4.Groundnut Oil Production Market Potential
Groundnuts are a popular source of food throughout the world. Groundnut oil is used for cooking food and as a shortening or as a base for confectioneries and they can be used to make peanut butter. Groundnut oil ranks at the top among edible oils exported from India. It is a premium oil and its cost is also high. Most other edible oils are priced lower than groundnut oil. Groundnut oil is available in the market in refined and filtered forms. Although filtered oils are nutritionally superior in quality.
5.Raw Material For Groundnut Oil Production

7.Groundnut Oil Production Process & Technology
Groundnut oil production machine
Groundnut oil pretreatment & pre-pressing machine introduction:
Groundnut oil pretreatment & pre-pressing machine is the first step to process peanut and get peanut oil. Peanut processing generally refers to the process of extracting oil from oil seeds. The whole peanut oil processing begins with oilseed cleaning, and ends with oil refining. The peanut pretreatment & pre-pressing machine include cleaning section, crushing section, flaking section, softening section, cooking section and oil press section.
Groundnut oil pretreatment & pressing machine
Cleaning: Remove impurities such as leaves, sticks, stones, sand, dirt, spoiled seeds and metal contaminants. This process is commonly referred to cleaning and scalping equipment including sieve, destoner, peeling machine, magnetic devices, and belt conveyor etc. The cleaning machine is good for peanut oil pretreatment and pre-pressing machine.
Dehulling: Most oilseeds need to remove the abrasive shells before oil extracting, since the oil content of shells and hulls is less than 1%. Besides, shelling can not only improve the capacity of oil extraction equipment, increase the efficiency of oil production, but also can reduce wear of oil expeller. Dehuller is commonly used in peanut oil pretreatment and pre-pressing machine.
Crushing & Flaking: Most oilseeds require size reduction prior to oil extraction. Crusher and flaker are used in peanut oil pretreatment and pre-pressing machine. Some small seeds such as corn germ, rapeseed and canola don’t need to be cracked.
Cooking: Heating the seed is an option, but not necessary. It can increases efficiency of extraction and protein availability.
Pre-pressing: The oilseeds pre-pressing machine adopts domestic mature DY series pre-presser which specialized for peanut, the oil residue in cake after pre-pressing is about 10-18%, the peanut cake can adopt solvent extraction method to get more oil. The most features of this machine is low energy consumption, less occupied area, etc which is the first choice for peanut pre-pressing.
Groundnut oil solvent extraction plant introduction:

Functions of Groundnut oil solvent extraction plant main parts：
Extracting: To extract the oil in the cake by solvent, the general solvent is 6# extraction solvent oil or commercial hexane.
Desolventising: To remove and recover the solvent in the meal; Dry and cool down the meal at the same time.
Evaporating and stripping: Heating the the miscella by indirect steam, so that can vaporize the solvent and concentrate the miscella.
Solvent recycling: This process is to recover the solvent, decrease solvent consumption, Solvent recycling can keep safety production and improve product quality in peanut oil solvent extraction plant.
Groundnut oil refinery plant introduction:
Groundnut oil refinery plant
Groundnut oil refinery plant is the main equipment of peanut/groundnut oil mill plant. Groundnut oil refinery plant can refine crude groundnut oil and get standard groundnut oil. Groundnut oil refinery plant consists of degumming process ,deacidification process ,decolorization process and deodorization process.
Main process of groundnut oil refining machine
(1) Degumming ---- to remove gum and impurities from crude oil
(2) Deacidification---using alkali to neutralize acid inside crude oil
(3) Decoloration--- using clay to bleach crude oil
(4) Deodorization-- using deodorizing tower to remove odor from crude oil , then will get refined peanut oil
