Sunflower Oil Refining Equipment: Cutting-edge technology for refining crude oil to perfection. At this scale, a batch-type refinery is used for degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization.
Crude sunflower oil contains impurities (free fatty acids, gum, pigment, odor, wax) that affect edible safety and shelf life—refining is essential for commercial edible oil production. The 10TPD line adopts a small-scale batch refining unit (suitable for small output, low investment) to produce first/second-grade refined sunflower oil meeting national food safety standards.
The refining process includes: Degumming → Neutralization → Decolorization → Deodorization → Dewaxing (optional, for high-grade oil)
| Equipment Name | Model (Customizable) | Main Function | Configuration for 10TPD |

| Centrifugal Filter/Plate and Frame Filter | Custom | Filtrate oil after each refining step to remove adsorbents and sediments | 1 set |
Yield: Pressing leaves 6–7% residual oil in the cake, while solvent extraction leaves less than 1%.
Suitability: Engineers recommend mechanical pressing for capacities below 20 TPD due to lower initial investment and safer operations. Solvent extraction is generally only viable for capacities above 30–50 TPD.
Why choose mechanical pressing over solvent extraction?
At 10 TPD, the cost of a solvent recovery system is too high to justify. Mechanical pressing (screw pressing) is safer, requires less specialized labor, and allows you to market your oil as “cold-pressed” or “hexane-free,” which often fetches a premium price Henan Huatai.
What is the oil yield for 10 TPD of sunflower seeds?
Sunflower seeds typically contain 40-50% oil. A standard 10 TPD press will yield approximately 4 to 4.5 tonnes of crude oil per day, leaving about 6-8% residual oil in the cake ABC Machinery.
Is dewaxing mandatory for sunflower oil?
Yes, if you want a professional retail product. Sunflower oil contains natural waxes that make it look cloudy in the bottle at room temperature or in the fridge. A dewaxing unit is essential to ensure the oil remains crystal clear Qie Machinery.
What are the power and space requirements?
A 10 TPD pressing and refining line typically requires about 50–80 kW of power and a workshop space of roughly 200–300 square meters.
How many workers are needed to run the line?
Because these lines are often semi-automated, you can typically operate a 10 TPD plant with 3–5 workers per shift (1 for pretreatment, 1 for pressing, 1 for filtration/refining, and 1-2 for packaging).
What can I do with the sunflower cake?
The byproduct (press cake) is highly valuable as high-protein animal feed for poultry and livestock. Selling the cake often covers a significant portion of your daily operating costs.
