  • How is copra oil made?
  • Copra oil is pressed from dried coconut meat. Harvesting coconuts for copra is a labor-intensive process. Farmers and plantation workers manually remove the fibrous outer husk, then split open the coconut shell to drain the liquid.
  • What are the steps of copra oil mill plant?
  • At the copra oil mill plant, the copra undergoes the following steps: Copra Drying, Copra Cutting, Cooking / Conditioning, Pressing, Filtration, Oil storage and Filling. The Copra dryer is used to dry fresh coconut kernel from 35 – 40% moisture content to 5 – 7% using hot air.
  • What is the moisture content of copra?
  • Moisture content of copra is about 3 percent when it leaves the conditioner. Oil extraction: In the expeller, the milled copra is subjected to high-pressure oil extraction. The temperature of the oil should be kept at about 93-102oC (200-215oF) to produce light coloured oil and effect good extraction.
  • How is copra oil filtered?
  • Two filter presses are provided - one on duty while the other is being cleaned and dressed. Maximum filtering pressures reach about 60 psi. The filtered oil flows into a surge tank from where it is finally pumped to the coconut oil storage tank. Coconut oil produced from good quality copra is clear, low in fatty acid and has good coconut aroma.
