Expander & Extruder — 50-500 TPD
Expanders turn conditioned seed into porous pellets. The denser, more open structure lets an extraction column take more throughput on the same footprint and wash it through with less solvent, and the meal that comes out has better protein solubility.
Every Expander & Extruder is built to your plant’s throughput at our Pithampur works in India and exported to solvent extraction plants and oil mills abroad — 22+ countries across five continents to date. Capacity, drive rating, your supply voltage and frequency, and the interfaces to the machines either side of it are all settled before fabrication starts.

Export Supply and Shipping
- Shipping: Containerised in sub-assemblies where the machine’s envelope allows, otherwise flat rack or break bulk; FOB Nhava Sheva or Mundra, or CIF your port.
- Electrics to destination: Motors, gearboxes and panel built for your supply — 380, 400, 415 or 440 V at 50 or 60 Hz — and CE marked where required.
- Packing: Product-contact surfaces cleaned and wrapped, machined faces preserved against sea air, and everything crated on ISPM-15 heat-treated timber.
- Erection support: General arrangement, foundation and utility drawings at order; a commissioning engineer can be deputed to run the machine in on your own feedstock.
- Documents and payment: Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, material test certificates and bill of lading; quoted in US dollars.
Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity range do your expanders cover?
Lines from 50 to 500 TPD, with steam injection of 3-8% by weight tuned to the feedstock.
What does an expander improve in the extraction process?
It raises collet bulk density by 40-50% (from 0.4-0.5 to 0.6-0.7 kg/L) and creates a porous structure that cuts solvent consumption by 15-25% — the extractor processes more material per pass with less solvent.
Is the expander customised to my requirement?
Yes. Every machine we build is custom-engineered — capacity, dimensions, and configuration are matched to your line. Send your requirement via the enquiry form or call +91 91091 02280 for a firm quote.
Can you export the Expander & Extruder and support the erection at our plant?
Yes. We have supplied oil seed processing equipment to buyers in 22+ countries across five continents. The machine is containerised in sub-assemblies where its envelope allows, and a commissioning engineer can be deputed to erect it and run it in on your own feedstock.
