Mustard / Canola / Rapeseed Solvent Extraction Plant
Engineered to deliver maximum oil recovery from pre-pressed Mustard, Canola, and Rapeseed cakes trusted by clients across India and global markets for high-performance Rapeseed Oil Extraction Plant and Mustard Oil Extraction Plant solutions.
Our Mustard, Canola, and Rapeseed Solvent Extraction Plant is designed to extract the maximum possible oil from pre-pressed oilseed cakes. Since these seeds naturally contain a high oil percentage typically between 35-45% they first go through mechanical screw pressing to remove the bulk of the oil. The cake left behind still carries a meaningful 12-18% oil content, which is then directed into our continuous extraction system for further processing. Using food-grade hexane, the plant dissolves and draws out this remaining oil with high precision, lowering residual oil levels in the final meal to below 1.0%.
At the heart of this operation is a precisely regulated Desolventizer Toaster (DT), which performs two functions simultaneously recovering the solvent and applying controlled heat treatment to bring down harmful glucosinolate levels. The end result is a protein-rich, safe de-oiled cake (DOC) well suited for use in animal and poultry feed.
Whether you're looking for a Mustard Solvent Extraction Plant, a Canola Solvent Extraction Plant, or a complete Rapeseed Processing Plant, our system is engineered to deliver consistent performance across all three feedstocks, backed by reliable Rapeseed Extraction Technology developed through years of engineering expertise.

How Our Extraction Plant Works
Step-by-step breakdown of our highly efficient oil recovery process.
Seed Cleaning & Pre-Pressing
Mustard, canola, and rapeseed are cleaned to remove impurities, then mechanically pressed using screw presses to extract the bulk of the oil.
Cake Preparation
The resulting pre-pressed cake is broken down to a uniform size, ensuring consistent solvent penetration during extraction.
Solvent Extraction
The prepared cake is fed into our continuous moving-bed extractor, where food-grade hexane dissolves and draws out the remaining residual oil.
Miscella Distillation
The oil-solvent mixture undergoes multi-stage, low-temperature distillation to separate pure crude oil from the solvent while preserving oil quality.
Desolventizing & Toasting
Once extraction is complete, the meal is routed through our Desolventizer Toaster, where a precisely managed combination of heat and steam strips away residual hexane while also bringing down harmful glucosinolate content.
Solvent Recovery
A closed-loop, zero-venting system recovers hexane for reuse, keeping solvent loss consistently under 2.0 liters per ton.
Final Output
The process yields two valuable products high-quality crude oil ready for refining, and a safe, protein-rich de-oiled cake (DOC) suitable for animal and poultry feed.

Why Choose Our Rapeseed Solvent Extraction Plant
Capacity Range 50 TPD to 1500 TPD
Our Mustard Solvent Extraction Plant and Canola Solvent Extraction Plant configurations are available across a wide capacity spectrum from 50 TPD for mid-scale processors to 1500 TPD for large industrial operations. Every unit is custom-engineered to match your specific feedstock volume and site conditions.
Glucosinolate Control Through Advanced DT System
Rapeseed and mustard meal carries naturally occurring glucosinolates that make it unsafe for direct animal consumption. Our purpose-built Desolventizer Toaster applies precisely regulated heat and steam to bring glucosinolate levels down to safe limits producing a de-oiled cake that meets international animal feed quality standards.
Proven Rapeseed Extraction Technology
Our Rapeseed Oil Extraction Plant systems are built on extraction technology proven across mustard, canola, and rapeseed feedstocks in Indian and international markets including Africa and Southeast Asia. Clients processing everything from Indian yellow mustard to Canadian canola have consistently achieved residual oil below 1.0%.
Low Solvent Loss Under 2.0 Liters Per Ton
Our closed-loop zero-venting solvent recovery system, combining multi-stage condensation with mineral oil absorption, keeps hexane consumption among the lowest in the industry. This directly reduces your per-ton processing cost and supports a safer plant environment.
Complete Turnkey Support
From initial process design and equipment manufacturing to installation, commissioning, and after-sales service we deliver the complete Rapeseed Processing Plant as a single-point turnkey solution. No third-party coordination required.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified Manufacturing
Every component of our Canola Oil Extraction Plant and Mustard Oil Extraction Plant is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes, ensuring consistent quality, dimensional accuracy, and long operational life.
Flexible Output for Edible Oil and Feed Industries
Our Rapeseed Oil Processing Plant is designed to serve two industries simultaneously. The crude oil output is refined-ready and suitable for edible oil production, while the de-oiled cake meets protein and safety standards required for commercial animal feed manufacturing. Both outputs are consistent batch after batch, making our system reliable for processors supplying to regulated markets.

Whether you are setting up a new Rapeseed Oil Manufacturing Plant or expanding an existing press line, our systems are engineered for uninterrupted round-the-clock operation. Low-maintenance components and a streamlined process design keep downtime minimal and production schedules on track.
Measurable Oil Recovery in Every Production Cycle
Our Rapeseed Oil Recovery Plant approach is built around one outcome delivering the highest possible oil yield from every ton of pre-pressed cake. Residual oil below 1.0% and solvent loss under 2.0 liters per ton are not targets, they are guaranteed performance benchmarks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common technical questions our clients ask about the Mustard / Canola / Rapeseed Solvent Extraction Plant
Q1. Can we process direct mustard seeds in this plant?
expand_more
Mustard and canola seeds carry a naturally high oil content, often reaching 40-45%, which makes direct solvent extraction inefficient as a standalone process. For best results, seeds are first mechanically pressed through oil expellers to remove the bulk of the oil. The cake remaining after pressing still holds roughly 12-18% oil, making it well-suited for further processing through our solvent extraction system.
Q2. What method does the plant use to control glucosinolate levels in mustard or rapeseed?
expand_more
Our Desolventizer Toaster (DT) applies a precisely regulated combination of heat and moisture during the toasting stage. This controlled treatment effectively lowers harmful glucosinolate levels, resulting in a de-oiled meal that is both safe and nutritionally suitable for animal feed.
Q3. Does the pre-pressed cake need any preparation before extraction?
expand_more
Yes — the dense, pre-pressed cake first passes through a cake breaker to achieve a consistent, smaller size. This preparation step is essential, as it allows even solvent penetration throughout the extractor and helps achieve the highest possible oil recovery.
Q4. What is the quality of the extracted oil?
expand_more
The crude oil obtained through solvent extraction retains its natural characteristics, including pungency where applicable. Because our system relies on low-temperature miscella distillation, the oil avoids excessive darkening or quality loss, making it well-prepared for the refining stages that follow.
Q5. What level of efficiency does the solvent recovery system offer?
expand_more
Solvent recovery is handled through a tightly sealed, closed-loop arrangement that combines multi-stage condensation with a mineral oil absorption system. Together, these components keep total solvent loss reliably under 2.0 liters per ton of cake processed.
Q6. Is the plant capable of handling soybean or sunflower as well?
expand_more
Yes, the plant is engineered for adaptability. By making small modifications to the preparatory stage and adjusting certain operating parameters, the same system can be used to extract oil from soybean, sunflower cake, and various other oilseed materials.
