Solvent extraction method has become a cornerstone in modern vegetable oil production. The global vegetable oil market is projected to reach $241.5 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 3.6% from 2022 to 2027. This growth can be partly attributed to the effectiveness of solvent extraction in enhancing oil production efficiency.
The basic principle of the solvent extraction method involves using a specific solvent to dissolve the oil from oil - bearing materials. It is widely used in various fields, including the production of edible oils such as soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil, as well as in the industrial production of bio - fuels.
Our advanced oil solvent extraction equipment boasts a series of outstanding design features. Firstly, it is designed with high - precision components that ensure accurate control of the extraction process. The use of advanced materials reduces equipment wear, resulting in a longer service life. Typically, the equipment can operate continuously for up to 18 hours a day with a very low failure rate of less than 2%.
The automatic control system is another highlight. It can monitor and adjust parameters such as temperature, pressure, and solvent flow rate in real - time, ensuring stable and efficient operation. This reduces the need for manual intervention, saving labor costs by up to 30% compared to traditional equipment.
In the solvent extraction process, several key steps determine the final oil yield. The pre - treatment of oil - bearing materials, including cleaning, crushing, and flaking, is crucial. Proper pre - treatment can increase the contact area between the solvent and the oil, thereby improving the extraction efficiency. Studies have shown that optimized pre - treatment can increase the oil yield by 5 - 8%.
The extraction step itself also requires careful control. By adjusting the extraction time, temperature, and the ratio of solvent to raw materials, the oil extraction rate can be maximized. Additionally, the recovery and reuse of the solvent are important for cost - reduction and environmental protection. Our equipment has an efficient solvent recovery system, with a recovery rate of up to 98%.
The vegetable oil extraction industry is constantly evolving with the latest technological innovations. For example, the application of green solvents and membrane separation technology is expected to bring more environmentally friendly and efficient extraction solutions. The growing demand for high - quality and healthy vegetable oils also presents new market opportunities.
According to market research, the demand for organic and cold - pressed vegetable oils is increasing at an annual rate of 8 - 10%. Our company is committed to keeping up with these trends, continuously researching and developing new technologies and products to meet the changing market needs.
