We are enagged in the supply and manufacture of industrial machinery. Our range includes degumming plant and dewaxing plant. Veendeep equipments processes different raw materials, of which soya beans, sunflower seed, rapeseed, rice bran, groundnuts, cottonseed and palm oil, are probably the most popular.

| Degumming Plant Degumming is the first stage in the refining process. It is sued to separate the gums, phospholipids, proteins etc… that are insoluble in oil when hydrated.
Salient features of the process are:
- Water degumming can be carried out in the Extraction Plant.
- The separated gums are added to the deoiled meal in the toaster.
- To produce lecithin, these gums are dried separately.
| Crude oil is pumped continuously to an in line mixer where in pre-calculated quantity of water is added. Oil water mixture is fed to the hydration tank and allowed sufficient residence time for the gums to agglomerate on hydration and pumped to Separator where the oil and hydrated gums are separated and pumped to storage. Some particles that are not removed by water degumming need Acid Treatment. Degummed oil from the separator is fed to a knife mixer, where it is intensively mixed with requisite quantity of concentrated phosphoric mixture and is allowed a brief holding time in the mixer and the precipitation of phosphatides and trace metals take place. |

Dewaxing Plant Sunflower, Corn and Rice bran oil is to be Dewaxed before consumption as it contains high molecular weight wax. The wax makes the oil cloudy. To obtain very clear quality of oil specially in cold conditions, oil needs to be dewaxed. If oils are stored at low temperatures , waxes, high melting tri glycerides and certain gums may separate as solids from the oil. This leads to an undesirable cloudy appearance , and many consumers may mistakenly think the oil is spoiled. Veendeep supplies the latest Dewaxing Plant. The steps for the Dewaxing/winterising process are as follows: - The oil is cooled in crystallisers and gradually the crystal formation takes place. Here filter aid is also added.
- The oil is then transferred to a maturator where the crystals are allowed to grow. The oil is continuously cooled by the help of glycol water flowing through the coils.
- Finally the oil is filtered on hermetic pressure leaf filters to remove the waxes.
- For Rice bran oil, Veendeep has developed P P Filters which are more suitable for high wax oil.
| The major advantages of this process is :
Single plant can be used for Dewaxing and Winterising. Optimum care is taken to maintain the formed crystals till filtration. Minimum filter aid consumption | |
