1-200 tpd avocado oil processing plant
Higher Yield, Lower Energy, Better avocado Oil Quality!
Continuous cold pressing
Stable oil yield
Full Utilization of By-products
Avocado contains various essential nutrients required by the human body and is widely regarded as an important fruit. Its fruit content ranges from 60% to 75%, depending on the variety. The main oil components are concentrated in the fruit flesh. An avocado oil processing plant is used to extract oil from the avocado fruit flesh, and the extracted oil can be used in cooking, cosmetics, and the medical field.
Why invest in an avocado oil processing plant?
- Growing Health Awareness: the concern of people for heart health, absence of additives, and plant-based nutrition is growing, promoting the demand for avocado oil as a superior edible oil alternative.
- Value-Added Opportunity: The extracted oil from avocados can increase product value, expand sales potential, and offer a longer shelf life than fresh fruit.
- Cross-Industry Demand: Its continuous application in the food, cosmetics, nutritional supplements, and pharmaceutical sectors reduces reliance on a single industry and enhances income stability.
- Premium & Natural Trends: The international pursuit of natural, low-processing, and sustainable ingredients provides strong support for the long-term demand for avocado oil.
- Export Growth Potential: The consumption growth in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions has provided strong development opportunities for export-oriented processing facilities.
process of avocado oil processing plant
step 1: Cleaning
Choosing a high-quality avocado, washing, and removing dirt and impurities.
step 2: Peeling and shelling
Use specialized equipment to remove seeds and peels, saving labor and improving efficiency.
Step 3: crushing
Crushing avocado into small pieces. The particle size is approximately half that of a grain of rice.
Step 4: Cold pressing or extraction
Use specially designed cold-pressing machinery for low-temperature pressing, with high oil yield and without damaging the nutritional components in avocado oil. Or, mix the ground avocados in a 1:3 weight ratio into the extraction solution. After the obtained mixture is filtered and the extraction solvent is removed, crude avocado oil is obtained.
Step 5: Drying and dehydration
Place the filtrate in a distillation apparatus and heat it under medium pressure to remove the moisture. Thereby, obtain avocado oil. The color of the oil appears bright green.
Step 6: Filter residue pressing
Filter residue and conduct twice bake. The first baking temperature is 200-260℃for 10-20 seconds. The second baking temperature is 70-80℃for 20-30 minutes. Subsequently, the crude avocado oil is extracted by a low-temperature pressing machine and filtered to obtain avocado oil and protein cake.
Step 7: Refining
To obtain pure avocado oil, the crude avocado oil needs to undergo refining. The refining process includes degumming, desalination, and deodorization, etc.
Step 8: Mixing and filling
After refining, the oil needs to be added with antioxidants to extend the shelf life. Finally, using an automatic quantitative filling machine, the qualified avocado oil is filled into dry containers, and then the containers are sealed to make the final product.
