1-10TPD Small Scale Sunflower Oil Refining Plant

1-10tpd small scale sunflower oil refinery plant belongs to batch type palm oil refinery plant. Small scale sunflower oil refinery plant is the best choice for small capacity palm oil mill. The small scale palm oil refinery plant can efficiently remove phospholipids, FFA, pigment, gums, waxes, off-flavor and other impurities.

Our small scale sunflower oil refinery plant is widely used in cooking oil refining process, such as peanut oil refining process, soybean oil refining process, cottonseed oil refining process, rice bran oil refining process, palm oil refining process , palm kernel oil refining process, etc.

1-10TPD Small Scale Sunflower Oil Refining Plant Process

Our sunflower oil refinery machines are equipped with the latest technology to ensure the highest quality sunflower seed oil.

Filtering Impurities: Using plate and frame filters or leaf filters to remove solid impurities from the crude oil.

Hydration Degumming: Removing water-soluble impurities, primarily phospholipids, through hydration.

Alkali Refining: Neutralizing free fatty acids with alkali solutions to form soapstock, which is then separated.

Bleaching: Removing pigments using adsorbents like activated clay or silica gel.

Deodorization: Removing volatile odors through steam distillation under high vacuum.

De-waxing: Cooling and crystallizing the oil to remove wax, improving the oil’s clarity and appearance.

What Are Factors Affect Sunflower Oil Refinery Effect?

Initial crude oil quality: If pretreatment dehulling is incomplete, the crude oil will contain high wax content, increasing the dewaxing section burden and losses.
Crude oil storage conditions: If crude oil contacts air, light, or high temperatures during storage, oxidation accelerates, acid values increase, and color deepens. This increases refining costs and affects the finished oil flavor and stability.
During degumming: Insufficient water/acid volume or improper temperature may cause incomplete phospholipid hydration or coagulation; poor centrifuge separation causes gum residue.
During deacidification: Excessive alkali or high concentration saponifies more neutral oil, causing oil yield to drop. Insufficient alkali causes incomplete deacidification, resulting in finished oil acid values exceeding standards.
During decolorization: Since activated clays have different adsorption capacities, selection depends on the crude oil’s pigment situation. Excessive use increases costs and oil loss, while insufficient use fails to meet decolorization standards.
During deodorization: Improper temperature and time cause off-flavor compounds to be incompletely removed. Excessive temperature or time destroys natural nutrients in the oil (such as vitamin E) and produces trans fatty acids.
During dewaxing: Rapid cooling produces fine wax crystals that are difficult to filter. Insufficient crystal growth time results in incomplete crystal formation, affecting filtration efficiency and causing oil turbidity.
