The Vertical Leacher is equipment used in the oil processing industry to extract oil from oilseeds. It utilizes a vertical leaching vessel where oilseeds contact solvents (e.g., hexane). The solvent dissolves the oil, forming miscella. The miscella undergoes evaporation and stripping to separate the solvent, yielding pure oil
The Vertical Leacher is equipment used in the oil processing industry to extract oil from oilseeds. It utilizes a vertical leaching vessel where oilseeds contact solvents (e.g., hexane). The solvent dissolves the oil, forming miscella. The miscella undergoes evaporation and stripping to separate the solvent, yielding pure oil. Its vertical design enables periodic batch processing in single vessels, facilitating production coordination and suiting intermittent operations.
