Industrial oil bleaching process
Optimize your oil purification process with advanced bleaching technology, significantly enhancing purity while reducing operational costs and resource consumption.

Enhances Oil Purity through Efficient Bleaching
The DoublePass Bleaching System from Crown Iron Works is a specialized solution designed for oilseed processors and biodiesel producers seeking enhanced purification and efficiency in their production lines. This system utilizes a dual-stage bleaching approach, pre-bleaching with sorbents followed by final bleaching with clay, improving filtration and minimizing oil loss while reducing bleaching clay consumption. It’s particularly suited for processing hemp oil isolates, CBD tinctures, and various edible oils like canola and sunflower.
Crown’s DoublePass Bleaching System operates continuously, integrating seamlessly into existing processing lines with PLC-controlled automation for precision and reduced manual intervention. The system’s energy efficiency is heightened by its optimized mixing and drying operations, featuring screw feeders for continuous sorbent addition and a pre-coat filter system that extends filter cycle times and lowers maintenance demands. Crafted from durable stainless steel, this equipment offers robust corrosion resistance essential for maintaining high purity in oil and fats processing. Backed by Crown’s engineering support, the system can be adapted to specific processing needs, ensuring alignment with industry certification requirements.
