Alfa Laval supplies everything you need to extract oils and fats from every type of oil-bearing crop. Alfa Laval is a world leader in the highly specialized field of systems and equipment for processing vegetable and animal fats and oils. They apply advanced – often patented – technologies in ways that set new benchmarks for the whole industry, and enable you to match your production configurations to changing market requirements.
Alfa Laval supply solutions for degumming, neutralization, dewaxing, gums drying, bleaching, winterization, deodorization, hydrogenation, deacidification and soap stock splitting.
Animal fat processingAnimal fats and fish oils are currently much in focus because of their content of high-value Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids. These are necessary for human health, but the human body is unable to produce them. Alfa Laval provides the unique combination of technology and know-how required to extract high-value proteins from animal and fish products.
Avocado oil extractionAvocado oil is traditionally made from poorer quality fruit, and often only used in cosmetics. However, Alfa Laval has developed a completely new way to produce cold-pressed avocado oil that can be used in higher-margin food products. All you need is a special washing, de-stoning and de-skinning section for avocados. You can deal with all the other extraction stages using standard high-technology Alfa Laval olive oil processing equipment.
Seed oil processingAlfa Laval supplies seed oil processing operations throughout the world with a comprehensive selection of heat transfer equipment. Putting thermal energy to the most efficient use cuts down on operating costs. It also improves the environmental profile of any seed oil operation by reducing direct emissions as well as indirect CO2-equivalents.
Only about two-thirds of the world’s production of fats and oils is considered edible for humans, or suitable as feedstuffs for animals. The rest can be used either directly to generate energy by incineration, or as a raw material for biofuels and oleochemicals. In some contexts, such fuels are considered a beneficial alternative to fossil fuels. Meeting individual requirements Alfa Laval technologies help boost the commercial viability of processing suitable fats and oils into different kinds of biofuels.
