  • What is copra oil production line process?
  • Copra oil production line process: Copra → Cleaning → Drying → Crushing → Softening → Pre-pressing → Double pressing → Filtration → Crude oil tank → Refining section → Refined copra oil Copra oil production line 1. Copra transportation: The raw material copra is in block form and is not suitable for transportation by elevator; 2.
  • What is copra used for?
  • Copra, after extraction of oil, leaves a residue which is palatable oil cake (or copra meal or mash). It is used in animal feeds, mainly for ruminants. It is used as fodder for horses, cattle, sheep and deer. Its high protein content (and oil content) is fattening for stock.
  • How is dry copra extracted?
  • More commonly, the dry copra is first extracted by the solvent-free method using expellers to obtain better quality coconut oil. Then the residue is processed through solvent extraction plant using food-grade hexane as a solvent to extract the residual coconut oil (8 to 12%). Dry copra may be extracted directly in solvent extraction plants.
  • What is the difference between solvent extraction and copra meal?
  • The coconut oil obtained by solvent extraction is generally refined to remove free fatty acids, bleached to reduce colour and even deodorized, depending on the intended end-uses. The solvent extracted copra meal can still contain residual 2 to 4% coconut oil.
