  • How does a copra machine work?
  • An all-in-one machine, it crushes and presses the copra or coconut, follow by oil extraction. Traditionally, the copra or coconut are pressed and crushed and transferred to another machine to be extracted. The precise dimension and construction of each parts of the screw press are vital to ensure the final performance of our oil seed expellers.
  • What is copra used for?
  • Copra, after extraction of oil, leaves a residue which is palatable oil cake (or copra meal or mash). It is used in animal feeds, mainly for ruminants. It is used as fodder for horses, cattle, sheep and deer. Its high protein content (and oil content) is fattening for stock.
  • What is copra oil expeller?
  • Copra oil expeller is a continuous oil press machine for once pressing of copra or the second pressing of pre-pressed copra cake in the coconut oil production line to obtain coconut oil. The operations from copra feeding, copra cooking, oil pressing and cake discharging are achieved automatically and continuously.
  • How is dry copra extracted?
  • More commonly, the dry copra is first extracted by the solvent-free method using expellers to obtain better quality coconut oil. Then the residue is processed through solvent extraction plant using food-grade hexane as a solvent to extract the residual coconut oil (8 to 12%). Dry copra may be extracted directly in solvent extraction plants.
  • What is the difference between copra and coconut pulp?
  • Coconut pulp after dried is copra which can be pressed for oil and the cake is used as animal feed. Averagely 1000 coconuts can yield 180 kg of copra, which yield 120 kg of oil. Coconut oil produced from copra is mainly used for industrial purpose.
  • How much coconut oil is in a copra meal?
  • The solvent extracted copra meal can still contain residual 2 to 4% coconut oil. Processing dry copra through expellers generally offers about 60% yield (as high as 70%) of coconut oil based of dry weight. About 30 to 40% is oil cake.
