High quality extracting oil from sunflower seeds

  High quality extracting oil from sunflower seeds

Sunflower oil is the most widely used oil due to its high linoleic content which is considered nutritionally positive. The kernel accounts for 70% of the seed and the oil content is about 40%-45% in the seeds.

The whole sunflower oil making line contains three workshops:

1. Sunflower Oil press workshop craft:

• It is necessary for hulling the sunflowerseeds before pressing, so it could reduce the wax content of final oil, whcih is bad for human.
• Normally the oil pressing plant is composed of seeds cleaning & crushing unit, steaming and drying units, pressing unit, conveyor, electrical cabinet box, etc. The oil pressing unit as the main stage, to make the vegetable seeds flake in a hardened cage to squeeze oil content out. It's complete set of oil pressing equipment, which is automatically operated to save more labor and cost.
• Including to the following machinery and parts:
  Electrical apparatus control, materials feeder, conveyer, screening machine, steaming & frying machine, huller machine, medium boilor etc.
• The by-products from the oil press are cake and soap residue. The cake could be used as animal food with our pelleting machinery, or source material for the other way of extraction. Soap residue is the source material for laundry soap with soap making machinery and washing detergent. 

2.sunflower Oil extraction workshop craft:

• The second way to extract oil for using chemical solvent to dissolve oil content contained in cake or direct oil seeds, only for lower oil seeds, for example soybean.
• Then oil is separated from solvent by vaporizing solvent out. In configuring the solvent extraction plant, pre-pressing may be involved in which case seeds are lightly pressed, and which leaves about 14% to 18% oil in the pressed cake.
• Solvent extraction will further process these cakes and leave less than 1% oil in the final cake. This method results in higher yields, more oil; Lower power consumption, lower wear & tear / maintenance and high extract efficiency.
• Thus it could be used as complement equipment to extract the oil remained in cake, which yields are extra profits. Certainly if the capacity is less than 50 tons, or it is high rate of output oil, this process could be saved

  3. Oil refining workshop craft:

• The crude vegetable oil from above mentioned two ways of extracting, oil pressing and/or solvent extraction, will be pumped into oil refinery units to produce cooking oil at various grades.
• The main equipment of oil refinery is various kinds of vessels and tanks carrying on different tasks with additives.
• These tasks may include sedimentation/filtering, neutralization (removing free fatty acid), degumming, decolorization (bleaching), deodorization, especially the dewax process is necessary, more wax would destroy the quality of sunflower oil.
• Different combination of steps and the treating degree of each step result in different grade cooking oil and salad oil.

Cooking With Sunflower Oil

• One of the benefits of sunflower oil is that it is extremely light in flavor, so the oil doesn't overpower the rest of a dish's ingredients. This light flavor is perfect in simple pasta dishes, including shrimp and broccoli pasta, and pastas using simple garlic or lemon sauces. To make shrimp and broccoli pasta, saute shrimp in a large skillet using 2 tbsp. of sunflower oil. Once the shrimp are cooked, add cooked pasta, steamed broccoli, 3 tbsp. of sunflower oil, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Saute on medium heat for two minutes or until all ingredients are combined.
  

Frying With Sunflower Oil

• Because sunflower oil is low in saturated fat, many use the oil for frying. Unlike canola oil,which is high in saturated fat, sunflower oil is composed of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, making it a much healthier alternative. Use sunflower oil to fry potato skins, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, chicken or seafood. Use a simple batter made with flour, egg and water, or bread and cracker crumbs. Heat sunflower oil in medium pot or fryer, dip products in and remove once the batter is brown and crispy. Allow to cool, and enjoy.

Baking With Sunflower Oil

• Sunflower oil can also be used as a healthier alternative to traditional baking fats, including butter, margarine and vegetable shortening. Next time you bake, use sunflower oil to reduce the amount of saturated fat in your cookies, brownies and cakes. One cup of butter, margarine or vegetable shortening is equivalent to 3/4 cup of sunflower oil, and 1/2 cup is equivalent to 1/3 cup of sunflower oil.
