Other Details

Vanuatu Virgin Coconut Oil Ltd (VVCOL) is based on Santo Island, Vanuatu (South Pacific).

The company’s founding directors were responsible for the invention and development of a coconut meat extraction machine.

This unfortunately is by-passed as the cost of transport is ten times more expensive than that of fresh coconut kernel.

VVCOL buys organically certified fresh coconut kernel (Australian CERTIFIED ORGANIC) that has been scooped out of the shell during the day and processed into Extra Virgin Coconut Oil that night.

Product Application

Currently VVCOL is selling EVCO at US$ 6.5 per liter plus packaging with 50% deposit on order and another 50% on presentation of Bill of Lading FOB. We export in 1000 Lt Totes usually ten to twenty totes to a container.

Cost of totes are US$250 each and can come with a heat pad for climates under 22 degree C.

Technical Specifications

Our tuck picks the fresh kernel up and takes to the Organically Certified

(BioGro New Zealand) VCO oil mill.

We are proud to say that our oil is one of the best in the world!

From here our coconut meat begins its journey on food grade stainless steel conveyors to be desiccated.

                      Desiccated Cutters. 

The desiccated cutters can shred the fresh coconut meat to the desired size that is required for both the fluid-bed drier and the expellers.   

 FLUID-BED DRIER.

The desiccated fresh meat is then dried in an enclosed controlled environment, where we can monitor and control moisture content. This Fluid- bed Drier keeps the material in suspension at a forward motion without over heating the desiccated coconut meat before going to the expellers.Once dried to the required moisture content the dried desiccated coconut meat is fed via stainless steel enclosed conveyors, into the Expellers which expel the Virgin coconut oil at low temperature. The expellers are internally water cooled and monitored to insure that heat is at a minimum at all times.

EXPELLERS.

This is two shuts for the coconut flour.

The oil then goes through six separate filtration processes to insure that the oil is free of all sediment of above one micron. The end result is a very high grade Virgin coconut oil.

FFA (free fatty acids) between 0.1 & below

Moisture content 0.1% or less

The technology is the result of 10 years of research and development. Vanuatu Virgin Coconut Oil Ltd is the only company which is currently able to produce virgin coconut oil using their patented technology.
