Prepress solvent extraction relies on exerting medium pressure on the prepared seed to separate the majority of the oil, followed by solvent extraction to separate additional oil from the solids fraction, recovering over 40% oil from the seed in modern crushing plants.
How is sunflower crushed for oil recovery?
Sunflower is crushed for oil recovery via one of two process methods, hard pressing or prepress solvent extraction. Hard pressing relies upon exerting high pressure on the prepared seed to separate oil from the solids fraction, historically recovering about 25% oil from the seed.
How much electricity does a 2000 tpd sunflower crushing plant use?
A typical 2000 TPD sunflower crushing plant will consume approximately 15 tons per hour of steam, so it is possible to supply 100% of the sunflower crushing plant steam demand. The 2000 kW of electricity generated will offset nearly half of the sunflower plant’s electrical demand.
What is a prepress solvent extraction method in a sunflower crushing plant?
In a typical sunflower crushing plant using the prepress solvent extraction method, the initial steps of seed pre-cleaning and seed drying are located in the seed receiving section of the facility, prior to seed storage.
