Why Austria needs bleaching earth & filter aid
Austria is a landlocked, highly industrialised economy with steel, machinery and automotive supply industries, supplied via Koper and Hamburg.
Bleaching earth is consumed in every batch of refined edible oil, at roughly 0.5–2% of oil weight, so refineries order it on a fixed schedule.
Edible oil milling & refining in Austria
Austria crushes and refines oilseeds for its domestic market. Refineries need activated bleaching clay and filter aid on a predictable schedule; mills need conveyors and bearings; packers need barrels and PET preforms.
In Austria, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants buy bleaching earth & filter aid from us mainly for edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) and mineral and lubricant oil re-refining.
