Sunflower oil refinery plant is one of the most popular sunflower oil processing machine. Sunflower oil refinery plant mainly used to refine crude sunflower oil to standrd cooking oil. To achieve this goal, sunflower oil refinery plant usually needs to go through a series process, such as degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization and dewaxing.

Different types sunflower oil refinery plant

Sunflower oil refinery plant related information:

Refining type: According to the customer's requirements, Doing Machinery can supply batch type, semi-continuous,fully continuous sunflower oil refinining machine to meet different needs.

Refining Purpose: The goal of sunflower oil refining is to remove Gums, Waxes, Phosphatides, Free Fatty Acids (F.F.A.) and other impurities in crude sunflower oil to make healthier cooking oil.

Methods: In the actual sunflower oil refining process, the chemical refining and physical refining usually are used together.(But, no matter what kinds of refining methods rae used, they are all done with the help of various sunflower oil refinery equipment and machinery.)

Application: Sunflower oil refinery plant widely used to refine various kinds of crude edible oil, such as soybean oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, corn germ oil, cottonseed oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil and so on.

Process Description for Sunflower Oil Refinery Plant:

Automatic sunflower oil refinery plant is a little different with other vegetable oil refining, because sunflower oil contains too much wax, then except normal vegetable oil refining process, we need add dewaxing after oil refined in sunflower oil refinery process. With dewaxing, sunflower oil will keep transparent and clear even in winter. So, the sunflower oil refinery plant comprises of the following different processes:

Degumming process;

Neutralizing process;

Bleaching process;

Deodorizing process;

Dewaxing process;

General introduction of sunflower oil refinery process：

Sunflower oil degumming and deacidification process is a necessary step for the production of cooking oil products. The objective of this process is to remove the impurities and other components, which will affect the quality of finished product.

Sunflower oil bleaching step: removing pigments from oil. Within the bleaching process the oil is in contact with active substances (bleaching earth) which absorb the undesired particles. Over a period of time, the pigment was removed by adsorption principle.

Sunflower oil deodorization step: steam is injected into the deodorization tank or deodorization tower, the FFA (free fatty acids) and other undesirable volatiles will be taken away by the stripping steam.

Dewaxing is the special treatment for sunflower oil, cooling sunflower oil, high melting point component will crystallize, through filtration process,the refined sunflower oil is divided into liquid and solid to achive different product uses.

Main equipment and purpose of batch type sunflower oil refinery plant:

1. Decoloring tank: bleach pigments from oil.

2. Deodorizing tank: remove the un-favored smell from decolorized oil.

3. Oil furnace: provide enough heat for the refining sections which need high temperature of 280℃.

4. Vacuum pump: provide high pressure for bleaching, deodorization which can reach 755mmHg or more.

5. Air compressor: dry the bleached clay after bleaching.

6. Filter press: filter the clay into the bleached oil.

7. Steam generator: generate steam distillation.
