Rice Bran Solvent Extraction Plant, Certification : ISO 9001:2008

Rice bran is the by-product obtained during rice milling operation. It is the golden reddish outer layer obtained after removal of husk and during polishing of rice. Rice bran contains 16 to 22% oil and this oil is recovered by solvent extraction process. Rice bran being floury material, it is essential to pelletize the bran before being put to solvent extraction process. The process of Solvent Extraction involves the injection of hexane into the oil bearing materials resulting in a mix of oil and solvent, called miscella. Hexane from miscella is later evaporated using Distillation unit and resulting in unrefined oil. Hexane so evaporated is condensed and can be recycled.
