less energy compared to pressing, lowering your operational costs.
- Minimal Maintenance:Solvent extraction plants are known for their reliability and require minimal maintenance, keeping your operations running smoothly.
Our solvent extraction plants leverage a meticulously designed, multi-stage process to ensure maximum oil extraction while minimizing solvent waste:
- Counter-current Flow Extraction: This technique optimizes solvent contact with the prepared raw material, leading to superior oil recovery rates.
- Desolventizing & Toasting: After extraction, the extracted meal undergoes a process to remove residual solvent and gently “toast” the meal. This preserves its nutritional value and stabilizes moisture and temperature for further processing.
- Distillation & Solvent Recovery: The miscella, containing the extracted oil and solvent, is distilled to separate the oil. Recovered solvent undergoes a purification process for reuse, minimizing waste and promoting environmental responsibility.
