Copra oil press to extract coconut oil

For coconut oil making, there are two methods: cold press and solvent extraction. Fresh coconut are used in cold press while dry coconut for extraction process.
The oil from fresh coconut are usually is white in color below 25°C, otherwise it looks like water in color above 25°C. For refining oil from dry coconut, it is a little yellow in color and has no smell compared with crude coconut oil.
Coconut pulp after drying is copra, the moisture content down to 6% -10% ,copra fat is 57% -75%, copra meal after extracting coconut oil can be used as animal feed. Coconut flesh can also be processed into coconut powder, copra and other foods.
Huatai can offer you specific coconut oil making solution to you and help you to get high oil yield with low cost.

Copra oil press to extract coconut oil is as below

Copra →Deiron→Flaking →Cooking→Pressing→Filtration→Crude Coconut Oil
We offer the factory prices to ensure you get the most cost effective copra oil machine.

Send the copra (moisture 10%~12%) to the automatic scale and then go through the magnetic chamber to remove iron. Grind the copra to small pieces (about 0.3mm in diameter) by using a crusher, and then send the crushed copra to flaking process and press the particles into thin slices. Then, in conditioning process (steam cooker), the materials will be cooked at about 115 ℃ for 20 min. In this condition, the fat cells break down, the phospholipid precipitated, and the moisture drop to 3%. They are now ready for oil expelling in screw oil mill. Generally, the residual oil of coconut cake is 7%.
Steaming and cooking is significant for the efficient running of screw press. The temperature of copra flakes should be controlled at 91~93℃ for a certain time. If the temperature is under 91℃, the oil yield is low, while if the temperature is above 93℃, the color of expelled oil will be dark. The expelled oil will be send to clarification tank and filter machine. The solid dregs will be send back for another expelling and the clarified oil will be mixed with white clay, go through filter press and then be stored for further processing.
