sunflower seed cold press oil extraction machine for sale
Sunflower seed oil press is an automatic machine that is suitable for pressing various kinds of oil materials, including rapeseed, peanut, soybean, sunflower, sesame seed, tea seed, and many others. This equipment is highly efficient, energy-saving, and easy to operate, making it an ideal choice for small-scale oil pressing production from 1TPD to 30TPD.
The automatic sunflower oil press machine is composed of electric control, automatic heating, adjustment, transmission, and vacuum oil filter components. It adopts electronic temperature control technology to ensure the best oil temperature, and the pressing temperature of different oil can be adjusted timely. This feature makes it possible to produce high-quality oil with maximum yield.
Advantage of sunflower seed oil press
One of the advantages of the sunflower seed oil press is its high efficiency, energy and labor-saving, easy operation, and simple maintenance. Only one or two people can finish the production process. The machine is also widely used to press various kinds of oil materials, like soybean, sunflower seeds, peanut, sesame, rapeseeds, flaxseed, camellia, cottonseed, and all the oil content crops.
The compact structure and stable functions of the sunflower seed oil press make it a reliable choice for small-scale oil production. The main parts of the chamber undergo high-temperature tempering and low-temperature quenching to ensure their durability and longevity. The machine’s small-land usage also makes it an excellent choice for small businesses looking to produce high-quality oil.
Equipment Needed for a Small Sunflower Oil Mill
Sunflower oil is a popular and versatile edible oil that is extracted from sunflower seeds. The process of producing high-quality sunflower oil involves several stages, each of which plays a vital role in ensuring the purity and quality of the final product.
Seed Cleaning:
The first step in sunflower oil production is seed cleaning. The seeds are passed through a magnet to remove any metal traces, ensuring the purity of the final oil. Afterward, the seeds go through a special machine to eliminate dirt and other impurities.
Seed De-hulling:
De-hulling is an optional step in the sunflower oil extraction process. Some sunflower seeds have hulls that can be removed before pressing the oil. De-hulling involves cracking the seeds and winnowing to separate the hulls from the kernels.
Grinding:
After de-hulling, the sunflower seeds are ground into a meal using mechanized grooved rollers. Grinding helps increase the surface area of the seeds, facilitating efficient oil extraction.
Cooking:
The ground meal is then heated in a steam cooker. Cooking the meal enhances the oil extraction process by increasing the fluidity of the oil within the seeds.
Oil Pressing:
The preheated meal is fed into a sunflower seed oil press, which consists of a slotted barrel. As the meal moves through the barrel, the pressure gradually increases, extracting the oil. The oil is squeezed out, while the solid residue, known as oil cake or meal, is separated.
Solvent Extracting:
To maximize oil yield, solvent extraction is employed to extract the remaining oil from the oil cake. The cake from the press is subjected to extraction in a solvent extraction plant. The oil is first recovered using a screw press, and then the remaining oil is extracted with a solvent. The solvent is removed by employing a stripping column, where the oil is boiled, and the condensed solvent is separated.
Crude Sunflower Oil Refining:
The extracted oil is then refined to improve its quality and remove impurities. The refining process typically involves heating the oil and mixing it with an alkaline solution. Soap forms as a result, which is further removed through additional cleaning processes. The refined oil is then dried to remove any remaining moisture.
Oil Packing:
After completing all the processing steps, the final sunflower oil is ready for packaging. The oil is packed into suitable containers, such as bottles, cans, or pouches, for distribution and sale in the market.
Each stage plays a vital role in ensuring the purity and quality of the final product. With proper equipment and techniques, small-scale sunflower oil mills can produce high-quality sunflower oil for consumption or sale in the market.
