Edible Oil Filtration Technology

Automated Gravity Filtration for Smarter Edible Oil Processing

Eco Plus Gravity Filters are engineered for efficient edible-oil dewaxing and winterization using a closed, low-pressure filtration system designed to reduce manual handling, improve process control and simplify filtration operations.

EPF—AGF Series

Suitable for: Rice Bran • Sunflower • Corn • Cottonseed • Sesame • Safflower

Filtration That Works Harder, So Your Team Doesn’t Have To.

Eco Plus Gravity Filters bring automation and containment to edible-oil filtration, helping plants improve productivity, cleanliness and turnaround with less manual effort.

01

Automated Operation

Feed, filtration, discharge and cleaning run in sequence, reducing hands-on work for operators.

02

Clean, Closed System

Enclosed filtration keeps oil contained, supporting a cleaner plant floor and fewer handling losses.

03

Faster Turnaround

Automated cleaning prepares the system for the next batch, helping keep downtime short.

04

Consistent Results

Controlled, repeatable cycles deliver steady filtration quality batch after batch.

Built around automation, containment and operational simplicity for modern edible-oil plants.

04

Heating System

Steam heating supports viscosity control.

05

Oil Outlet

Clarified oil returns to the refining line.

06

Cleaning Mechanism

Automated cleaning prepares the next batch.

07

Discharge System

Wax and stearin are discharged in a contained way.

08

Control Panel

Sequences feed, filtration, discharge and cleaning.

Process

From Cloudy Winterized Oil to Controlled Filtration

Step 01

Feed oil enters the filtration system.

Step 02

Low-pressure gravity filtration begins.

Step 03

Wax and stearin are retained by the filter media.

Step 04

Clarified oil exits the filtration chamber.

Step 05

Accumulated solids are discharged.

Step 06

Cleaning cycle prepares the system for the next batch.

Engineered for Multiple Edible-Oil Applications

Different oils present different wax, stearin and cold-clarity challenges. Eco Plus filtration systems can be configured according to oil characteristics and plant requirements.
