Coconut oil technology & Equipment    Throughput：5-200tons

    The Philippines produces coconut and exports the most coconut oil, followed by Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea. Coconut meat is usually dried into dried coconut.

    Fresh coconut meat contains 30% ≤ 40% oil and 50% water, while dried coconut contains 60% oil and 70% water, and water 4% ≤ 7%. coconut oil has a special flavor.

 Copra oil Technology and equipment

    Flowchart:  

      Copra → Clearing→Crusher→low temperature Roaster→Pressing→-Crude oil →Filter→Crude copra oil  

                                                                                                      ↓                                                           ↓

     Clearing section 

 The dry coconut with water content of 10% - 12% was transported to the automatic scale to remove the iron partical through the magnetic chamber.

   Copra Crushing section

 It was broken into particles with a diameter of about 0.3cm, and the particles were pressed into thin sheets to expand the surface of coconut dry oil.

   Low temperature Roaster 

Under this condition, the fat cells ruptured and phospholipid precipitated and the moisture content decreased to 8-10% due to the rupture of fat cells and the precipitation of phospholipid in the horizontal steaming/hot air pot  at 115 ℃. 

  Pressing section 

adopt screw press to press out enough Crude Copra oil ,get the coconut cake residual oil was 7% after pressing continuously.

Characteristics of the product: 

1 the color of the oil is light 8 / 50 (measured by Luo Weipeng method) 

2 cakes are light brown, the highest residual oil is 7% 

3 coconut cake thickness is the same, about 3 mm ,fine powder does not exceed 5%

Virgin Coconut Oil technology and Equipment

The virgin squeezed coconut oil can be pressed by cold pressing at low temperature. Under the environment of not higher than 60 degrees at room temperature, the coconut oil can be squeezed, which preserves the rich nutrition and unique natural flavor of coconut oil, and can meet the needs of market users for eating coconut oil. 

The production line is generally composed of fibre remover, sheller, peeling machine, grinder, juicer, centrifuge and other equipment.

 Fresh cocnut meat cleared is crushed into 30mesh ,then squeezing the crushed coconut meat to get the mixture of powder and liquid ( juice,oil) ,then seperate the liquid to get the juice and virgin coconut oil.

Copra oil refinery technology is same as palm kernel oil ,see 棕榈仁油精炼。
