Working Process
ADVANCED PROCESSES REDUCING HUMAN INTERACTION IN PRODUCTION BY RELATIVELY 85%
DE-SHELLING
The outer hard shell of the coconut is removed by a specially designed machine (de-shelling Machine), by a skilled workforce.
PARING & WASHING
The first and last step of a human to touch the naked coconuts. Using a specially designed knife (Paring Knife) the outer brownish skin of the coconut is removed. The coconuts are then washed and cleaned before they enter the next level
CUTTING & SHREDDING
Using a pre-cutter machine the white kernel is cut into 4-6 parts, it then goes to the main cutter for shredding. To increase the surface area this is essential as it helps to facilitate efficient drying.
DRYING
To avoid the denaturing of vitamins and nutrients in Virgin Coconut Oil, the dryer maintains a temperature below 60 0C and desiccated coconut comes out of the expelling process. The dryer maintains the moisture level in desiccated coconut below 2.0%.
COOLING & EXPELLING
Before being taken into the expelling operation, desiccated coconut is cooled to avoid overheating inside the expeller machine. Specially designed expeller machines for Virgin Coconut Oil are used for the expelling operation. Inside the machine, desiccated coconut is squeezed, and pure Virgin Coconut Oil comes out through the filters of the expeller machines
FILTERING
The filter press is used to filter the crude virgin coconut oil. In this machine 100% cotton cloths are used for filtering, and sediment remains on the cloth. Filtered oil comes out through the tap lines of the filter press. The filtering process is done under pressure.
SEDIMENTATION & STORING
Filtered oil is pumped into storage tanks and is kept 7 days for settling. During the settling period, all remaining micro sediments will be settled at the bottom of the tank.
PACKING
Settled oil is sent to the automated filling machine through a series of micron filters. In accordance with most certificates, a fully sealed product comes out with the required packing option.
