Raw Materials to Finished Oil Legend
The quality of raw soybeans directly impacts the final oil output.
Soybean
Soybean Cleaning
Soybeans Oil Pressing
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
Oilseed Destoner Machine
Sheller Machine (Kernel Shell)
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
Screw Oil Press
Plate Oil Filter Machine
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
