Why Cambodia needs bleaching earth
Cambodia is a fast-growing garment-export and construction economy, with Sihanoukville as its only deep-water port and Phnom Penh as the main market.
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 Cambodia
Edible-oil refineries in Cambodia depend on bleaching earth, filter aid, caustic soda and citric acid for every batch, plus conveyors to move seed and meal. We supply the consumables, handling equipment and packaging from one source.
In Cambodia, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants buy bleaching earth from us mainly for edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) and mineral and lubricant oil re-refining.
