Oil Processing Machinery

Product Description

1. Seed Cleaning and Preparation Equipment

• Seed Cleaners: Remove impurities and foreign materials from seeds.
• Dehuskers/Huskers: Remove the outer husk or shell of seeds or nuts.
• Crushers: Break down seeds to facilitate oil extraction.

2. Oil Extraction Machinery

• Expeller Press: Uses mechanical pressure to extract oil from seeds or nuts. Itïs a common method for many types of seeds and is often used in cold-pressing.
• Hydraulic Press: Employs hydraulic pressure to extract oil, typically used for high-quality oils and smaller-scale production.
• Solvent Extractor: Uses chemical solvents (like hexane) to extract oil from seeds. This method is efficient for extracting oil from oilseeds that have a lower oil content.

3. Oil Refining Equipment

• Degumming Unit: Removes phosphatides and other gums from crude oil.
• Neutralizer: Neutralizes free fatty acids to improve oil quality and shelf life.
• Bleaching Unit: Removes pigments and impurities to improve the color and clarity of the oil.
• Deodorizer: Eliminates unwanted odors and flavors from the oil, typically using steam distillation.

4. Oil Filtering and Storage

• Filtration Systems: Remove any remaining particulates or impurities from the oil.
• Storage Tanks: Store the refined oil before it is packaged or further processed.

5. Other Related Equipment

• Heat Exchangers: Regulate temperatures during various processing stages.
• Centrifuges: Separate solids from liquids and can be used in both extraction and refining processes.
• Vacuum Pumps: Used in processes like deodorization to maintain low pressure and prevent oil degradation.
