Coconut oil press, coconut small oil extraction machine

Coconut oil extraction has been a traditional practice for thousands of years. However, with the advancement in technology, modern methods have been introduced to make the process more efficient and effective.

This machine, which is a new product from our company, incorporates foreign technology and independent research to provide a high degree of automation. It adopts an automatic temperature control pressing process and high pressure vacuum filtration system, making it easy to operate and maintain. As a result, it has become the top choice for small scale oil making business workshops.

In addition to the single coconut oil press, we also provide turnkey solutions for complete coconut oil plants. Our team of experts is always on hand to provide guidance and support throughout the process. If you have any interest in coconut oil extracting and refining, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Modern coconut oil extraction method:

The traditional coconut oil extraction method involves boiling the coconut meat in water and skimming off the oil that floats on top. Another method involves squeezing coconut milk from coconut meat chips and allowing it to ferment naturally for 24 to 36 hours. The oil is then separated from the water and heated for short periods of time to remove the moisture. This medium-temperature heating does not harm the quality of the coconut oil.

There are various methods for coconut oil extraction, each with its own unique appearance, quality, taste, and flavor. Our team of experts can help you choose the best method for your needs and guide you through the entire process.

1. Dry processing:

Copra is used as raw materials and extracted from crusher or screw coconut oil press machine. Solvent is used for secondary extraction as a supplement of coconut oil processing to obtain the residual oil in the meal.

Coconut oil processing technology
Copra – automatic balance – magnet – grinding machine – cooking and conditioning device – screw coconut oil press machine – depositing tank – filter machine – crude coconut oil

Efficient operation of coconut oil press machine needs cooking and conditioning to control the temperature of coconut flakes between 91 ~ 93°C. The oil extraction rate of coconut flakes is lower under the condition of 91°C below and moisture content of more than 4%. When the temperature is above 93°C and water content is less than 3%, dark coconut oil and coke cake would be extracted from coconut flakes and the oil extraction rate is lower. The fine particles that are filtered out and precipitated should not exceed 10% of the fresh raw material so as to avoid the formation of fine grain in cooking and conditioning stage.

Later pressing processing: coconut oil from coconut oil press is conveyed to the screen and the oil clarifying tank to separate particles and the latter would be mixed with raw materials for reprocessing. Every tons of the upper oil would be mixed with 10kg of clay and edible oil can be obtained through the security filter machine. Coconut oil meal after storage or further processing and filtering can be sent to animal feed factory through granulation and bagging.

2. Wet processing

In the process of wet processing, fresh coconut meat is used as the raw material. In addition to the product oil, other edible by-products from coconut oil are coconut powder, protein, carbohydrates and vitamins.

Shell the ripe coconut and separate the coconut meat. Then, peel off the out coat and extract coat oil from it as a by-product. Coconut meat would be ground by the wedge and toothed crusher and roller mill. Then, coconut milk would be extracted from crushed powder and filtered through the sieve mesh conveyor, then separate out the oil layer by centrifugal separation, and the moisture in the oil is reduced to 0.1%-0.2% by air heating. Generally speaking, you can extract 6.8t “natural” coconut oil from 25t fresh coconut meat. Grind the coat residues from coconut oil extraction machine to powder to recover the oil and make coconut powder.

3. Solvent extraction

This unit is used as a supplement to the mechanical pressing method. After the quick extraction of coconut cake, the residual oil content is controlled at 14%-18%, and the residual oil in the cake is reduced to a minimum after solvent extraction.

4. Refining

The refinement of coconut oil consists of a series of steps to remove the impurity from glycerin and make the product edible and extend its shelf life. Impurities are fatty acids, phospholipids, metal ions, pigments, oxides, solid particles and unpleasant volatile gases.

Coconut oil extraction is an important process that requires expertise and technology. With our modern methods and experienced team, we can help you achieve high-quality coconut oil that meets your specific needs. Contact us today to learn more about our services.

The difference between cold pressed coconut oil and refined coconut oil

Cold pressed coconut oil is made from fresh coconut meat that is ground and then pressed to extract the oil. The process doesn’t involve any heat or chemicals, ensuring that the oil retains its original nutrients, aroma, and flavor. The liquid of this oil is clear as water and turns white after curing. It has a distinct smell and taste of coconut, making it a preferred choice for many people.

On the other hand, refined coconut oil is made from dried coconut meat, also known as copra. The oil is extracted using high heat and chemical processes to remove impurities and odor. This results in a colorless and tasteless oil that is widely used in the food industry.

While both types of coconut oil have their own benefits, cold pressed coconut oil is considered to be more nutritious and flavorful. It contains lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid that has antimicrobial properties and can boost immunity. Refined coconut oil, on the other hand, may lack some of these nutrients due to the refining process.
