  • What is Alfa Laval dewaxing?
  • Comprehensive dewaxing solutions from Alfa Laval help you cut refining costs, add revenues through oil recovery, and boost your refined edible oil yield. Dewaxing is critical to enhancing edible oil stability as well as preventing crystal formation and cloudiness at low temperatures.
  • Why is dewaxing important?
  • Dewaxing is critical to enhancing edible oil stability as well as preventing 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 conventional dewaxing?
  • Conventional dewaxing is the common oil dewaxing method with the working principle of freezing and then mechanically separating oil & wax without any auxiliary means, the separating methods are usually pressure filtration, vacuum filtration, and centrifugal separation. Conventional dewaxing is the simplest oil crystallization and filtration method.
  • What is the difference between fractionation and dewaxing?
  • While fractionation is by using the differences of glycerol’s melting point and solubility to obtain solid fats & liquid oils from raw material. During oil dewaxing winterization, oil is kept at low temperature for a period of time and then filtered to remove solid impurities that can cause liquid oil become cloudy.
  • How does dry dewaxing work?
  • The dry dewaxing process involves mixing the oil with filter aid powder, followed by cooling and maturation. Slow cooling ensures that any crystals formed do not prompt blockage of the filter. Dosing the filter aid powder acts as a control for seeding for crystal growth.
  • Does wet dewaxing remove wax?
  • In most of the cases, it is important to note that wet dewaxing alone removes sufficient amounts of wax to achieve the oil stability required to pass the 24-hour cold test; this is based on average quality sunflower oil with the wax content 600 ppm.
