• What is solvent extraction?
  • Solvent extraction is a counter-current extraction process for extracting crude edible oil from oilseeds and oil cake using solvent, with Hexane. Hexane-based processes is popular for maximizing oil yield in excess of 95% with a solvent recovery of over 95% which in compare to 60 to 70% oil yield by mechanical expeller pressing.
  • Which process is most efficient for extracting crude oil from oilseeds?
  • Thus Solvent extraction process is the most efficient process for extracting crude edible oil from oilseeds. Spectec Techno Projects Pvt. Ltd, can provide a complete Continuous Solvent Extraction Plant for the capacity ranges from 50 TPD TO 2000 TPD. Preparation is the process of properly preparing seeds for extraction of oil.
  • What is hexane based oil extraction process?
  • Hexane-based processes is popular for maximizing oil yield in excess of 95% with a solvent recovery of over 95% which in compare to 60 to 70% oil yield by mechanical expeller pressing. Thus Solvent extraction process is the most efficient process for extracting crude edible oil from oilseeds.
  • How is oil extracted from oilseeds?
  • Conventional oil extraction from oilseeds has been performed by hydraulic pressing, expeller pressing and solvent extraction (SE) . Among these methods, solvent extraction has been widely adapted for economical and practical concerns.
  • How is oil extracted before solvent extraction?
  • Before performing solvent extraction the oilseeds are processed (flaked, cracked, ground or pressed) to suit for the enhanced oil recovery by solvent extraction. In SE process, the oilseeds are washed with hexane, thereafter the hexane is separated from oil by evaporation and distillation .
  • Can SpecTec provide a continuous solvent extraction plant?
  • Spectec Techno Projects Pvt. Ltd, can provide a complete Continuous Solvent Extraction Plant for the capacity ranges from 50 TPD TO 2000 TPD. Preparation is the process of properly preparing seeds for extraction of oil. A particular seed may contain from 20 % ¨C 50 % oil, (depending on the seed and and geographical location).
