Copra is the dried kernel or meat of a coconut that is commonly used to produce coconut oil. In coconut farming, copra is produced by removing the husk of a mature coconut and then extracting the white flesh inside. The flesh is then dried either by sun drying or by using mechanical dryers until it is completely dry and brittle. Once dried, the copra is usually sold to processing plants where
That’s why hundreds of copra oil processing facilities throughout the Philippines and Indonesia use the Anderson Super Duo™ Series Expeller®. The unique dual-press design of this expeller crushes the copra twice in a single pass, enabling the most efficient use of horsepower without requiring additional energy or equipment.
Copra or Coconut Oil: Production, Specification and Applications
More commonly, the dry copra is first extracted by the solvent-free method using expellers to obtain better quality coconut oil. Then the residue is processed through solvent extraction plant using food-grade hexane as a solvent to extract the residual coconut oil (8 to 12%).
The coconut cake, left after oil extraction from copra, can be used as animal feed. Coconut meat can also be processed into coconut flour, desiccated coconut, and other food products.
History & Milestones - Wilmar International
The Indonesian business flourished and today we are the largest palm oil refiner, palm kernel and copra crusher, as well as specialty fats, oleochemicals biodiesel and consumer pack oils manufacturer in the country.
In conclusion, both traditional and modern methods of extracting oil from copra have their advantages and disadvantages. While traditional methods like cold-pressing offer higher quality oil, modern techniques such as mechanical expelling provide greater efficiency.

The copra oil production process combines modern technology with traditional practices to produce high-quality, sought-after copra oil. Every stage, from dried coconut preparation to pressing and refining, plays a vital role in ensuring the oil’s purity, flavor, and nutritional value.
The process of extracting Coconut Oil starts with selecting good quality copra. Once client have prepared the raw material, client undergo an extensive process of pressing Crude Coconut Oil up to producing RBD Coconut Oil.
Common Types And Characteristics Of Copra Oil Extraction
The centrifugal oil press uses centrifugal force to separate the oil in the copra and has the characteristics of good separation effect and high oil quality, which is suitable for production scenarios with high requirements for oil quality. Secondly, different types of copra oil extraction machine also have their own characteristics during use.
For larger coconut oil production plants, solvent extraction is used to extract oil from copra, especially when higher yields are desired. The method uses a solvent (typically hexane) to dissolve the oil, leaving behind the defatted meal (copra cake).
