Why Sweden needs filter aid
Sweden has world-class mining, steel, automotive and engineering industries, with Gothenburg as Scandinavia's largest port.
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 Sweden
Edible-oil refineries in Sweden 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 Sweden, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants buy filter aid from us mainly for edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) and mineral and lubricant oil re-refining.
