What equipment is used for cold pressing of peanut oil?
Figure 3.8 shows the equipment used for cold pressing of peanut oil. First, a sheller is used to shell the peanuts. Then, the peanut kernels are transported to the low-temperature drying oven for drying after being subjected to precleaning, gravity/magnetic separation, and de-stoner cleaning.
What technology is used in peanut oil production?
The production of peanut oil involves several technologies. It starts with pretreatment technology and peanut pressing technology for high temperature and cold pressing. The oil is then extracted using leaching and separation technology. At the end of the process, the peanut oil production line and the relevant key equipment are discussed. (Section 3.1)
How does a peanut halving machine process peanuts?
In the peanut processing line, the dried peanut kernels are rapidly fed into the kernel-halving machine to peel the red skin. The machine processes the peanuts, and then the resulting halves are transported to the color sorting machine by a conveyor to effectively remove the yellow-spotted, moldy, worm-eaten, or incompletely peeled peanuts.
What technology is used for extracting peanut oil?
The leaching method, also known as the extraction method, is the technology used for extracting peanut oil. It involves using certain organic solvents that can dissolve fat to spray and immerse the oil-bearing materials, eventually separating the fat from the materials.
