Vegetable oil extractor: what is this and why is it used
Extraction is a popular way to extract vegetable oil. This method allows increasing the yield of the product. Extractors are a universal type of equipment used in production process. The extraction method of oil production can be used both in its pure form and in combination with mechanical pressing, which will allow you to get even more product. Vegetable oil extractors Extraction is the process of transferring oil from an oil-containing material to a solvent by means of molecular and convective diffusion. Continuous extraction is the main method for the degreasing of oilseeds. During the extraction process, the solvent can move either towards the raw material or in the same direction as it. In the first case, the process is called countercurrent, and in the second – forward flow. Extractor operation principle The entire extraction process includes 4 main steps: Continuous methods are used to extract oil from raw materials. […]
