The REFLEX Extractor revealed
Contact time is the single most important factor for the efficient solvent extraction of vegetable oils. To maximize contact time, the REFLEXs sealed divider design enables the oilseed material to be completely surrounded with miscella from the time it enters the extractor until the extraction cycle is complete. Only a sealed divider design can do this.
Savings on Seed Preparation |
De Smet supplied over 700 Desolventising Toasters, Dryer Coolers, and DTDC.
The desolventiser-toaster serves the purpose of removing the solvent from the meal, which can be directly used as an ingredient in animal feed compounds.
A desolventiser-toaster consists of a vertical stack of several cylindrical gas-tight pans, each having a steam-heated bottom. In the top trays, solvent is evaporated by simple heating in dry atmosphere. Live steam injection is used in the lower compartments and removes most of the residual solvent from the meal.
The meal is generally dried and cooled in additional pans located below those used for desolventising.

Solvent Recovery Unit
The air entrained into the extractor by the pores of the raw material must necessarily be eliminated, but this operation also entrains some hexane. To minimise this loss, hexane is recovered in an absorption column that uses mineral oil (sometimes vegetable oil).
