Industrial Extractor

High-capacity continuous solvent extraction systems engineered to maximize oil yield and minimize solvent loss in edible oil plants.

Engineering Focus

Maximizing Yield. Preventing Losses.

In solvent extraction, every drop of oil left in the meal and every vapor of hexane lost impacts your profitability. Our extractors are built to push residual oil down to < 1% safely and efficiently.

Counter-Current Extraction

Our extractors utilize a highly efficient multi-stage, counter-current washing process. Pure solvent meets the leanest seed cake at the discharge end, ensuring maximum penetration and deep extraction of the last remaining oil molecules.

security

Vapor-Tight Operational Safety

Hexane is highly volatile. Our extractor casings are precision-welded and structurally reinforced to operate under slight negative pressure, guaranteeing zero solvent vapor leaks into the factory atmosphere.

Integrated sight glasses and explosion-proof (ATEX) lighting allow operators to safely monitor the internal miscella flow and percolation rate in real-time.

Deep Bed Extraction

The key to a high-yield extraction is maintaining the perfect bed height of the prepared seed/cake. Our extractors feature an adjustable speed drive that allows operators to tune the residence time precisely based on the material's porosity.

High-volume miscella circulation pumps spray the solvent evenly over the bed, ensuring thorough penetration without flooding the compartments.

Material Excellence

Heavy-Duty Structural Integrity

Continuous extractors handle massive loads of saturated meal. The main casing and hoppers are fabricated from heavy-gauge mild steel or stainless steel, braced with structural ribs to eliminate flexing or vibration.

The internal chain and sprocket mechanism is forged from high-tensile alloy steel, engineered to pull the heavy bed of material smoothly 24/7 without snapping or stretching.

Implementation Protocol

How We Work

Our engineering teams design every extractor to match your specific seed prep capacity, ensuring perfect percolation and maximum oil recovery.

science

Feed Analysis

We evaluate the porosity, flaking thickness, and oil content of your prepared seed cake to determine the precise length and bed depth required for the extractor.

architecture

Flow & Residence Design

Our engineers calculate the optimum solvent-to-meal ratio, designing the multi-stage spray zones to guarantee optimal counter-current washing without flooding.

"Before installing this continuous extractor, we were struggling with high residual oil and constant chain stretching issues. Upgrading to this system solved both immediately. Our residual oil dropped to consistently below 1%, and the heavy-duty drive hasn't required adjustment in 18 months."

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of seeds can the extractor process? add
The extractor is highly versatile. Assuming proper seed preparation (flaking/expanding), it can process Soybean, Sunflower, Rapeseed/Canola, Cottonseed, Groundnut, and Rice Bran.
What is counter-current extraction? add
It's a process where the fresh, pure solvent enters at the discharge end (where the meal has the least oil), and flows backward against the material flow. This guarantees maximum oil extraction efficiency.
How do you prevent hexane leaks? add
The entire main casing is heavily welded and pressure-tested. Additionally, the system operates under a slight negative pressure, meaning if a seal were ever compromised, air gets pulled in, rather than hexane leaking out.
What capacities are available? add
We manufacture custom extractors ranging from 50 Tons Per Day (TPD) for boutique or specialized operations, all the way up to massive 1500+ TPD continuous plants.
How do you control the extraction time? add
The main drive motor is connected to a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). This allows the operator to instantly speed up or slow down the internal band, perfectly tuning the residence (extraction) time.
What kind of screens are used inside? add
We use heavy-duty stainless steel wedge wire screens. Their unique V-shaped profile makes them self-cleaning, preventing fine meal particles from blinding the screen and halting percolation.
