The Pilot Plant facility consists of a preparation building and an explosion proof building to house our extraction processing equipment. In the area of preparation the pilot plant can continuously hot dehull, crack, aspirate, flake, extrude, expell, hammer mill, and dry/condition material before extraction. In the area of extraction, Crown's Models III, IV, V, and our new Continuous Supercritical Extractor are being put on line in such a way that the prep area can feed to any of the four extractors. These four extractors have the capability of feeding to either our traditional desolventizer or our edible desolventizing systems. In the area of refining, we have an interesterification, hydrogenation, and winterization skid along with another for refining, bleaching and deodorization. In addition to the above areas Crown has other R&D technologies that are being piloted in our facility.

 

 

Our hours of operation are: Monday through Friday 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM CST
