India’s leading solvent extraction plant manufacturers

Solvent extraction, as the name suggests is a procedure to remove the oil from oil bearing materials by methods for Solvent, Solvent utilizes ordinary Hexane – an oil by-product. The solvent extraction plant design is intended to remove oil directly from oil seed containing under 20% oil like soybean subsequent to chipping or it extracts oils from prepressed or completely squeezed cake of seeds containing over 20% oil like sunflower, peanuts, cotton seed, palm part, canola, copra, castor and assortment of different materials.

Standard solvent extraction plant design features the following:

▪          Available in solid - liquid and liquid - liquid extraction systems

▪          Uses various solvents polar or nonpolar or a combination of both

▪          Versatility to process all types of seeds, bran or oil cakes

Process of solvent extraction plant design:

▪          Preparatory Section

▪          Extraction unit

▪          Distillation unit

▪          Meal Toasting

▪          Recuperation unit

▪          Meal Finishing Section

▪          DTDC for large capacity plant

The solvent oil is not considered better for human utilization therefore it is sent to refineries for refining where all impurities are removed from it. All this takes place in a solvent extraction plant. Mectech is one of the leading companies manufacturing and supplying solvent extraction plants in India. The company’s plant design is simple, robust, operator friendly and flexible.

The solvent extraction plant made by Mectech comprises of the following:

▪          Seed Preparation: Roller mill / Flaking mill / Cooker-Conditioner / Expander-Extruder

▪          Roller Mill: Used in the preparation of oilseeds prior to direct solvent extraction.
