Counter-current solvent extractor FX

In an FX Extractor, the material enters through an inlet hopper and isswiftly saturated with miscella. The feeding hopper is equipped with aminimum & maximum level controller to form a further gas lock within thehopper. At low level the feed screw conveyor will stop and at high levelthe preparatory equipment will stop. The bed of the material iscontinuously washed with counter-current stages of miscella after theinitial saturation process. The surface of the material bed is provided with rakes. These rakes alongwith belt, maintain percolation and prevent miscella contamination.Compared to shallow bed designs, the miscella has more contact time inthis one, to penetrate the flake. Hence, thicker flakes can be used toachieve the desired residual oil. This is followed by a long percolation sequence where the stages ofmiscella are kept separate stages and remaining oil is extracted. Thesimplicity of the FX-Extractor designed and made by Ferro ensures it isreliable and therefore you have a competitive edge over others. The FX-Extractor optimises Reliability and Simplicity. It is user friendly with arectangular housing enclosing a slow-moving belt, driven by a singlehead shaft. The FX Extractor boasts of reinforced strength in construction with anoptional casing. It requires minimum site work for pre-assembly, resultingin rapid and low-cost installations. It also comes with stainless-steel, self-cleaning wedge bar or mesh screen, thus being versatile for different rawmaterials.
