The Miscella Evaporator is a key piece of equipment in the edible oil solvent extraction process. It is designed to remove the solvent from miscella (the mixture of crude oil and solvent obtained after extraction). By using heating and evaporation under controlled conditions, the miscella evaporator concentrates the crude oil, reduces solvent content, and prepares it for further refining.

Applications in Oil Extraction Process

The miscella evaporator is widely used in large- and medium-scale soybean, rapeseed, sunflower seed, cottonseed, peanut, corn germ, and rice bran oil extraction plants. It is typically installed after the rotocel extractor or chain extractor and before the final stripping and desolventizing system.

Situations where miscella evaporation is essential:

1. Solvent Recovery – Reduces solvent content in crude oil for reuse, lowering production cost.
2. Crude Oil Purification – Prepares miscella for further refining by concentrating the oil.
3. Safety and Environmental Compliance – Ensures minimal solvent residue, meeting food-grade standards.
