Lecithin Processing Solutions
Mehar Engineering provides complete Lecithin Processing Plants designed to produce high-quality lecithin for the food, feed, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries. Our customized production lines combine advanced processing technology with reliable performance, ensuring consistent product quality, high efficiency, and cost-effective operation.
Feed Grade Lecithin
Feed grade lecithin is widely used in animal feed as a natural emulsifier that improves the digestion and absorption of nutrients. It helps enhance feed efficiency, supports healthy animal growth, and contributes to better overall livestock performance.
The production process begins with the water degumming of crude soybean oil, where phospholipids are separated and carefully dried to produce high-quality feed grade lecithin. Mehar Engineering offers production lines with capacities ranging from 3 to 150 tons per day, tailored to meet different production requirements.
Food Grade Lecithin
Food grade lecithin is an essential ingredient in the food industry, serving as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and release agent. It improves product texture, enhances consistency, and extends shelf life in products such as bakery items, chocolates, confectionery, dairy products, margarine, sauces, and salad dressings.
Our food grade lecithin plants use advanced solvent extraction and purification technology, including centrifugation and filtration, to remove impurities and produce premium-quality lecithin that meets food industry standards. Mehar Engineering provides production capacities from 3 to 150 tons per day.
Transparent Lecithin
Transparent lecithin is a highly refined product specially developed for applications where product clarity and appearance are important. It is commonly used in beverages, nutritional supplements, cosmetics, and clear emulsions.
This product is manufactured using Thin Film Evaporation (TFE) technology under vacuum conditions, allowing efficient moisture removal while preserving the natural properties of lecithin. Mehar Engineering supplies transparent lecithin production lines with capacities from 5 to 50 tons per day.
Powder Lecithin
Powder lecithin offers excellent handling, storage, and formulation advantages. It is widely used in dry food mixes, instant beverages, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, bakery products, and nutritional formulations.
The production process involves acetone extraction, followed by advanced drying methods such as fluidized bed or hot air drying to produce a fine, free-flowing powder with high phospholipid content and excellent stability. Mehar Engineering provides powder lecithin processing plants with capacities ranging from 5 to 50 tons per day.
