Solvent extraction, as the name suggests is a process to extract the oil from oil bearing materials by means of solvent. The purpose of solvent extraction is to remove most of the oil contained in a seed. Extraction is conducted on prepared seeds or, generally in the case of high oil content seeds, the cakes obtained by the pre-pressing. Solvent Extraction Plants are used to extract oil by using chemicals. These plants use cake as the raw material, which is obtained from the oil press section.
Solvent extraction process is designed to extract oil directly from oil seed containing less than 20% oil like soyabean after flaking or it extracts oils from prepressed or fully pressed cake of seeds containing more than 20% oil like sunflower, peanuts, cotton seed, palm kernel, canola, copra, castor and variety of other materials.
With wide and rich pratical industrial experience, we offer solvent extraction plants across the world. We manufacture these plants using precision based techniques and superior quality raw materials procured from well-established organizations to ensure durability. These plants are remarkably featured with a perfect assembly of sound technical components, which enables complete extraction of solvents. It finds its application in nuclear reprocessing. Moreover, these plants are cost-efficient and reliable.
