Edible Oil Refinery Technology

FX-Lecithin Drying Plant

Hydrated gums from the water degumming process are carefully homogenized before being fed into a specially designed scraped-surface thin-film evaporator. In this evaporator, moisture is efficiently removed, transforming the gum into dry lecithin. The feedstock’s residual moisture content is reduced to just 0.5% from an initial 50%, ensuring high-quality lecithin production.
