Sunflower seed oil processing line
Product DescriptionSunflower seed generally contains about 45%~54% oil, 22% husk. We provide all machines necessary for a complete sunflower seed oil plant, including pre-treatment machines, press, solvent extractors, refinery machines, etc.
I. Pre-treatment
Sunflower seed is generally 4~8mm long, 3~6mm wide. Before extracting oils and fats from Sunflower seeds, the mill needs to prepare it by cleaning, crushing, softening, flaking and cooking. For cleaning, we offer magnetic separator, aspirator or different size cleaning sieves, as shown below, to remove impurities from sunflower seeds.
Next, every sunflower seed is crushed by centrifugal decorticator, as shown below.
Then, the temperature and moisture of oilseed pieces will be adjusted by conditioner or softening kettle so that they become soft and wet enough for flaking. This step improves their ductility. Below is photo of softening kettle.
The flaking roll will make the wet soft sunflower pieces into flakes. We have vertical flaking roll, multi-stage flaking roll, hydraulic flaking roll and spring flaking roll etc., as shown below.
Finally, the flakes will be cooked to make tiny oils and fats groups get together to become bigger, and to make them less adhesive, easier to get out of flakes.
II. Solvent extraction
Oils and fats in sunflower seed flakes can dissolve in certain solvent. Therefore, we can immerse pressed fakes in solvent to extract oils and fats. Then remove solvent from wet meal, strip solvent from miscella, and recycle solvent.
Extraction
Weâve percolation extractor, immersion extractor and rotocel extractor, etc., as shown below. The solvent pumps in extractor will continuously spray solvent and soak the sunflower seeds cakes in it, so that oils and fats can be dissolved. After that, you get wet meal and miscella (mixed oil and solvent).
Wet meal treatment
Desolventizer toaster with integrated LD-cooler(DTDC) is a system for separating solvent from the wet meal. We've vertical desolventizer toaster, horizontal desolventizer, flash desolventizing system and low temperature desolventizer, etc., as shown below.
Miscella treatment
After extraction, filter the miscella, send it to two evaporators successively, and then to the stripping tower. Weâve raising film evaporator, vapor separator, negative evaporator, normal evaporator, etc. For stripping, weâve tubular stripping column, disk stripping column, plate stripping tower, filling steam stripping tower, etc. After evaporation and stripping, you get crude sunflower oil and desolventized meal. This meal can be used to produce feeds. The crude oil needs to be refined.
Solvent recovery
The solvent vapour from wet meal and miscella will be collected by condensers to be reused. Weâve pipe bundle condenser, spraying condenser, contact condenser, etc., as shown below.
III. Crude oil refining
Crude Sunflower seed oil has a lot of impurities, such as phosphatide, free fatty acid, pigment, wax, sterol, sands, etc. We have to get rid of these impurities to get edible oil.
Degumming
There are many ways to move the mucilaginous impurities from crude oils and fats, for example, hydration, heating, adding acids, etc. Weâve hydration tank, acid refining mixer, etc., as shown below.
Deacidification
This step is to remove pigment from crude oil to adjust its color. You can adjust according to the requirement of your market. Weâve acid refining tank.
Deodorization
This step is to move unpleasant smell from crude oil. This is an important standard for refined oil. Weâve deodorizing tank.
Solvent Extractor Advantages
1) The material is divided into several independent units on the material bed, which can effectively prevent miscella at all levels from fleeing hither and thither on the material layer and ensure the concentration gradient between several sprays.
2) Immersion area appears in each lattice, which can help achieve better immersion effect.
3) The chain box is supported by track and can prolong the service life of screen deck by not touching it.
4) The towline extractor is driven by world leading double-shaft hydraulic motor, with balance force, reliable operation and less maintenance cost.
