Rice Bran Solvent Extraction Plant
Engineered to deliver maximum oil recovery from rice bran, trusted by clients across India and global markets for high-performance rice bran oil processing solutions.
Rice bran is a by-product obtained during rice milling, forming a thin layer between the husk and the rice kernel. It typically contains 16-22% oil, depending on whether it is raw bran or para-boiled bran. Because rice bran is naturally powdery in form, it cannot be fed directly into an extractor. Our Rice Bran Solvent Extraction Plant is designed around this requirement, converting loose bran into a dense, porous pellet through a dedicated rice bran pelletizing plant before extraction begins. Using food-grade hexane, the plant then dissolves and draws out the oil through hexane extraction of rice bran oil, lowering residual oil levels in the final meal to below 1.0%.
At the heart of this Rice Bran Oil Extraction Plant is a precisely regulated Desolventizer Toaster (DT), which strips residual solvent from the meal while conditioning it for safe use. The end result is a stable de-oiled rice bran (DORB) plant output, a protein-rich by-product widely used in animal and poultry feed.
Whether you're looking for a Rice Bran Oil Processing Plant, a rice bran conditioning and pelletizing plant, or a complete Rice Bran Oil Refinery Plant, Super Techno Engineers builds systems engineered to deliver consistent performance, backed by reliable rice bran solvent extraction technology developed through years of engineering expertise.

How Our Rice Bran Solvent Extraction Plant Works
Our rice bran oil extraction plant follows a streamlined, multi-stage rice bran solvent extraction process designed for maximum efficiency and consistent output.
Bran Cleaning
Rice bran collected from mills is passed through a rotary or vibro sieve to remove husk particles and threads, then through a magnetic separator to remove iron contamination before processing.
Conditioning
The cleaned bran is fed into a conditioner where it is agitated with live steam, raising the temperature to around 70°C and increasing moisture to 10-11%, the ideal range for pelletizing.
Pelletizing
The conditioned bran passes through our rice bran pelletizing plant, converting the powdery material into dense, porous pellets suited for efficient solvent penetration.
Pellet Cooling
Pellets discharged at 80-90°C are cooled to around 55°C before being transferred to the extraction section, ensuring optimal extraction temperature.
Solvent Extraction
The cooled pellets are fed into our continuous rice bran extraction plant, where food-grade hexane is sprayed counter-currently over the moving bed, dissolving the residual oil into miscella.
Miscella Distillation
The oil-solvent mixture undergoes multi-stage, low-temperature distillation to separate pure crude rice bran oil from the solvent while preserving oil quality.
Desolventizing & Toasting
The de-oiled bran is routed through our rice bran desolventizer toaster plant, where controlled heat and steam strip away residual hexane from the meal.
Meal Conditioning & Bagging
The de-oiled rice bran, discharged at around 110°C, is cooled, sieved to remove lumps, and bagged as the final DORB product ready for the feed industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common technical questions our clients ask about the Rice Bran Solvent Extraction Plant.
Q1. Can rice bran be fed directly into the extractor without pelletizing?
expand_more
No, raw rice bran is powdery in nature and does not allow proper solvent penetration. It must first pass through our rice bran conditioning and pelletizing plant to form dense pellets suited for extraction.
Q2. What is the difference between raw rice bran and para-boiled rice bran for extraction?
expand_more
Raw rice bran typically contains 16-18% oil, while para-boiled rice bran contains 18-22% oil and is more stable, since the enzyme responsible for oil degradation is partially destroyed during the para-boiling process.
Q3. Why is pelletizing necessary before rice bran solvent extraction?
expand_more
Pelletizing converts loose, powdery bran into a porous, uniform pellet, allowing hexane to penetrate evenly through the material bed and ensuring consistent, efficient oil recovery.
Q4. What is the quality of the extracted rice bran oil?
expand_more
The multi-stage, low-temperature miscella distillation process preserves oil quality, delivering crude rice bran oil suitable for refining into edible and industrial-grade products.
Q5. How efficient is the solvent recovery system?
expand_more
Our closed-loop, zero-venting solvent recovery system keeps hexane loss consistently under 2.0 liters per ton, among the lowest in the rice bran solvent extraction plant industry.
Q6. What plant capacities are available for rice bran processing?
expand_more
