Cold pressed oils are our business
Proteco has built an oil processing facility incorporating screw press and centrifuge technology. This caters for most oils seeds, nuts and fruit oils produced in Australia.
Our facility is organically accredited through ACO for customers seeking organic product processed. We also have HACCP certification, this is a requirement for many food producers and gives a level of confidence in quality of the finished product.
The processing plant is located at Kingaroy, approx 210km North West of Brisbane. We are located on major transport routes from Victoria and NSW. Accessability to western Qld for oil seeds crops is also an advantage.
The objective of this plant is to provide growers with access to the most advanced oil processing equipment and technology in accredited food handling facilities. The plant is HACCP accredited and certified to process organic product.
- Raw material storage for incoming stock is stored either refrigerated, climate controlled in warehouses or vermin proof silos.
- Oil processing is performed through one of our two plants which are both HACCP and Organicaly certified.
- Filtering and winterizing of cold pressed oils is critical for a quaility finished product. Proteco has developed a unique and efficant system for this process.
- Bulk oil storage is sterile secure in stainless steel tanks or single use barrier liners in pallecons.
- Bottling & Drumming is a strength of ours. A recently commissoned purpose built edible oil bottling unit with nitrogen flushing capabilities has a unique gentle fill action that looks after the oil without any agitation.
- Laboratory testing of cold pressed oils are completed in our well appointed research lab.
