Preparation of oil bearing material prior to its Extraction is often under estimated by many processors. To achieve the best results in solvent Extraction, the way in which the raw material is prepared is almost as important as Extraction Equipment’s itself. The feed stock should have a particle size small enough to enable the solvent to reach right up to the core, but at the same time not so small as to constitute ‘ fines’ , should have fairly uniform particle size in order to ‘pack well’ in the Extractor and

Form a homogenous bed and should possess good percolation chacterstics. Too big pieces in the feed results in high residual oil content in meal as the solvent may not able to penetrate to the core. And too small particles or fines will lead to poor percolation and channelling effect, thus resulting in poor performance of the plant.

Fully conscious of the importance of proper preparation, SPARKTECH have, after a long experience, developed a complete range of preparatory equipment suited for each type of raw material.
