  • How to extract oil from corn or maize germ?
  • The main methods to extract oil from corn or maize germ: Screw pressing and solvent extraction . “Screw Oil Pressing / Expelling” is the most used in small to medium scale corn oil manufacturing process. (At present, most corn oil companies or factories use screw pressing process, the oil yield is around 70%.)
  • How is corn germ extracted from the corn?
  • The first step of processing corn germ from wet milling or dry milling is to prepare the seed for oil removal. The seed is delivered clean, but additional cleaning with a magnet and screener may be done to remove any impurities or fines. For dry-milled germ, the seed is then conditioned, flaked, and sent to solvent extraction.
  • What is the oil production process of maize germ?
  • The oil production process of maize germ is similar to that of rice bran. Also must pay attention to reasonable storage, embryo processing, oil extraction and dewaxing of crude oil. The global corn oil market is unique in several ways. Corn oil is relatively cheaper than majority of other variety of vegetable oils.
  • What is the extraction rate of corn oil?
  • At present, most corn oil companies or factories use screw pressing process, the oil yield is around 65%~70%, while for large oil mills adopting solvent extraction technology, the corn germ oil extraction rate can reach 98%. Complete Corn Oil Extraction Process (Solvent Extraction)
  • What equipment is used for processing corn germ?
  • Corn germ is processed using the Model III Extractor. The design of the equipment varies to optimize the amount of solvent and bed depth needed, the contact time of the solvent and flakes, and the power and utilities needed to run the equipment for efficient corn germ washing.
