oil solvent extraction Project 1


oil solvent extraction


Capacity: 10t/D-1000t/D

Project Site: South Africa

Raw Material: Soy Protein

Main Production Process: Soy Protein Plant

Solvent extraction plant selects certain organic solvent usually commercial hexane to dissolve oil content in cake or vegetable seeds after close contact with feeding material (by dipping or spraying). After that oil is separated by vaporizing solvent which boiling point is far below the oil. Solvent is then condensed and recycled to next oil resolving process.

Solvent extractor is the key apparatus in this plant. We have different shapes such as carrousel, loop, rectangular drag chain etc. to cope with different feedstock and capacities. Negative pressure evaporation of solvent is recommended for plants of 150t/d above.
