  • How to start a virgin coconut oil mill plant?
  • Here we have listed some of the basic machinery required to Start a Virgin Coconut Oil Mill Plant: For VCO extraction, the fresh whole coconuts undergo the following steps: Coconut De-Husking, De-Watering, De-Shelling, Coconut Meat Disintegrating, Hot Air Drying, Cold Pressing, Oil Filtration & Storage.
  • What are the different types of coconut oil milling process?
  • Coconut oil milling process or technologies are classified into two major types: the dry and the wet processes. The coconut oil processing starts with copra as the raw material is termed as the dry process, while the method that uses fresh coconuts as starting material is generally called the wet process.
  • What is the dry processing of meat for coconut oil milling process?
  • Dry processing of meat for coconut oil milling process involves the conversion of coconut meat into copra prior to expelling and refining. This process is however done off-farm, in an oil mill. At the mill, the copra undergoes the following steps:
  • How is coconut oil processed?
  • The coconut oil processing starts with copra as the raw material is termed as the dry process, while the method that uses fresh coconuts as starting material is generally called the wet process. Dry processing of meat for coconut oil milling process involves the conversion of coconut meat into copra prior to expelling and refining.
  • How to extract oil from milled copra?
  • Oil extraction: In the expeller, the milled copra is subjected to high-pressure oil extraction. The temperature of the oil should be kept at about 93-102oC (200-215oF) to produce light coloured oil and effect good extraction. Screening: The oil extracted in the expeller flows into the screening tanks to remove the entrained foots from the oil.
  • Which type of copra is used for the extraction of coconut oil?
  • for the extraction of coconut oil. Dry copra is preferably used due its low moisture percentage and high oil content. Copra are delivered in ship and truck. Table 1. Components of Copra
