  • How copra oil is extracted?
  • Extracted from dried coconut meat ¨C Copra. The coconut is dried in the sun or in a drier before pressing the oil. The copra is then sent to a coconut extracting machine to obtain crude oil. (Read more: Copra Oil Mill Plant Process) Note: The above mentioned Capacity Range includes single pressing as well as pre-pressing.
  • What is copra oil?
  • Copra oil is pressed from dried coconut meat for many different applications. It is the most valuable byproduct of the multifunctional coconut fruit. With a rich history dating back to the 5th century, coconuts have long been cultivated in tropical regions throughout the Pacific Islands, India, China, Africa, and South America.
  • Can coconut meat be used to make copra oil?
  • While it¡¯s possible to process raw coconut kernels into virgin coconut oil, the meat is often dried to obtain copra, which is then processed into copra oil. Fresh coconut meat contains about 50% moisture and 34% oil by weight, so it must be dried before processing.
  • Why do we cook copra?
  • Cooking helps in better oil recovery, provides a sweet aroma and improves the shelf life of coconut oil. Heating also sterilises copra. Dried and Roasted Copra pieces are now fed into an expeller with screw press for mechanical crushing under high pressure. Oil squeezes out of copra during this process leaving the fibre out.
  • How is copra pressed?
  • After grinding, cracking, and flaking, copra can be pressed like other oilseeds to extract the valuable oil.
  • What is the first step in making copra from coconuts?
  • Harvesting coconuts for copra is a labor-intensive process. Farmers and plantation workers manually remove the fibrous outer husk, then split open the coconut shell to drain the liquid. While it¡¯s possible to process these raw kernels into virgin coconut oil, the meat is often dried to obtain copra, which is then processed into copra oil.
