What are the advantages of using sunflower oil solvent extraction equipment to extract sunflower oil?

As we all know, there are two ways to extract vegetable oil, one is the traditional oil press, and the other is chemical solvent extraction. We will introduce to you in detail what are the advantages of using sunflower oil solvent extraction equipment to extract sunflower oil?

Sunflower oil solvent extraction equipment is a highly automated and easy-to-operate extraction equipment. It has the characteristics of high oil yield, low operating cost and high degree of automation. Moreover, the sunflower oil solvent extraction equipment has strong instability, which can be adjusted according to different production needs, and has strong applicability.

Using sunflower oil solvent extraction equipment has the following advantages:

1. High oil yield. The sunflower oil solvent extraction equipment adopts advanced technology, which can extract 99% of the oil in sunflower oil, ensuring the oil yield and shortening the extraction time.

2. High degree of automation. The sunflower oil solvent extraction equipment adopts an automatic control system, which can realize fully automatic production, less labor input, and improve production efficiency and product quality.

3. Strong repeatability: The sunflower oil solvent extraction equipment adopts advanced technology and design, which can ensure that under the same production conditions, it can still maintain a good extraction effect after repeated use, and has strong repeatability.

4. Low operating cost. The low operating cost of sunflower seed oil solvent extraction equipment is mainly due to its energy-saving features and reduced consumables. It utilizes advanced energy-saving technologies and recovery systems to minimize energy consumption and costs. The optimized process flow and solvent recovery systems also minimize the usage of consumables like solvents, leading to lower operating costs. These advantages ultimately maximize economic benefits for customers.

Despite its many advantages, solvent extraction equipment for sunflower seed oil is more expensive compared to traditional sunflower seed oil pressing equipment due to its complex process. In addition, a complete production line requires not only solvent extraction equipment but also sunflower seed oil pretreatment equipment and refining equipment.

Sunflower seed oil pretreatment equipment is essential for large-scale edible oil processing plants as it has a significant impact on subsequent processing operations and the quality of crude oil. Oilseed pretreatment machines can remove impurities, regulate the moisture and temperature of the material, and also break down the oilseeds into smaller particles, altering their molecular structure. Sunflower seed oil pretreatment equipment includes cleaning screens, destoners, magnetic separators, crushers, softening machines, flaking machines, and dryers, among others. This equipment is crucial for the subsequent solvent extraction process and directly affects the quality of the final edible oil.

After extracting the crude sunflower seed oil using solvent extraction equipment, the obtained crude oil needs to undergo a refining process before it can be used. Refining refers to the process of removing impurities and undesirable components from the crude oil to meet edible standards. Depending on the production volume, sunflower oil refining machines can be classified into batch, semi-continuous, and continuous types. Refining methods include degumming, deodorizing, and bleaching. After the refining process, the sunflower seed oil becomes purer, with a milder taste, making it more suitable for consumer preferences.
