SIMEC Support Shea Butter Produce in Abidjan

Tags : Abidjan Avocado Oil Shea Butter Shea Butter Block

In mid October 2021, SIMEC shipped shea butter extraction equipment to Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

The project is designed to produce shea butter in the form of 25 KG block wrapped and packed in carton. In the future, the same equipment will also produce extra virgin avocado oil.

In the shea butter production process, the client will roast the shea almonds then introduce them into the material barrels of hydraulic oil press. Afterwards the liquid product will be filtered by oil purification apparatus and filled into 25kg cardboard boxes (with a plastic bag).

Shea butter, which is solid and waxy in appearance at room temperature, becomes oily above 34 °C. The oil transforms to butter below 34 degrees Celsius.

Starting with shea butter, the client will produce avocado oil and coconut oil later. The same machine can also make cold processed organic oil from castor, sesame, jojoba, moringa, etc.
