Abstract
AbstractSoybean is the most widespread oilseed processed around the world, but the technology used in its processing is often extrapolated erroneously for the processing of other material. This paper will examine the traditional process, consisting of stacked desolventizer‐toasters (D.T.), horizontal rotary steam dryers and air coolers, and make an analysis for its convenience in the processing of soft seeds such as rapeseed and sunflower. Factors affecting the sizing of the desolventizers are considered. An analysis also is made of alternate techniques such as combined desolventizer‐toaster‐dryer‐cooler (D.T.D.C.), desolventizer‐toaster‐cooler (D.T.C.) and desolventizer‐cooler (D.C.) systems, vertical rotary air dryers, vertical fixed and rotary air coolers or combined air dryers and coolers, vacuum dryers and coolers and fluidized bed coolers and penumatic cooling and conveying. Comparisons of energy, air flow and steam consumption are outlined.
