  • What is a medium scale copra oil mill?
  • This is one of our project in Philippine – a medium scale copra oil mill, including 20TPD oil extraction line and 10TPD oil refinery line. The daily capacity is processing 20 tons of copra (desiccated coconut) and get 10 tons of refined coconut oil. It is designed for manufacturing edible coconut oil from desiccated coconut (copra).
  • What is the moisture content of copra?
  • Moisture content of copra is about 3 percent when it leaves the conditioner. 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.
  • What is a copra cutter?
  • Copra Cutter is helpful in cutting large copra (the dried white flesh of the coconut from which coconut oil is extracted) pieces into smaller ones for oil extraction purpose. Copra cutters are manufactured with varied capacities to suit the requirement of the oil mill plant.
  • How is Copra made?
  • This process is however done off-farm, in an oil mill. At the mill, the copra undergoes the following steps: Cooking/Conditioning: The crushed copra that has about 5-6 percent moisture is passed through a steam-heated cooker. This brings the temperature of the copra to the conditioning temperature of about 104oC (220oF).
  • How is copra oil filtered?
  • Two filter presses are provided - one on duty while the other is being cleaned and dressed. Maximum filtering pressures reach about 60 psi. The filtered oil flows into a surge tank from where it is finally pumped to the coconut oil storage tank. Coconut oil produced from good quality copra is clear, low in fatty acid and has good coconut aroma.
  • 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:
