sunflower oil mill process
step 1: Cleaning
Remove the impurities of sunflower, including straw, iron filings, stones, etc.
step 2: Shelling
The hulls of the sunflower, making the content of the hulls in the seeds below 10%. While the contents within the seeds are less than 1%.
step 3: Crushing
Sunflower seeds are crushed by equipment to facilitate the subsequent processing of sunflower seed oil. After grinding, they can be further processed into flake-like pieces to break down the cell structure, making it easier to extract the oil.
step 4: Cooking
Using a cooking machine adjusts the water content and temperature of sunflower embryos.
step 5: Pressing
After processing, the germs were pressed to extract sunflower seed oil using a screw-type oil press.
step 6: Refining
Refining is to remove the most impurities of sunflower oil, thereby increasing the quality of the oil.
Step 7: Dewaxing
Crude sunflower oil has higher wax. So sunflower oil need to dewax process. The temperature of the sunflower seed oil is lowered (usually to below 0°C), and then the oil is sent to a crystallization tank and cooled for 8 hours to allow it to crystallize and separate the wax components in the oil. Subsequently, the wax is separated from the oil through filtration.
