Maximum Oil Recovery with Solvent Extraction
Mini Solvent Extraction Plant: Seed-cake, low oil content oil seeds and other low oil content materials are not preferable to process through mechanical pressing.
These oil bearing materials (OBM) can be processed in a Solvent Extraction Plant (SEP) to extract the remaining amount of oils efficiently. Our SEP setup is suitable to handle up to 20% oil content OBM and produce final materials called De-Oiled Cake (DOC) with less than 0.2% oil content. We can fabricate complete setups from 200 Tons per day to 1,000 Tons per day in OBM processing capacities.
SEP Setup — Four Sections
Why Add Solvent Extraction? For a 100 TPD groundnut pressing operation, an SEP can recover an additional 5–7 tonnes of oil per day — typically paying back the full SEP investment within 18–24 months.
