Cooking Oil Extraction

The cooking oil is the basic requirement of human being. The different types of cooking oils are used in all over the world and different types of oilseeds are grown at everywhere. Cooking oil is purified fat of plant origin, This kind of oil is usually liquid at room temperature.

Other kinds of vegetable oils including olive oil, palm oil, soybean oil, canola oil, pumpkin seed oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, grape seed oil, sesame oil, argan oil and rice bran oil. Many other kinds of vegetable oils are also used for cooking purpose.

Cooking Oil Extraction

The extracrion section of cooking of is almost the same as other vegetable oil extraction. The cake from oil press section could also be used as raw material for solvent extraction plant, the chemical way to extract oil. This kind of extraction uses chemical solvent to dissolve oil content contained in cake or oil seeds.

Oil is collected by vaporizing solvent out which is later recycled. In configuring the solvent extraction plant, pre-pressing may be involved in which case seeds are lightly pressed leaving about 14% to 18% oil in pressed cake. Solvent extraction will further process these cakes and leave only 2% oil in the final cake (meal). This method results in higher capacity; Lower power consumption, lower wear & tear / maintenance and high extract efficiency. Thus it could be used as complement equipment to extract the oil remained in cake, which gives extra profit to entrepreneurs. Or the solvent extraction could be configured to process raw soybean and some other seeds directly.
