Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method, whereby, in the dry fractionation of an oil or fat, a decrease in solid-liquid separation efficiency, said decrease being caused by the engulfment of a filtrate fraction into a crystal fraction after crystallization and press filtration, can be prevented and thus the crystal slurry can be efficiently separated after the crystallization. A method for the dry fractionation of an oil or fat, said method comprising, before or after crystallization, adding a definite amount of a filtration aid followed by mixing and then press-filtering the thus obtained crystal slurry. Thus, the crystal slurry can be easily separated into a crystal fraction with little engulfment of a liquid fraction and the liquid fraction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dry oil-and-fat separation method of high yield and high separation accuracy, which uses agitation and crystallization in order to prevent problems with thickening of the crystal slurry and decreased solid/liquid separation efficiency in the crystallization/press-filtering process of dry separation of oil-and-fat containing highly crystalline SUS. In dry separation, the crystallization/press-filtering process is divided into multiple steps and repeated, to concentrate the SUS in each crystal fraction and yield SUS-rich oil and fat. Subdivision into multiple steps makes it possible to keep the crystallinity of the crystal slurry in the crystallization/press-filtering process within a range so that the crystal slurry can be transported by pump, and to increase solid/liquid separation efficiency.

Abstract: A charging connector mounting structure is provided, which prevents entry of water into an outer panel and is highly versatile, includes: an opening provided in an outer panel located on a side face of a vehicle; an outer box mounted on a vehicle interior side of the opening and recessed toward the inside of the opening; a through-hole formed in a recessed portion of the outer box; a connector connecting portion which is inserted in the through-hole and to which a cable plug for charging a battery of the vehicle is connected; and an inner box that is mounted to an inner panel located on the vehicle interior side with respect to the outer panel and that supports the connector connecting portion, wherein the inner box is made of resin.

Abstract: A method of solvent fractionation of a fat by which a high fat concentration, a rise in refrigerant temperature, and a reduction in operation time, etc. can be attained and fractions are efficiently produced at a low cost, characterized by rapidly cooling a feedstock fat dissolved in a solvent to a temperature higher by 1 to 20° C. than the crystallization temperature used in a crystallizer in the step prior to introduction of the feedstock fat into the crystallizer.

Abstract: A process for dry fractionation of fats and oils, by providing a fat-and-oil feedstock having an SFI at 20.degree. C. of at least 15; pre-cooling the fat-and-oil feedstock to a temperature of, at the highest, 3.degree. C. higher than that of a cooling medium to be used for crystallization; allowing the pre-cooled fat-and-oil feedstock to stand while further cooling the feedstock with the cooling medium to form fat crystals and to obtain cakes containing fat crystals; and subjecting the cakes to separation of solids from a liquid phase.

Abstract: An apparatus for formation of fat crystals by standing, which has a container, distribution pipes and crystallization trays arranged in parallel, the container being divided into plural compartments with vertical partitions each upper part of which has an opening to permit a fat-and-oil feedstock to be fed into each compartment, the compartments communicating with each other at a certain height from the bottom of the container so that the fat-and-oil feedstock can be uniformly fed into respective compartments, and the distribution pipes being connected to the bottoms of respective compartments so that the fat-and-oil feedstock to be fed therein can be distributed to the crystallization trays, respectively.
