Dewaxing process for vegetable oil

The vegetable oil dewaxing is a process of separating part of the solid fat from the liquid oil in a crystalline manner. Vegetable oil dewaxing plant can greatly increase the value of edible oil. Not all the curde edible oil need vegetable oil dewaxing process, only a few types edible oils need dewaxing process, they are sunflower oil, rice bran oil, corn germ oil.

What is the purpose of vegetable oil dewaxing process plant?

Improve the vegetable oil low-temperature storage performance , and obtain a liquid oil with a lower saturation level.

The method for dewaxing process of vegetable oil:

Generally,the melting point is different between wax and fat,it is much higher for wax.Because its high melting point,basically,it is dissolved in the oil by a state of molecular dispersion,when the temperature is reduced under its melting point,the wax will crystallize to solid.So We can reduce the temperature of the oil,let wax crystallize out of the oil.

There are filter press filtration method and centrifugation method to remove the wax out of the oil.
