Why Luxembourg needs bleaching earth
Luxembourg is a small, high-income EU economy with steel, logistics and construction.
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 Luxembourg
Edible-oil refineries in Luxembourg 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 Luxembourg, 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.
