Efficient desolventization and toasting solution for oilseeds
Optimize solvent removal and toasting in your oilseed processing with this versatile desolventizer-toaster solution, designed to maintain product integrity and efficiency across a range of applications.

Desolventizes and Toasts Oilseed Products
The Desolventizer-Toaster from Crown Iron Works is an essential component for efficiently processing oilseed products. This equipment utilizes a vertically oriented, multiple-tray system with indirect heat transfer to desolventize and toast solvent-wet products. Capable of handling various applications like vegetable oil, biodiesel, and CBD oil production, it supports both pilot and large-scale operations. The integration of direct and indirect heating reduces equipment size and enhances process efficiency. With automatic level controls and counter-current desolventization, it ensures consistent product quality. Its robust construction, including steam chests and sweep arms, minimizes maintenance concerns. Additionally, it offers significant energy savings through optimized design and material options suitable for diverse industry needs.
