Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes first pressed degummed oil from crude commercial oil?
FPD is produced by cold screw expelling followed by water degumming to remove hydratable phosphatides and mucilage before export.
Why do industrial equipment and gear lubricant manufacturers select first pressed degummed oil?
Its low ash and reduced gum content suit industrial equipment and gearboxes.
What commercial lot sizes are supplied for degummed grade oil?
Supplied on enquiry in 20ft container loads (drums/IBCs) or bulk tanker trucks from our plant.
