Residual oil content in white flakes
BUCHI NIR-Online® sensors for residual oil control in white flakes: Residual oil, moisture, and hexane with NIR
Monitoring residual oil in soybean white flakes after the extraction step of soybean crushing process, is critical for maximizing oil yield. In addition, this ensures optimum quality of the soybean meal. Rapid and accurate determination of residual oil in white flakes is crucial to optimize the operating parameters of the extractor such as temperature, flake/solvent ratio or extraction time. With the installation of a BUCHI NIR-Online® process analyzer after the extractor parameters such as Resudual oil, moisture or hexane have been successfully analyzed with NIR in order to monitor and document the extraction process in a fast, simple, and reliable way.
