Comparative Study of Coconut Oil Extraction Method, OilCocos
Cold pressing and hot extraction represent two contemporary coconut oil extraction methods that prioritize different aspects: quality and yield respectively. The cold pressing method involves pressing the coconut meat, also known as copra, in a steel press where the temperature is controlled to not exceed 120°F (49°C).
Copra is essentially dried coconut meat. Copra is used to make refined coconut oil, cold pressed coconut oil and even most raw coconut oils. Now at first, dried coconut meat may not sound all that bad. That is until you learn how it’s made. The coconut meat is usually dried in ovens at temperatures over 80˚c or left out in the fields to dry
Breaking Down the Basics of Copra Oil Processing
Processing copra oil. Traditionally, processors feed flaked copra into stacked cooking and drying vessels, which reduce the moisture levels down to about 3 or 4% by weight. Then, dried flakes are crushed in a screw press expeller to separate the copra oil from the solid meal. Containing up to 70% oil by weight, coconuts have the highest oil
After proper cooking, it is fed into the expeller continuously and pressed twice, and then filtered by means of an oil filter. Screw oil press is such an expeller that process copra into coconut oil. It could process copra from 1 ton per day to 18 ton per day but only take about 1-2m ² area. The oil left in the cake is less than 6%.
Extraction Methods of Virgin Coconut Oil and Palm‐pressed Mesocarp Oil
2 COCONUT OIL AND VIRGIN COCONUT OIL. RBD CO or copra oil and VCO are extracted from the kernel of coconuts (Cocos nucifera L.). Coconut trees belongs to the family Arecaceae and is well known for its hundred uses with limitless application throughout the world, such as sources of timber, fiber and biofuel.
In coconut farming, copra is produced by removing the husk of a mature coconut and then extracting the white flesh inside. The flesh is then dried either by sun drying or by using mechanical dryers until it is completely dry and brittle. Once dried, the copra is usually sold to processing plants where it is further processed into coconut oil
Screw Oil Press Machine process of pressing copra
The characteristics of coconut oil meal produced by a well-maintained screw press are as follows: 1. The oil is light in color, R8Y50, measured by the Lovibond method, 2. The cake is light brown, with a high residual oil of 8%, 3. Coconut cake The thickness is the same, about 0.6mm, and the fine powder does not exceed 6%. The operation of the

Copra/Coconut Oil Milling Process, Offered by Oil Mill Plant
Copra, the dried kernel is the chief commercial product from coconut, which is mainly used for oil extraction. Copra normally has an oil content varying from 65 to 72 per cent. The quality of an ISO certified coconut oil is related to the quality of copra we use. The most commonly coconut oil is refined, bleached and deodorised coconut oil or
Processing dry copra through expellers generally offers about 60% yield (as high as 70%) of coconut oil based of dry weight. About 30 to 40% is oil cake. Typically, one thousand mature coconuts weigh about 1440 kg and yield about 170 kg of copra from which around 70 lit of coconut oil can be extracted.
