The solvent extraction plant is designed to extract oil directly from oil seeds containing less than 20% oil, like soybeans, after flaking. Or it extracts oils from pre-pressed or fully pressed cake of seeds containing more than 20% oil like sunflowers, peanuts, cotton seed, palm kernels, canola, copra, castor and a variety of other materials.
Is expeller-pressed sunflower oil better than solvent extraction?
While the solvent extraction method has a lower residual oil rate, it might entail a significant solvent consumption, resulting in elevated production costs for sunflower oil processing plants. Consequently, many oil production plants are inclined to opt for the method of expeller-pressed sunflower oil, achieving the desired production outcomes.
What are the two methods of sunflower oil extraction?
Common sunflower seed oil extraction processes can be categorized into two methods: expeller pressed sunflower oil and solvent extraction. Next, we will briefly introduce these two methods of sunflower oil production. Sunflower Oil Press & Extraction Machinery for Sale What is expeller pressed sunflower oil?
What is a solvent extraction machine for sunflower oil?
Expeller pressed sunflower oil and solvent extraction methods are two common production processing for sunflower oil. Using the pressing method typically results in an oil residue rate of around 7%, whereas solvent extraction can reduce the oil residue rate to about 1%. It’s worth noting that solvent extraction machine is costlier.
