The soybean seeds, after cleaning and conditioning are taken into a solvent bath for oil extraction. The soybean oil dissolves in the solvent and separates out in the form of miscella. By means of a multi-stage distillation system, the solvent is recovered and the balance material i.e. solvent extracted soybean oil is sent to the storage tank.
