At HK Machine, we manufacture turnkey production facilities that convert waste vegetable oils and oilseeds into high-quality biodiesel in full compliance with EN 14214 international standards. With our fully automated systems ranging from 1 to 100 tons of daily capacity, we help realize your clean energy investments with maximum efficiency.
Biodiesel is a clean, renewable fuel produced by reacting animal or vegetable fats/oils with a short-chain alcohol (usually methanol) in the presence of a catalyst. It can be used directly in diesel engines or blended with petroleum diesel.
The heart of HK Machine biodiesel plants lies in our advanced Transesterification Reactors. Raw oil, pre-treated to lower its Free Fatty Acid (FFA) level, is heated to 60-65°C inside the reactor. It is mixed intensely with Sodium Methoxide (Methanol + Catalyst) using high-shear homogenizing mixers. As a result of this reaction, triglycerides are split to form the primary product, Biodiesel (Methyl Ester), and the co-product, Crude Glycerin.
High-Efficiency Separation: Following reaction, the mixture is transferred to settling tanks. The heavier crude glycerin settles to the bottom, while pure biodiesel remains in the upper phase. Our system is equipped with custom conical separators that accelerate phase separation and eliminate product loss.
When standard Used Cooking Oil (UCO) is processed in a calibrated HK Machine reactor, the expected mass-based conversions are as follows:
Main automotive fuel equivalent to petroleum-based diesel.
Valuable byproduct sold to pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and feed industries.
Solid filtration residue and trace moisture loss during drying.
Mix the waste oil with methanol, heat the mixture, and watch biodiesel separate from glycerin in real time.
