Successful Use of Decanters for Vegetable Oil Clarification
Let's consider two examples of the successful use of Flottweg technology for sunflower oil clarification.
AO Kazan Oil Extraction Plant is one of the largest oilseed processing plant in Russia. In 2018, they decided to install an additional decanter. AO KMEZ decided to implement a Flottweg decanter Z6E-4/401. The decanter operates 24/7 hours and clarifies pressed oil with a capacity of up to 750 tons per day. Due to its specific features, the German decanter delivers the clarified oil in constant quality, even with variable parameters of the pressed oil at the feed.
ZAO Pavlovskagroprodukt from Voronezh region also produces vegetable oils from sunflower seeds. In 208 the technology of pressed oil clarification with partial hydration based on Flottweg decanter Z5E-4/401 was introduced. According to the results obtained in more than three years, it can be stated that the decision taken by the ZAO Pavlovskagroprodukt management to implement the Flottweg decanter was correct and justified.
