Rapeseed / Canola oil seed processing lineRapeseed / Canola oil production line
Rapeseed oil is also named canola oil. Rapeseed Oil is a totally natural product. We extract the oil using a mechanical Oil Press without the using of chemicals to ensure the natural goodness of the oil is preserved. As rapeseed oil has half the saturated FAT and 10 times the Omega 3 level of Olive Oil, many top cardiologists now recommend Rapeseed Oil as part of a low cholesterol diet. In addition it is suitable for high temperature cooking as it has a much higher smoke point than extra virgin olive oil.
Rapeseed oil processing machine starts with rapeseed, with oil content 40%, more or less. Same with other common oilseeds, there’re four main sections of rapeseed oil extraction plant, including prepressing/pressing/pretreatment section, solvent extraction section, refinery section and dewaxing/winterization section.
Rapeseed oil solvent extraction plantThe main steps of rapeseed oil solvent extraction
There are four big parts in solvent extraction workshop.They are solvent system, desolventizing system, condensing system and recycling system. We can get rapeseed wet meal and crude rapeseed oil.Rapeseed wet meal can be as animal feed, crude rapeseed oil contains solid impurity, chemical impurity and smelly odour etc. So crude rapeseed oil can go to next refinery workshop.
Rapeseed oil refining plantThe main steps of rapeseed oil refining
There are four big parts in solvent extraction workshop.They are solvent system, desolventizing system, condensing system and recycling system. We can get rapeseed wet meal and crude rapeseed oil.Rapeseed wet meal can be as animal feed, crude rapeseed oil contains solid impurity, chemical impurity and smelly odour etc. So crude rapeseed oil can go to next refinery workshop.
Rapeseed Oil Pressing ProcessRapeseed Oil Processing Steps
Horizontal drum rotary cooker is designed to adjust temperature and moisture of rapeseeds flakes prior to mechanical pressing, improving oil yield greatly.
Due to high content of residue in crude oil, it is necessary to separate oil residue by oil drag conveyor firstly, crude oil then enters to settling tank for further separation. Collected residue is returned to pressing section while crude oil from settling tank is pumped to horizontal screw centrifuge or leaf filter for further removing impurities.

Rapeseed oil is widely available and public health advice encourages its use as a substitute for saturated fats as UK diet and nutrition surveys reveal we’re eating too much. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats such as rapeseed oil has been shown to reduce blood cholesterol, which is beneficial for heart health.
