Edible oil dewaxing systems
To ensure the transparency and stability of edible oils such as sunflower, corn, and cottonseed oils, it is crucial to remove waxes that can cause cloudiness and crystal formation at low temperatures.
Enhancing oil clarity and yield
The dewaxing systems offered by Alfa Laval provide comprehensive solutions to effectively separate waxes and impurities from crude oils. These systems combine physical refining processes like cold enzymatic degumming and cold chemical refining techniques that include wet, dry, and combination dewaxing. These techniques ensure that the oils meet industry standards for stability and clarity. Alfa Laval’s multi-wax system and combi-wax system employ advanced technologies, such as inline centrifugal separators and filtration processes, to optimize oil quality and ensure high yields with minimal losses. The dewaxing systems are fully automated and designed for straightforward operation, offering increased operational reliability and efficiency.
