Plant Spares & Equipment
High-quality, durable equipment and replacement components for Solvent Extraction and Edible Oil Refinery plants.
Solvent Extraction Plant Spares
Desolventization Toaster (DT)
The Desolventizer Toaster (DT) is used in a solvent extraction plant to remove hexane solvent from the extracted oilseed meal. The wet meal enters the DT where steam is applied, causing the solvent to evaporate. At the same time, the meal is heated (toasted) to improve its quality and make it safe for animal feed. The solvent vapors are recovered, and the final product obtained is desolventized toasted meal.
Extractor
The Extractor is the main equipment in a solvent extraction plant where oil is removed from oilseeds using a solvent, usually hexane. The prepared seeds or flakes are fed into the extractor, and solvent is sprayed over them. The oil dissolves in the solvent, forming a mixture called miscella, while the remaining solid becomes meal. The miscella is sent for oil recovery.
Batch Extractor
A Batch Extractor is used in solvent extraction plants where oil is extracted from oilseeds in fixed batches instead of continuously. The prepared seeds are loaded into the extractor, and solvent (hexane) is added to dissolve the oil. After a certain time, the oil-solvent mixture (miscella) is drained, and the remaining meal is discharged. This process is repeated for each batch. It is simple in design but slower compared to continuous extractors.
Condenser
A condenser is used in a solvent extraction plant to convert solvent vapors (like hexane) back into liquid form. The vapors coming from equipment like the extractor or desolventizer are cooled using water or cooling media inside the condenser. As the vapors lose heat, they condense into liquid solvent, which is then collected and reused in the process. This helps in recovering solvent and reducing losses.
Economizer
An Economizer is used to improve energy efficiency in a solvent extraction plant. It recovers heat from hot outgoing fluids (like vapors or exhaust gases) and uses it to preheat incoming streams such as oil, water, or solvent. This reduces fuel consumption and saves energy, making the process more economical.
