The Guance Machinery fully continuous oil refining plant integrates a series of sophisticated processes, from degumming and neutralization to bleaching and deodorization, into a seamless, uninterrupted workflow.
Our designs accommodate a wide variety of raw material solutions, including crude soybean oil, palm oil, olive oil, rapeseeds oil, coconut oil, mustard oil and animal fat oil processing.
Fully Continuous Oil Refining Process
A typical Guance Machinery fully continuous oil refining plant incorporates the following core processes:
1. Continuous Degumming and Neutralization
Crude oil is pre-heated, then treated with phosphoric acid to convert non-hydratable gums into hydratable forms.
Subsequently, caustic soda (NaOH) solution is precisely introduced to neutralize free fatty acids (FFA), forming soapstock. High-speed centrifuges efficiently separate the soapstock from the neutral oil.
2. Continuous Bleaching
The neutral oil is heated under vacuum, and bleaching earth (activated clay) is added.
This process adsorbs pigments, residual soap, and other impurities, improving the oil’s color and stability. The spent bleaching earth is then removed via plate oil filter machine.
3. Continuous Deodorization
Bleached oil enters a high-vacuum, high-temperature (typically 240-270°C) deodorizer.
Steam is injected to strip away volatile compounds, including remaining free fatty acids, aldehydes, and ketones, which contribute to undesirable flavors and odors. This stage is crucial for achieving a bland, stable edible oil.
4. Continuous Dewaxing
For certain oils like sunflower seed oil or corn germ oil, a dewaxing unit is integrated.
This process cools the oil to crystallize waxes, which are then separated by filtration, preventing cloudiness at lower temperatures.
