#solvent extraction process

A solvent extraction plant manufacturer is a company that designs and manufactures equipment used to extract oil from seeds and other materials by using solvents like hexane. These plants are widely used in the vegetable oil industry as they have high extraction efficiency and can process a variety of seeds including soybeans, sunflower, rapeseed, and more. Solvent extraction is a popular method for oil extraction as it can extract up to 99% of the oil from the seeds

Soybean is an excellent raw material for the protein source. For the production of protein concentrates and protein isolates which are needed for the human consumption, high PDI meal is required (PDI value 75).

With conventional method of de-solventising, the HP steam gets condensed during de-solventizing which produces meal of 20 – 30 PDI, that is not suitable for high value products from soybean meal.

Solvent extraction process extracts the oil from the expeller pressed oil cake in order to extract maximum oil. The degree of oil loss with the oil cake depends upon the efficiency of the solvent extraction plant.
