Edible Oil Extraction

The principle is to extract oil from seed press cake or soya bean by organic solvent (isohexane). Raw materials for extraction contents oil, plant netting, water, and air. Solvent "pusshes out“ the air from raw materials, fill up the cavities, dissolves the oil. Solution of oil and solvent sticks on the particles and its concentation comes into balance with concentation of the free solution around the particles. This concentration balance moves countercurrent – wise by bringing more and more diluted solution up to clear solvent. Such diffusion operation takes place in extractor.
