Refining of Vegetable Oils

The vegetable oil produced by pressing and/or extraction contains a few impurities to be removed in the following refining process. Apart from separators and filters for degumming and bleaching, CPM SKET GmbH offers even equipment for alkaline or physical deacidification with following deodorization.

Whenever possible under technological aspects, CPM SKET GmbH offers the deacidification and deodorization by means of physical refining (distillative deacidification) as cost-saving and environmentally compatible method. The use of energy-saving packing columns should be specifically noted. These columns are suited even in modes of operation where frequent product changes with a minimum of product losses are required.

Refined oils may be further upgraded through winterization, wax removal and catalytic hydration (hardening).

The refined vegetable oil produced in plants made by CPM SKET meets high quality requirements so that it is assessed with the highest quality awards to DGF and AOCS codes and standards. This high quality forms the initial point for further product upgrading and/or product development.
