The firm was founded in In the beginning the main goal was to develop all types of filters used in the processing of vegetable oils. KIM Engineering Ltd. is exclusive representative for Europe of "Veendeep Oiltek Exports" (India). The production of the company is under the European regulations. It is certified by ISO 9001: 2008 with Certificate № It is certified by ISO with Certificate № EN 0034/14 To be up to date with the issues in the oil industry, the company is a member of the “Union of Oil Producers in Bulgaria”.

Pressure Leaf Filter Pressure Leaf Filter The pressure leaf filter is a long proven system of pressure filtration Pressure leaf filter consists of filter leaves, each made up from several layers of wire mesh. The inner layer is a coarse mesh for the discharge of the filtrate and support of the outer layers. It is because of this construction that no deposit of filter-aid particles or impurities can enter the filter leaf as there is a constant flow in the coarse mesh and inside the frame. Minimum pressure inside the leaves is guaranteed even at high filtration flow. The filter cake is dried with compressed air, inert gas or steam, before the cake is discharged by a (pneumatic) vibrator connected directly to the reinforced upper side of the filter leaves. The removal of the cake is performed by means of a butterfly or slide valve, or a cake door. In cases of wet cake discharge, the filters are equipped with an oscillating sluice pipe, which is located above the leaves. The filter cake is discharged as concentrated slurry via the bottom cone.

Filtration of Crude oil Filtration of Crude oil The filtration of crude oil is performed most successfully by means of the pressure leaf filter made of stainless or mild steel. Solid discharge from the filter comes out in the form of dry filter cake to ensure a minimum loss of oil. For filtration of cold pressed vegetable oil for fuel or food purposes.

Bleaching Bleaching The filter can be used for removing the bleaching earth or activated carbon after bleaching. This way a high quality of oil is achieved.

Winterization Sunflower and soya oils are cooled down to crystalize the waxes and stearins in a filterable form. These oils are filtered with horizontal pressure leaf filters. The filter cake is dried with compressed air or steam.

Control filters After each filtration process, it is advisable that the oil is passed through a control filter, so that any particles or impurities ranging from 0.5 to 25 microns could be removed.

Vegetable oil refineries KIM ENGINEERING Ltd. has no single prototype of refinery. Our best achievements have been due to the knowledge we have acquired through experience. Each subsequent refinery is designed in a way so that there is less dependence on human factors. Processes according to the capacity of the enterprise may be batch or continuous. The company also successfully develops the cycle for circulating water for cooling.

Automation of production processes The computerized control system is designed to control levels, temperature and pressure throughout the whole process. It has a controlling as well as preventing function.

Import of separators for oil industry (with installation and start-up) The separators are monitored through the whole production process - from loading and start-up to the final positive outcome.
