Production of rapeseed oil

Rapeseed oil (Rapeseed oil) - is a vegetable oil obtained from high-quality rapeseed, rich in high content of useful and so essential for our body of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which differentiates it greatly from other vegetable oils.

It is used in many industries. Crude rapeseed oil is one of the most important components in the production of XXI century fuel - biofuel (biodiesel). Biofuel is an alternative to diesel fuel, it is environmentally friendly and is made from plant (renewable) raw materials.

Production of crude rapeseed oil by means of a single final hot pressing, using oil-extraction units made in Germany and Russia. Primary refining of oil is carried on the filter GNP -30, 20.

The presence of grain drying and storage complexes, during the mass harvesting of rape, allows quickly toget, clean, dry and load into stores 65 thousand tons of rapeseed.

For the last 15 years, the company recycles double-nil varieties of rapeseed.

Today the main production processes about 5,000 tons of rapeseed per month, oil yield is 37%.

Each stage of production is controlled by the laboratory.

Markets for Rapeseed oil sales: the internal and external (Germany, Netherlands, Poland, the Baltic countries and others).

Shipment of oil produced is carried into car and in railway tanks.

Physico-chemical indicators of produced rapeseed oil meets the requirements of the standard STB 1486-2004 / Standard STB 1486-2004 (Belarus). Actual values are given in the table below. If necessary, on some characteristics oil quality can be improved.

A by-product of processing is cake, which is used as a protein supplement in animal feed production. The content of crude protein in rapeseed cake is 34%.

Due to its quality specifications finished products meet the regulations and have certificates of conformity, origin.

Today the main production employs about 80 people.

In the company's plans - the expansion of production facilities both in grain drying and storage facilities, and in processing.
