  • 200tpd soybean oil production plant with meal process
  • What is the preparatory section in the soybean oil manufacturing process?
  • First comes the preparatory section in the soybean oil manufacturing process. It marks the initial stage where raw soybeans are processed to make them ready for oil extraction. Upon arrival at an oil mill, seeds often contain various foreign materials acquired during harvesting or transportation.
  • How is soybean meal produced?
  • Soybean meal is produced by different processing methods such as solvent extraction (soybean flakes 1.5% oil), and mechanical extraction by screw press (soymeal press cake >5% oil). Soymeal accounts for 62.5% of total oil meal and it also represents the 61% protein source to feed livestock (A. et al., 2011).
  • Why is process improvement important in soybean extraction plants?
  • Process improvement in extraction plants has continued with increasing emphasis on energy efficiency, cost reduction, reducing hexane loss, quality of meal and oil, and increased capacity, driven by a six-fold increase in soybean production since 1950 and by an increase in energy costs since 1970.
  • What are the four steps of soybean extraction?
  • The conventional soybean extraction process consists of four steps; preparation, extraction, solvent recovery from miscella and desolventizing/toasting of meal. Modern soybean processing involves large plants with many operations that must be considered. Transportation, material handling, drying, and milling are similar to other grain processing.
