CREOL is an R&D tool for processing oilseeds. In complete confidentiality we crush seeds for units of a few kilos up to hundreds of tons.
According to needs, we can develop new processes, carry out experimental extrusions in compliance with specific requirements, carry out equipment tests, etc. We also provide custom oil extraction services for customers with small volumes of raw materials who require stringent controls on manufacturing conditions. 
   
Our means

Our equipment enables us to reproduce on a small scale operations carried out traditionally in the oil milling industry. We also have experimental equipment that allows better respect for the quality of the raw materials. The high point is that we have a continuous extraction workshop for each solvent that is unique in Europe.

 

 

Our skills

 Extraction of fragile and reactive oils under mild conditions
 Development of crushing for new seeds
 Oil production by extrusion
 Cold solvent extraction, enabling us to obtain proteins that preserve their natural functions
These skills are enhanced through our partnerships with the CETIOM and ITERGteams located at the same site.

 

 

Traceability and flexibility

The experimental site enables us to process, under the best conditions of traceability, batches of seeds of several dozen kilograms up to several dozen tons, by pressure and extraction with hexane. The site has adequate facilities to assist in assessing equipment for its customers. New technologies are developed there.

 

 

Quality et confidentiality


The quality system of the experimental site is certified under the ISO 9002 International Standard (AFAQ and IQNet* certification).Our procedures are aimed at guarantying traceability of the unit lots and operations as well as the reliability of our results. Our organization was purposely planned as independent from our parent agency (CETIOM) in order to offer the best guarantee of confidentiality. Practically, this is reflected in separate teams, different premises and the legal form of a French SAS (A simplified business association).
