Preparation

An efficient Extraction would need that every oil bearing cell of the material is in contact with the solvent. In other words, the smooth preparation prior to main extraction is very vital to comply with this contact, smaller the material size, better the penetration of the solvent into the oil bearing cells, but too fine a size will prevent the solvent from percolation through the mass. Hence an optimum size is absolutely essential for efficient extraction.

ONLINE WEIGHING MACHINES

Online weighing machines are used for weighing the quantity of material processed daily. These machines provide accurate weight and provides a fair calculation of quantity of seeds processed per day.

SEED CLEANER

Seed Cleaner is specifically designed for the preliminary cleaning of all types of seeds at high flow rates in extraction plants. It effectively removes all size impurities from the seeds. The seed cleaner is fitted with an Aspiration channel for the removal of finer particles like husk, chaff etc…

DESTONER

Destoner is used for the cleaning of seed and other granular products such as stones, mudballs, glass pieces, metal pieces etc. from the seeds. The machine is provided with 2 screens in the sieve box for effective separation of stones. Degree of separation can be optimized by individually adjusting screen inclination and air quantity.

CRACKER

Cracker with 4 rolls is used mainly in solvent extraction plants and oil mills for the crushing of oil seeds. The rolls are pressed together mechanically by disc springs. Feed gate is adjustable to regulate the feed stock. Large doors arranged on both sides of the machine allow visual inspection and sampling.

COOKER

Cooker is designed for the cooking and/or conditioning of oilseeds during the preparation process before the mechanical pressing or flaking. Vertical Cookers are multi staged and big size stages are used. Besides sterilizing and decontaminate the seeds, the cooking process is to provide the cooked seeds with plasticity to reduce the oil’s viscosity and clot the proteins.

FLAKER

Flaker is designed to turn the broken oilseeds into thin flakes for the subsequent oil extraction either through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. It is designed to enable automatic feeding system and the speed can be varied.

HULL SEPARATOR

Hull Separator is specifically designed to separator the hulls from the cracked soya seeds. This helps in achieving high protein soya meal.

EXPANDER

The Expander is included in the preparatory to increase the production capacity by 20-30%, without altering the final fat values. It reduces the power, steam and solvent consumption thus obtaining crude oil of higher quality. This is designed with automatic feeding system wherein speed of the feed can be varied easily. Veendeep offers expander with Squeezomatic attachment for high oil content seeds like sunflower, canola, palm kernel etc..

DRYER-COOLER

Dryer-Cooler is used for drying / cooling of expanded material during the process prior to solvent extraction as well as the drying and cooling of extracted meal, pellets or granulated material prior to storage.
