Flash desolventization system for oilseed processing
In oilseed processing, traditional desolventization methods can often cause overheating and degradation of temperature-sensitive products. Effective and rapid solvent removal is vital to maintain quality and efficiency in these contexts.
Rapid solvent removal with precise temperature control
The Flash Desolventization System by Crown Iron Works is a pneumatic conveying dryer specifically designed for oilseed processing. It brings solvent-wet products into direct contact with superheated solvent vapors. This approach ensures that all the heat required for evaporation is provided during the initial mixing phase. As a result, the majority of the solvent is flashed off the flakes within seconds, protecting the product from overheating through evaporative cooling. The system operates in a vapor-tight controlled environment, which further preserves product integrity. Its simple design and ease of operation make it a practical choice for various industries, including biofuel, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. The vertically oriented, small footprint design also contributes to space efficiency in processing plants.
