White flake desolventization for oilseed processing
Optimize your oilseed processing with a system designed to efficiently desolventize white flakes, enhancing product quality, reducing hexane losses, and ensuring maximum flake integrity in your production line.
Desolventizes and Preserves White Flake Integrity
The Down Draft Desolventizer (DDD) from Crown Iron Works is engineered specifically for oilseed processors requiring effective desolventization of white flakes. This system uses a series of heated trays to gently process flakes while preserving their structural integrity, which is crucial for producing high PDI soybean meal. The DDD is a key component in applications like oilseed processing, biofuel production, and plant protein extraction, offering reduced hexane losses below 500 PPM for operational cost savings. With a processing capacity of up to 10 tons per day, it requires less than 40hp, emphasizing energy efficiency with its low-pressure indirect steam mechanism. The compact design minimizes floor space usage, while fewer moving parts lead to lower maintenance demands and reduced downtime. Fully adaptable to your specific production needs, Crown’s DDD is suitable for continuous or semi-automatic operations, seamlessly integrating upstream and downstream with extractors and toasters to enhance your production line’s flexibility and efficiency.
