Run a Small Scale Sunflower Oil Production Line

Sunflower seed oil is one of the major oil sources in my country, rich in linoleic acid (accounting for total fat.Fatty acid content is 54% to 70%) and oleic acid (accounting for 39%), which has high nutritional value. Many people use sunflower seeds to squeeze oil. In addition to the high oil content, the squeezed oil is more fragrant.

We offer professional small scale oil production line for sunflower seed oil from 1tpd to 30tpd. The sunflower oil pressing plant we designed is fully adopted mechanical driven, which connects each single machine together to extract oil with higher oil yield and at the same time, change the single machines by manual into the semi continuous production line to liberate the workforce. It is really an ideal investing item with little investment, high production efficiency and high profits!

Sunflower Oil Production Process Design

The start-up cost of small scale sunflower oil production plant is closely related to process design. And the process design is generally based on processing capacity, plant layout, automation degree of production line and other factors.

• Oil Seeds Selection and Shelling: screen the harvested sunflower seeds to remove the impurities, next, peel the shells of the sunflower seeds and separate the shells from the sunflower kernels to obtain the pure sunflower kernels.
• Roasting: roasting the sunflower kernels to regulate the temperature and humidity of sunflower seeds as well as their internal structure in order to improve the oil yield.
• Oil Pressing: pressing the roasted sunflower kernels, squeezing out the oil drops under pressure and separating the sunflower meal to obtain crude oil.
• Oil Refining Process: including processing steps of degumming, deacidification, decolorization and deodorization, which can make the grease clear and translucent with no strange smell.

Features of the Sunflower Oil Pressing Line

★ Easier to operate, easier to install and commissioning.
★ Need small investment, fewer land space, but with the complete function of the production.
★ Wide application that can make many other kinds of vegetable seeds and nuts, such as rapeseeds, cotton seeds, sunflower seeds, corn germ, palm kernel, sesame seeds and so on.
★ Need fewer labor than the single machines, only 2~3 persons can run the whole line
★ The semi-continuous can avoid the unstable material feeding caused by manual and can make the worker safety more under the higher temperature working situation.

Wide Application of Sunflower Oil Production

Cooking Oil: When it comes to edible purpose, sunflower seed oil is known for its premium characteristics such as light color, bland flavor, rich unsaturated fatty acids, low linoleic acid and high smoke point. From improving heart’s well-being and maintaining the glow of the skin from within to boosting energy and strengthening the immune system, the goodness of sunflower oil has provisions to take good care of overall health and reduce the risks of deadly diseases such as cancer and asthma.

Industrial Use: It is can also be used in production of paints, soaps and detergents, adhesives and plastics, fabric softeners, diesel fuel and so on.
