Product Profile of Solvent Extraction Plants

Troika an iso 9001 company is a leading engineering firm, operating since 1971, specialist in the field of oils and fats technology. Solvent extraction is the method to extract the oil from oil bearing materials by means of solvent, i.E., hexane - a petroleum bye product. Salient features are as follows:

• The plant is designed to extract oil directly from oil seed containing less than 20% oil like soybean.

• After flaking or it extracts oils from pre pressed or fully pressed cake of seeds containing more than 20% oil like sunflower, cotton seed, palm kernel, canola, peanuts, copra, castor and variety of other materials.

• The extractor is horizontally constructed to make it easily accessible.

• The extractor works on counter current, moving bed principal with variable bed height and variable speed mechanism letting excellent penetration and percolation of solvent for absolute extraction.

• The low speed of extractor conveyor ensures almost no maintenance. Distillation takes place under vacuum and de-solventizing of meal is done in liberally designed de-solvent toaster.

• For solvent recovery adequate capacity condensers and vent air stripping system is provided.
