  • What is copra oil expeller?
  • Copra Oil Expeller is perfect for medium or large oil mill plants. We are well-known manufacturer of oil extraction machine and our screw press are working successfully in more then 51 countries of the world.
  • How is copra oil extracted?
  • The copra residue which is still intact to the shell during collection, was separated and cleaned properly. Then, the copra will be dried at 60 °C for 12 h. The copra was grinded using a Wonder® blender (WB-1) into powder form. The copra oil extraction process in this study involved three types of extraction techniques, namely SXE, UAE and MAE.
  • How do you extract oil from a copra cake?
  • Crushing is employed in 2 stages where 1st crushed copra is again crushed for the 2nd time to recover maximum oil. The left out Oil cake will still have 8% oil. Extracting oil beyond this level is not economical with mechanical crushing. Solvent extraction method will have to be employed beyond this stage.
  • How is copra pressed?
  • After grinding, cracking, and flaking, copra can be pressed like other oilseeds to extract the valuable oil.
  • Which reagent is used in the extraction of copra oil?
  • Hexane (Friendemann Schmidt, analytical reagent grade) was used as solvent, 10 g of copra powder and 60 °C (±?5) of temperature was applied in all extraction procedures. After extractions were done, the copra oil was separated from the sample (by filtering) and solvent (using rotary evaporator).
  • How much oil does copra contain?
  • Copra contains approximately 63% oil, 5% is lost as moisture during the process, remaining 32% is oil cake. Oil is taken for further processing like filtering and packing. Oil cake is packed in gunny bags and sold to solvent extractors or cattle feed manufacturers. Oil extracted through expeller will has about 8% sediments/foots.
