Sunflower processing line 750 kg/h

A set of technological equipment equipped with an automated process control system for operator control. The technological line is based on highly efficient hot and cold pressed oil presses, an extruder, and a filter for primary oil purification, which are selected for a specific technological process in accordance with the required capacity of the line. The integrated line includes an automated process control system that monitors all processes and records all key production indicators.

Appointment

The sunflower processing line is designed to produce high-quality cake with minimal residual oil content and maximum yield of sunflower oil from oilseeds.  Sunflower oil can be used for both food and technical purposes. The cake is used as a protein-rich additive in the production of compound feeds or in the feeding diet. It provides the company with protein raw materials in the shortest possible time and is a tool for import substitution.

Raw materials and products

The raw materials are sunflower oil seeds, the products are sunflower cake and sunflower oil.

Technology

TECHNOLOGICAL SCHEME OF SUNFLOWER PROCESSING

The technological schemes of the sunflower processing line use technologies of SINGLE OR DOUBLE PRESSING WITH EXTRUSION in order to obtain maximum oil yield. The use of different modifications and connection schemes of the equipment allows us to offer different design solutions - from processing small volumes of seeds to large production enterprises, taking into account the technical requirements of customers.

Efficiency of extrusion technology

- The equipment allows you to get a high–quality and well-digestible product with a high protein content - cake;
- Increases oil yield;
- Improving the taste of the feed and increasing its nutritional value;
- The introduction of extruded cake into the diet of ruminants increases their productivity; 
- By introducing extruded cake into the diet, the biological value of the feed and its digestibility increase;
- During extrusion, the cake is disinfected from pathogenic microflora.

The technological scheme of processing raw materials by the line includes the following technological operations:

• Seed weighing (optional);
• Cleaning of seeds from dust, sand, stones, large impurities and metal impurities;
• Peeling of sunflower seeds;
• Primary pressing;
• Extrusion;
• Secondary pressing;
• Oil purification (filtration);
• Storage and release of oil into transport containers;
• Cooling, storage and release of cake;

Before primary pressing, oil seeds are cleaned of weeds, oilseeds and metallic impurities. Impurities include shells, remains of leaves and stems, sand, lumps of earth, stones, seeds of wild and cultivated plants, damaged seeds of the main crop.

Sunflower seeds sent to the SEPARATOR for cleaning are sorted on two pairs of sieves located in parallel in the sieve housing (upper and lower pair of sieves).

For sunflower oil seeds, the sieves indicated in the table are used.

The standard size of the sieves can be selected by the enterprise individually, taking into account the characteristics of the raw materials.

The exit from the upper sieve is large impurities, the passage of the lower sieve is small impurities. In the aspiration chamber, the raw materials are cleaned from light, dry, non-adhering particles. The loss of velocity and the force of inertia are used to separate the particles.

The purified sunflower oil seeds enter the HUSKER and pass through the magnetic protection. After collapsing, they are separated, with the separation of the husk from the grain and sent to the ACTIVE STORAGE through a NORMALIZER that provides heating of the raw material to 35 ° C with the possibility of adjusting the heating temperature using the automated process control system. After heating, the grain enters the FIRST PRESSING, where about 50% of the oil is squeezed out. After the press, the cake is fed into the EXTRUDER, where it undergoes heat treatment. The hot extrudate is sent to the SECOND PRESSING.

At the second stage of pressing, the residual oil is squeezed out, it passes through a FILTRATION SYSTEM and enters STORAGE TANKS with subsequent shipment to vehicles. After pressing the oil, the resulting cake is cooled and fed to a warehouse for storage and further shipment.

The technological process takes place in automatic mode and is controlled from the operator room. 1-2 people are needed to manage and maintain the line. A video surveillance kit and remote access can be provided in the delivery package.

The incoming humidity of the raw material is 6-7%
The residual oil content in the cake is 10-12 %
