Our oil mill machinery and equipment deserve praise for their excellent quality. The countries producing sunflower seeds for oil include Ukraine, Russia, Argentina, China, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Hungary, USA, and Tanzania. We undertake turnkey project solutions for the complete sunflower seed oil extraction plant.
How are sunflower seeds conditioned?
Before oil extraction, sunflower seeds are conditioned using steam in a Vertical Cooking Kettle. This process is essential to prepare the seeds for optimal oil extraction. The conditioned sunflower seeds are then fed into the chamber for oil extraction. The sunflower seeds contain 35 ¨C 40 % oil content and double pressing is required to extract maximum oil, leaving 9 ¨C 11 % residual oil in the sunflower meal which is an excellent source of Animal Feed.
Are there different types of sunflower oil seeds?
Several varieties of sunflower oil seeds have been developed by standard plant breeding methods, mainly to vary the amounts of oleic acid and linoleic acid which, respectively, are the predominant monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in sunflower oil. Sunflower oil is a rich source of vitamin E (tables).
How to start a sunflower oil mill plant?
To start a sunflower oil mill plant, there are several basic machinery requirements that need to be met. These include machinery for seed cleaning, seed conditioning, oil extraction, oil filtration, steam generation, and oil filling. There are various processes involved in Sunflower Oil Mill Plants.
