Things You Should Know Before Setting Up an Edible Oil Processing Plant

Edible oil manufacturing is the first procedure in the oil mill plant. Cooking oils and fats are taken out from respective original seeds and nuts employing a wide variety of different ways. But, some of the oil is directly obtained from the plant fruits, such as palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil and more. These vegetable oils usually adopts mechanical oil pressing method or cold pressing method. And the vegetable oil manufacturing process is relatively simple and don’t require further process. But, for a good number of cooking oils, the operation is even more complicated. Present day’s oil manufacturing mills get oil by using a collaboration of processes, including cleaning, cooking, pressing, or prepressing and solvent extraction, and oil refining. Surely, different plant seeds may have a little different in the actual oil manufacturing process, but, the whole process is now the most advanced and mature oil extraction techniques.

Before starting edible oil processing, the oilseeds is cleaned out and dried out, and the obstacles and moisture is taken out, which prepares the best conditions for oil manufacturing. Mashing used to be done between professional equipment that later became flakes. Plant seeds that is of higher oil content are usually mechanically extracted in oil press machine after a preheating stage in cooking machines. Although the preparing process plays a key role in the vegetable oil manufacturing process, the oil pressing process is also very important. And choosing a high quality and reliable edible oil press machine have much influences on the oil extracting yield.

In addition to use the oil press machine that is relative small and widely used in mini or small size oil mill plant. The solvent extraction method is another popular technology for vegetable oil manufacturing plant, especially for medium scale or large scale type. The main point is employed the solvent to extraction oil from the raw materials. Oil extraction method with solvent can ensure the oil is extracted out totally, and the oil residual rate is relatively low, but the investment cost is relatively high and the operation requirements is relatively strict. After counter current extraction process, the extracted oil and solvent is mixed and will be separated by distillation process. After that, the solvent can reused for next oil processing and the crude oil is transported to the oil refining section to remove the unhealthy and useless substances to get the high standard or high grade refined vegetable oil. The oil cake after oil extraction is great raw materials for poultry feed production.

How Coconut Oil Has Been Extracted

There are several methods of extracting oil from coconut, known as copra. In general, there are three main types of coconut extraction: centrifuge extraction, expeller processing and cold-pressing. Centrifugally Extracted Coconut - A machine spins chopped coconuts around, using centrifugal force to separate the oil from kernel. The final product does not require processing or further refining. It can be eaten straight off the spoon. Aside from its light, pleasurable taste, it is also considered raw as it retains all the nutrients of the coconut. These make centrifugally-extracted pricier than others. Expeller processing - This process uses an oil extraction machine to separate the oil from the kernel. It heats the coconut, typically at 210 degrees or more but never beyond 400 degrees (which is the temperature used in refining). Then, the heated kernel is crushed using mechanics and expeller-pressing , squeezing the oil out of the roughage. It does not rely on chemicals for the e...
