The Deutsche Process Mechanical Extraction Unit, “MEU”, is a highly flexible batch style steeping extraction system paired with continuous or batch style oil-solvent separation equipment. The core design consists of a steeping tank that feeds into a solids-liquids separation unit. The separation unit then feeds the liquid to an oil-solvent continuous feed separation unit or to any number of our Surface Kettle Scraper-Solvent Condenser Receivers. The solids are sent to a drying screw where the raffinate is recovered and can be re-used. The MEU is built with solvent storage and sub-zero chilling heat exchangers and can be ran with extraction temperatures as low as 40C. Integrated with the right utilities and automated controls, the MEU is essentially a full extraction and separation operation all in one.
