What machines are needed to set up a large sunflower oil mill plant?

Setting up a large sunflower oil mill plant is a complex process that requires careful planning, significant investment and the right sunflower oil mill machines to ensure efficient production. The goal is to transform sunflower seeds into high-quality sunflower oil, which involves multiple sunflower oil mill machines. This article uses the solution provided by Henan Glory Company as an example to outline the basic machines are needed to set up an efficient and robust large sunflower oil mill plant.

1. Sunflower Seed Pretreatment Machines

In order to ensure the best oil yield and quality, it is necessary to start with the pretreatment of sunflower seeds:

(1) Sunflower seed cleaning machines: equipped with a vibrating screen, destoner and magnetic separator, it can remove dust, stones, heavy foreign matter and metal impurities. At the same time, it can protect downstream sunflower oil mill machines from damage.

(3) Sunflower seed kernel and shell separation sieve: according to the shape, size and specific gravity difference of the sunflower seed shell and kernel, the sunflower seed shell and kernel are separated by screening method.

(4) Sunflower seed cooking machine: used to bake sunflower seeds to the appropriate humidity and temperature.

2. Sunflower Oil Extraction Machines

Choosing advanced sunflower oil extraction machines can help achieve the highest productivity:

(1) Sunflower oil pressing machines: Henan Glory Company can provide sunflower oil pressing machines of various types, such as hydraulic sunflower oil pressing machine, screw sunflower oil pressing machine and automatic temperature control integrated sunflower oil pressing machine, which mechanically press sunflower seeds to extract sunflower oil. For large sunflower oil mill plant operations, continuous screw sunflower oil pressing machines are usually used, which can produce stable sunflower oil production while minimizing residual sunflower oil in the cake.

(2) Sunflower oil solvent extraction machine: It is very suitable for large sunflower oil mill plant industrial applications. Through advanced chemical solvent (usually n-hexane) extraction technology, the oil recovery rate is as high as 99%. The sunflower oil solvent extraction machine manufactured by Henan Glory Company specifically includes solvent extraction system, D.T.D.C. system, evaporation stripping system and condenser & recovery system. This sunflower oil solvent extraction machine can minimize the residual oil in the sunflower oil cake and significantly increase the yield of sunflower oil.

3. Sunflower Oil Refining Machines

Using an integrated sunflower oil refining production line, crude sunflower oil can be refined into high-quality edible sunflower oil:

(1) Sunflower oil degumming machine: used to remove phospholipids from crude sunflower oil.

(2) Sunflower oil deacidification machine: by using alkali solution (usually sodium hydroxide solution) to neutralize free fatty acids and thus inhibit the increase of free fatty acids.

(3) Sunflower oil decolorization machine: by using bleaching earth (usually activated white clay) to remove pigments, soap bases, trace metals and other impurities.

(4) Sunflower oil deodorization machine: used under high vacuum and low pressure conditions to remove volatile compounds that cause oil to have odor or odor, so that the sunflower oil remains neutral and odorless.

(5) Sunflower oil dewaxing machine: using the characteristics of sunflower oil and wax with a large difference in melting point, through cooling, crystallization, and then filtering or centrifugal separation to separate oil and wax, thereby improving the transparency and stability of sunflower oil.

4. Sunflower Oil Filtration and Packaging Machines

The following sunflower oil mill machines can be used to ensure product purity and market competitiveness:

(1) Sunflower oil filtering machine: Plate and frame filter is usually used, which can remove fine impurities to make the sunflower oil transparent and durable.
