Product Description
Dewaxing Plant
The Dewaxing Plant is used for dewaxing that is a process used to removed plant waxes and lipids from cannabis concentrate, thus creating a purer, cleaner and more stable product, which is preferred for some of the derivative products that can be made from cannabis extract. Lipids and waxes are naturally found within the plant, in varying quantities from one cultivar to another, and can affect the smoothness and flavor of a concentrate. Dewaxing is an extraction process that removes waxes and lipids from a cannabis concentrate. The offered Dewaxing Plant is made for commercial uses.
Advanced Chiller-Based Cooling TechnologyUtilizing indirect cooling with a dedicated chiller unit, the DWP-2000 ensures precise temperature control for the effective crystallization and separation of waxes. The PLC-based control system automatically maintains the setpoint temperature, enhancing reliability and facilitating optimal dewaxing performance with minimal operator involvement.
Robust Construction and Long Service LifeDesigned for industrial use, the plant features mild steel construction, a powder-coated surface, and thermal insulation using glass wool. The heating is managed by stainless steel immersion heaters for longevity and hygiene. The structure is engineered for durability, with a service life exceeding ten years under recommended operating conditions.
High Efficiency and Low MaintenanceThis automated dewaxing system achieves above 95% efficiency and can handle 1000-2000 L/day with minimal downtime. Features such as a reliable oil filtration system and low-maintenance design contribute to continued operational productivity, making it an excellent investment for small to mid-sized oil processing plants.
FAQ's of Dewaxing Plant:
Q: How does the indirect chiller-based cooling method work in the dewaxing plant?
A: The plant uses an indirect cooling system, where a chiller unit circulates coolant around the oil vessels to gradually lower the temperature. This process encourages waxes to crystallize, facilitating their separation from oils efficiently and gently, without direct contact between the chiller and the oil.
Q: What types of oils are suitable for processing in this dewaxing plant?
A: The DWP-2000 is engineered to effectively dewax both vegetable oils and animal fats, making it suitable for a variety of edible and industrial oil applications that require wax removal to meet product quality standards.
Q: When is dewaxing necessary during oil processing?
A: Dewaxing is typically performed after oil extraction and refining to remove naturally occurring waxes. This step improves clarity, enhances stability, and prevents cloudiness or sedimentation in the finished oil, ensuring compliance with quality standards.
Q: Where can this dewaxing plant be installed, and what support is available?
A: The plant is suitable for installation at industrial oil processing facilities. The manufacturer provides on-site installation support and a comprehensive operational manual, ensuring a smooth setup and start-up process.
Q: What is the process flow in the DWP-2000 dewaxing plant?
A: Oils are first loaded into the vessels, where they are heated and then gradually cooled by the indirect chiller. As the temperature drops, waxes crystallize and are separated via filtration. This automated process is managed by a PLC-based control system to maintain operational efficiency.
Q: What are the operational benefits of this automatic, PLC-controlled system?
A: With automatic PLC controls, temperature is regulated precisely and operation becomes highly efficient. The system requires minimal manual intervention, offers high process consistency, and protects against operational errors, ensuring safe and cost-effective production.
Q: How does the plant enhance safety and reliability during operation?
A: Equipped with emergency stop buttons and overload protection, the plant ensures operator safety and protects vital components from damage due to unforeseen issues or excess load. These features, along with robust construction and quality components, provide a reliable and secure working environment.
