Soybean Oil Refining
Oil Pretreatment involves cleaning, dehulling, and conditioning to prepare soybeans for pressing.
Key Points:
- Remove stones, dust, and impurities
- Adjust moisture content
- Ensure uniform heating for pressing efficiency
Soybean Oil Pressing is the core stage where oil is extracted from prepared soybeans. Depending on plant scale, mechanical screw pressing or hydraulic pressing is used.
Functions of Pressing Equipment:
- High oil yield with minimal residue
- Continuous operation for large-scale plants
- Integration with downstream refining units
Oil Refining transforms crude soybean oil into edible, high-quality oil. Main steps include degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization.
Benefits of Refining:
- Remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, and odor
- Enhance color, stability, and taste
- Meet international food safety standards
Automatic Bottling of Finished Oil
Once refined, soybean oil is automatically bottled for distribution. Automation ensures hygiene, uniformity, and efficiency.
Features of Automatic Bottling Systems:
- Precise filling and capping
- Labeling and packaging integration
- Minimal manual intervention
