Engineered Pumping for Vegetable Oil Extraction
Vegetable oil extraction and refining covers a wide viscosity and temperature range — from low-viscosity hexane solvent and miscella to viscous crude oil, lecithin and soapstock.
Target Marketing provides ATEX-rated solvent pumps, viscous-fluid gear pumps, sealless magnetic drives and hygienic AODDs from Viking Pump, Richter, Sandpiper and Dupro — covering solvent extraction, distillation, refining and packing.

Pumping Challenges in Veg Oil Extraction
Flammable Hexane Solvent
Hexane is highly volatile and flammable — ATEX-rated zero-leak containment with magnetic drive or canned-motor pumps is mandatory.
Wide Viscosity Range
From thin solvent to thick lecithin and soapstock — positive-displacement and gear hydraulics are essential to span the range reliably.
Hot Edible Oil
Refined oil at elevated temperature requires food-grade construction with thermal-resistant elastomers and seal materials.
Veg Oil Plant Pumping Applications
ATEX-rated transfer of low-viscosity flammable solvent.
Hexane/oil mixture from extractor to distillation column.
Extracted crude vegetable oil to refining stage.
Polished refined oil to storage and packaging.
Phosphatides and high-viscosity lecithin handling.
Caustic neutralization waste to soap-stock processing.
Bleaching earth slurry, citric acid & antioxidants dosing.
Wash water and effluent transfer to treatment.
