sunflower oil for sale | soybean oil for sale | crude palm oil | refined palm oil | Crude sunflower oil
Vegetable oil production involves extracting oil from plant sources like seeds, nuts, or fruits. This typically involves cleaning the source material, extracting the oil through methods like pressing or solvent extraction, and then refining the crude oil to remove impurities.
The Process of Extraction of Crude & Refined Palm Oil
Main Machinery for Making Palm Oil: Steriliser, digester, stripper machine, screw press, nut/fiber separator and so on.
The manufacture of crude palm oil involves a series of processes starting with harvesting fresh fruit bunches from the plantations and ending with crude palm oil storage. Through sterilizing, threshing, mashing and expelling, crude palm oil will be pressed out in palm oil pressing machine (screw oil press). Each station of palm oil mill uses different methods and machines. After purifying and refining, the refined palm oil can be exported as a popular kind of healthy and edible oil. Browse through the details of palm oil manufacturing in the following:
Plam Fruit Harvesting Process
|
The initial process in palm oil mill is reaping the palm fruit bunches. |
Sterilizing Station
Through fruit reception system (left of the above photos), the palm fruit bunches will be transported to the next process - Sterilizing Station.
The disinfection process utilizes steam or water to sterilize the fresh palm fruits. This process likewise stops enzymatic responses that prompt oxidation and upsets the cells which are found in the mesocarp, so that to improve the oil extraction efficiency and final oil product quality. Dry sterilizing means roasting or smoking the fruits, while wet process means boiling or steaming the fruits. If choose dry process, the palm fruits are separated first, and then sterilized. If use wet process, the fruits are sterilized before threshing.
Threshing Station
In the threshing process of palm oil mill. The fruitlets are separated from the whole bunches by use of stripper machine. Threshing is generally mechanical in large palm oil mill by use of thresher, which rotates or vibrates to remove the fruits from the bunch.
Digesting Station
|
Before extracting oil, the palm fruits need to be crushed in digester machines. To augment oil yield, the fruit pulp is also warmed in this process. The mesocarp and nuts can be squeezed together in palm oil making/pressing machine. But if you plan to make Grade A Palm Oil, the palm nut/kernel should be removed before oil pressing section. |
Oil Pressing Station
|
The pulp is then pressed, which bursts the oil-containing cells, releasing the palm oil. There are several types of oil making machines that may be used to press the fruit pulp, including manual presses, hydraulic presses, and screw presses. The screw press is the most commonly used palm oil making machine in both small and large scale palm oil manufacturing plant due to its high oil extraction rate. |
Palm Oil Clarification Station
|
The purpose of clarification in palm oil manufacturing process is to remove impurities. The final crude palm oil will be storage in bulk in a tank. |
Palm Kernel Recovery Plant
|
After palm oil expelling, the solids parts discharged from the screw press is mixture of fiber and nuts. In palm kernel recovery plant, the nuts and fiber are separated by physical means. The nuts are sent to palm kernel crushing and solvent extraction plant to make palm kernel oil, while the fiber is used as biomass fuel in boiler on-site. |

The whole soybean oil production line
The main steps of soybean oil production: Soybean oil is the world’s largest production edible oil, Henan Huatai soybean oil extraction machinery has four workshops: soybean pretreatment, soybean oil extraction plant, soybean crude oil refining plant, and soybean refined oil filling.
Henan Huatai soybean oil extraction process: Cleaning – Crushing – Softening -Soybean Rolling- Soybean oil extraction
Soybean oil pretreatment and pressing machine can highly increase oil yield, and it can be applied to other oil seeds as well, such as peanut, rice bran, sunflower seed, and rapeseed and so on. For different oil seeds, the pretreatment and pressing technology is various. The soybean oil pretreatment and pressing machine is efficient and energy-saving.
1.Soybeans cleaning
The soybean cleaning process, that is the screening and stone removal process. Cleaning is very important for the oil pre-treatment process. It is necessary to use a cleaning screen to remove large impurities, a magnetic separator to remove metal impurities, and a destoner to remove hard impurities such as mud in the material. Equipped with a suction air net system, it can effectively control the dust of raw materials and ensure the cleanliness of soybean raw materials.
2.Crushing process
After the soybean are crushed by the crusher, the surface area increases, which facilitates the transfer of temperature and moisture during steaming and frying, and improves the steaming and frying effect.
3.Soybean Softening
The function of conditioning is to adjust the moisture and temperature of the soybean so that they have a certain degree of plasticity, making it easier to separate the oil from the embryos during pressing.
4.Soybean Rolling
Soybean rolling is the process of using the mechanical function to roll the soybean from the granular to flake.
Soybean oil solvent extraction plant
The main steps of soybean oil solvent extraction
Soybean oil solvent extraction plant flow diagram:
Pressed soybean cake→Solvent extraction system→D.T.D.C system→Condenser system→Recovery system→Crude soybean oil
The soybean oil solvent extraction plant is an important part of soybean oil production line, which is designed to extract oil directly from pressed soybean cake. After soybean oil solvent extraction plant, the residual oil rate in soybean cake is less than 1%.
The pretreated soybean flakes are sent to the soybean oil solvent extraction plant. The plant uses a kind of solvent (normal hexane) to absorb the oil from soybean, and then the machines separate the solvent from soybean crude oil. The solvent is used for recycling and soybean crude oil is refined by oil refinery plant.
Soybean oil refinery machinery
The main steps of soybean oil refining
In addition to some mechanical impurities, crude soybean oil also contains impurities such as phospholipids, proteins, free fatty acids, pigments and odor substances. These impurities are the main factors leading to rancidity, oxidation and deterioration of edible oil, and also affect the color, flavor and flavor of the oil. Food safety. Simple filtration cannot remove them. Oil refining equipment needs to be used to refine the oil to remove these impurities and improve the quality of the oil. Soybean oil refining needs to go through major processes such as degumming, deacidification, dehydration, decolorization, deodorization. It is commonly known as the “six removal” process. The edible oil that has passed the “six removal” process will obtain first-level extracted soybean oil after passing the laboratory test.
1. Degumming section
Purpose: To remove peptidic impurities in soybean oil.
Operation process: Heat the crude soybean oil first, then add hot water to the oil and start stirring. Peptide-soluble impurities are hydrophilic and will agglomerate into clusters when exposed to water. After settling, the peptide-soluble impurities can be separated from soybean oil.
2.Deacidification section
Purpose: to remove free fatty acids from soybean oil.
Operation process: The operation process of the deacidification section is related to the deacidification method. There are two methods of deacidification: chemical deacidification and physical deacidification. Chemical deacidification is carried out in an alkali kettle. During chemical deacidification, alkali solution is added to soybean oil to neutralize it with free fatty acids. After the neutralization reaction, the by-product soapstock will be produced. After sedimentation, the soapstock will be discharged from the oil to complete the chemical deacidification process. Physical deacidification is carried out in the upper part of the deodorization tower. During physical deacidification, high-temperature water vapor is introduced into the deodorization tower, and free fatty acids are separated from the oil using the principle of distillation to complete the deacidification process.
3.Decolorization section
Purpose: To remove pigments from soybean oil.
Operation process: The temperature required in the decolorization section is generally around 105°C. Before decolorizing, a vacuum should be maintained in the decolorizing equipment. Then add white clay to the oil, and use the adsorption properties of the white clay to remove the pigment in the oil. In addition to pigments, white clay can also absorb other particulate impurities. The decolorized soybean oil must be filtered through a leaf filter to discharge the waste clay, thereby completing the decolorization section.
4. Deodorization section
Purpose: to remove odor substances in soybean oil.
Operation process: The temperature required in the deodorization section is generally around 260°C, so the vacuum state must be maintained before deodorization. During deodorization, direct steam should be passed into the deodorization equipment, and the difference in volatility of grease and odor substances should be used to remove odor substances in the oil.
The deodorization part of the soybean oil refining equipment is made of stainless steel, which can prevent the deodorization equipment from being damaged due to high temperature and high vacuum conditions, and does not affect the deodorization effect of soybean oil.
The Process of Extraction of Crude & Refined Sunflower Oil
01. Seed Receiving
Sunflower seeds are admitted to the oil mill only after the approval of our own laboratory. That is why we always have high-quality source raw materials.
02.Cleaning and Drying
Cleaning, drying, dehulling (destruction) of the seed hull and its separation from the kernel form the next stage in the production process of sunflower oil making. Then the seeds are crushed, and the resulting mixture is subjected to hydrothermal treatment, and then it is roasted.
03.Pressing
The prepared seeds are heated prior to oil extraction. Thus, oil preserves all its health benefits and also becomes more fragrant. Then the oil is settled, filtered, and processed further.
04.Oilcake
Oilcake obtained during the extraction process is pelletized and used in agriculture as a high-protein concentrated animal feed.
05.Refinment
At this stage, several operations are performed at once.
Settling, filtration and centrifuging make it possible to clean sunflower oil from mechanical impurities.
Hydration process removes protein and mucilaginous material.
During the neutralization stage, free fatty acids, heavy metals and pesticides are removed.
The next stage is for extraction of free fatty acids and oil bleaching.
Deodorization destroys odorous substances, which lead to oxidation.
All these stages of oil clarification from unwanted impurities increase oil shelf life.
Winterizing removes waxy turbid substances and makes oil more transparent.
Sunflower oil undergoes all stages of clarification at our oil mill.
06.Packaging
We have an automated high-capacity line for sunflower oil bottling.
At first, polyethylene terephthalate blanks are loaded into a device, which blows bottles for sunflower oil out of them.
These bottles are supplied to the oil filling line. When a bottle is filled, it is sealed. Labels are put on the bottles and production date is printed. Filling of bottles with sunflower oil is controlled automatically, enabling the minimization of defective goods percentage.
Our line excludes the possibility of sunflower oil getting on the exterior surface of the bottle. Thereby a marketable state of oil is ensured.
Filled bottles are packed into corrugated cardboard boxes.
Prepared boxes are placed onto euro-pallets and handed over to customers as such.
We can print your logo on the boxes and bottles with sunflower oil, if you wish.
