Product type
Solvent extraction plants are industrial facilities designed to extract oil from various oilseeds and other plant materials using solvent-based methods. These plants typically utilize solvents like hexane to dissolve the oil, separating it from the solid components of the seeds. The process involves several stages, including seed preparation, extraction, and solvent recovery, ensuring maximum oil yield and purity.
| Processing capacity | 500 to 10,000 tons per day |
| Solvent type | Hexane or ethanol |
| Extraction efficiency | Up to 99% oil recovery |
| Plant layout | Batch or continuous processing |
| Automation level | Fully automated or semi-automated |
When selecting a solvent extraction plant, consider the type of oilseeds you plan to process and the desired output capacity. It's important to specify the extraction efficiency, automation level, and any specific certifications required for food safety. Additionally, provide details on the expected production volume and any particular environmental regulations that need to be met.
