Anderson Wet Extruders – SOLVEX

New or used, we can find it for you! The Anderson Solvex Expander accepts flaked oilseeds or press-cakes, through continuous feed and mechanically works the oilseeds within the barrel. The design of the shaft and barrel in conjunction with controllable steam injection provide the necessary shear, temperature and moisture to increase the availability of free oil and restructure the material into strong porous collets. Due to the high shaft speed and discontinuous worm design, the material is quickly brought to process temperature conditions. The total residence time within the barrel is less than twenty seconds with the material at maximum temperature for only a few seconds.
