  • What is dewaxing & winterization?
  • Dewaxing or Winterization is a process to remove solids (saturated glycerides or waxes) from oil. These solids cause cloudiness in oil at low temperature. This process is suitable for oils like Sunflower Oil, Cottonseed Oil, Corn Oil, Ricebran Oil etc which have wax contents more than permissible limit.
  • Is dewaxing required for edible oil refining?
  • Dewaxing may be the fifth process considered for the edible oil refining. It is not a compulsory process and it is not required for every type of oil. Dewaxing is performed only for high wax containing oils such as Sunflower Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Corn Oil etc.
  • Why is dewaxing necessary?
  • Dewaxing is necessary to enhance edible oil stability and prevent crystal formation and cloudiness at low temperatures. Getting the most out of crude sunflower, corn and cottonseed oils requires the right system optimized to your process requirements.
  • What is Alfa Laval's role in dewaxing?
  • Alfa Laval provides comprehensive dewaxing solutions that help cut refining costs, add revenues through oil recovery, and boost refined edible oil yield. Dewaxing is a crucial process for enhancing edible oil stability and preventing crystal formation and cloudiness at low temperatures.
  • What is a tinytech dewaxing plant?
  • Dewaxing is performed only for high wax containing oils such as Sunflower Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Corn Oil etc. Tinytech Dewaxing Plants are incorporated with intrinsically designed Crystallizer Equipments which are specially made of very slow cooling with continuous agitation for better heat transfer.
  • Why is Filter Aid powder used in dry dewaxing?
  • Filter Aid powder is used in the dry dewaxing process to act as a control for seeding for crystal growth. Because phosphatides promote crystal growth, bleaching to remove these compounds takes place before the dry dewaxing process. The filter aid powder is a consumable that cannot be reused, and the amount of filter aid is related to the amount of wax in the feed oil.
