ExtractionSolvent Extraction Plants Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter


Solvent Extraction Plant is the process of extracting oil from seeds and other oil containing material by addition of a solvent. Food Grade n-Hexane which is a by-product of Petroleum is used at various stages depending on the amount of oil the seeds hold. It can be coupled with an oil extraction and be used on the left over seed to ensure complete extraction of oil from the seed. Depending on the seed, Solvent Extraction method can be used on seen containing around 20% of oil.

The horizontally arranged extractor features a moving belt with controllable speed and height. The solvent is passed through the bed and the slow conveyor speed ensures proper percolation of the solvent. The process is followed by distillation of the along with washing off the solvent.

Solvent extraction consists of four main operations,

Extraction of oil from oil bearing seeds/cakes.

De-solventising of de-oiled seeds/cake.

Distillation, to separate the solvent from the Miscella.

Recover the solvent for reuse.

What are the Processes of the Muez Hest Solvent Extraction Plant?


The solvent extraction plant is a crucial industrial procedure designed to extract specific oil components or substances from oil-bearing materials using suitable solvents. The process involves several key steps:

  1. Preparatory

    • The first step of the extraction is to prepare seed or plant material correctly, which includes cleaning, cracking, dehulling, flaking, or palletizing, depending upon the oil composition. Muez Hest provides the Cooker cum Pre-conditioner for seed to the desired temperature to rupture the oil cells by steam, which make easier separation of oil from material with a solvent.
  2. Solvent

    • Hexane has been industrially utilized for a long time for solvent extraction. It has proven highly efficient and is the best oil extraction option for all oil-bearing seeds or materials.
  3. Extraction

    • The solvent extraction thoroughly penetrates the source material or mixture, and the target component dissolves into the solvent phase while the undesired components remain in the original phase. Muez Hest designed the extractor to have maximum contact with the solvent and extract maximum oil from the meal. It requires less energy and less maintenance.
  4. Separation

    • After extraction, the two phases are allowed to settle and drain hexane. Now containing the extracted substance, the solvent phase is separated from the original phase.
  5. Desolventization

    • Muez-Hest Desolventizer Toaster (DT) is a vertical cylindrical vessel with a multitude of horizontal trays, which provide efficient heating for the evaporation of hexane and condensed in a condenser and reprocessed.
  6. Miscella Distillation

    • The solvent phase, which now holds the extracted substance, undergoes further processing to separate the solvent from the extracted material. This recovery step is essential to ensure the efficient reuse of the solvent and to leave behind the concentrated extracted substance. Methods such as distillation or evaporation are commonly employed for solvent recovery.
  7. Product Collection

    • The final step involves collecting the concentrated extracted substance, which is now in a form suitable for further processing or utilization in various industries.
  8. The solvent extraction plant process is highly versatile and is the extraction of edible oils from oilseeds. The success of a solvent extraction plant process hinges on factors like the choice of the suitable solvent, process optimization, and adherence to safety and environmental standards.

      What are the Solvent Extraction Plant Costs?


      The solvent extraction plant cost is a multifaceted consideration that depends on numerous factors, including plant capacity, solvent type, process complexity, and project-specific requirements. Equipment procurement, construction, solvent acquisition, labor, ongoing operational expenses, compliance with regulations, engineering and consultation services, raw materials, and miscellaneous costs collectively contribute to the overall solvent extraction plant cost. To obtain an accurate estimation tailored to a specific project, it's advisable to collaborate with experienced solvent extraction plant manufacturers or engineering firms who can provide comprehensive insights into cost-saving strategies, equipment selection, and process optimization. This ensures the investment aligns with the project's objectives and budget constraints, delivering a cost-effective and efficient solvent extraction solution.
