Lecithin
The horizontal SAKO dries the wet le-
cithin sludges produced in the degum-
ming stage in one single step to a
moisture content below 1%. This hori-
zontal thin film evaporator processes
the lecithin, which passes highly viscous
phases during drying/dehydration,
very gently under vacuum at tempera-
tures up to a maximum of 120°C.
Subsequent fast cooling to a tempera-
ture below 60°C improves the storage
capability of the dehydrated lecithin.
Vitamin E/A
Our multi-stage short path evapora-
tion systems are successfully used for
the concentration and separation of
natural tocopherol (Vitamin E) from
soy oil.
Tocotrienol (Vitamin E) und beta caro-
tene (Vitamin A) are obtained from
palm oil. The high vacuums achieved
in our short path units allow these very
temperature sensitive substances to be
processed at very low temperatures.
