The present invention relates to oil extraction facilities, and more particularly to an oil leaching and extraction assembly capable of repeated separation.
As many crops, such as soybeans, peanuts and tea seeds, contain plenty of oil, they are used to extract oil. The mostly used methods of oil extraction are pressing and leaching. By way of pressing, extracted oil is of good quality so in most circumstances, oil in tea seeds are extracted in this way. By oil leaching method, oil containing elements are submerged in solvent to leach the oil, which can be separated from the solvent by distillation.
