Impact of different pressing methods on the quality and nutritional properties of sunflower oil

The demand for vegetable oils is constantly growing. To make it a true source of microelements, beneficial vitamins and amino acids, the production process must be carried out properly: prepare the raw materials for processing; process it; process the final product. Oil can be produced by extraction using solvents or by cold and hot pressing using various equipment assembled into a pressing line. TAN offers high-quality equipment for oil and fat plants at attractive prices. Our experts will help you choose the best equipment option. Basics of sunflower oil production If we are talking about the pressing method to produce oil, the production technology involves the following steps drying of sunflower seeds; cleaning the seeds from debris and husks;  hulling (destruction of seed shells by mechanical action); separation of the husk into kernels and husks; grinding kernels on rolling machines to produce oilcake (pulp). The latter is a semi-finished product […]

Sunflower oil refining technologies: how to improve its quality and shelf life

Various types of vegetable oils, including sunflower oil, can be refined or unrefined. Both types of this product are obtained from the same raw material, but different methods are used to extract oil from it and further processing. In the case of unrefined, it is cold or hot pressing, and in the case of refined, it can be also solvent extraction. In addition, refined oil undergoes several stages of processing and purification using a comprehensive vegetable oil refining and deodorization line that includes various types of specialized equipment, while unrefined oil undergoes only mechanical filtration. What is oil refining? Refining is the process of purifying a substance from undesirable impurities. In case of vegetable oil, it means removing undesirable non-fat, organoleptic and other types of impurities using various purification methods: physical chemical combination of physical and chemical.  Each of these methods removes different types of impurities from the oil. Advantages […]

Launching of an oil refining and deodorization plant 

TAN provides comprehensive services for the launch of oil processing plants. We do not just sell equipment and production lines, but also carry out their commissioning at oil production plants of our customers. In February 2023, our specialists carried out commissioning works at the plant of PAC Garant-2005 LLC in Velykobahachansky district, Poltava region. Client’s goal The main goal of the client was to switch to the production of high-quality refined sunflower oil from raw materials of domestic origin. The company’s management decided to launch the production of refined oil that meets state requirements and customer preferences. The secondary goal is to sell by-products of vegetable oil refining (soapstock, phosphatide concentrate).  What has been implemented? To solve the client’s challenges, we installed a refining and deodorization line with a capacity of 200 tons per day. The equipment of our production was used, and the installation and commissioning was carried out […]

How to start sunflower oil production: step by step

The global market for sunflower oil is about 10 million tons. This volume grows all the time. Large plants produce a significant part of the oil in Ukraine, but 20-30% is produced by medium and small companies. It is quite possible to compete with the big players – the market demand is stable. It does not depend on the season, the economic situation and other external factors, so this is an attractive business. Planning and preparation for the launch of sunflower oil production Planning and preparation for the launch of sunflower oil production is a mandatory step that determines the success of the future enterprise. Preparation includes several important stages: It is important to pay proper attention to each step to ensure the efficient and successful operation of production. Thorough market research, an efficient production process and high-quality raw materials are the keys to success. Sunflower oil production process The […]

Vegetable oil extractor: what is this and why is it used

Extraction is a popular way to extract vegetable oil. This method allows increasing the yield of the product. Extractors are a universal type of equipment used in production process. The extraction method of oil production can be used both in its pure form and in combination with mechanical pressing, which will allow you to get even more product. Vegetable oil extractors Extraction is the process of transferring oil from an oil-containing material to a solvent by means of molecular and convective diffusion. Continuous extraction is the main method for the degreasing of oilseeds. During the extraction process, the solvent can move either towards the raw material or in the same direction as it. In the first case, the process is called countercurrent, and in the second – forward flow. Extractor operation principle The entire extraction process includes 4 main steps: Continuous methods are used to extract oil from raw materials. […]

How vegetable oil is refined

Vegetable oil is one of the key ingredients in the food industry. It is widely used for cooking and food production. However, crude vegetable oil usually contains undesirable impurities such as free fatty acids, waxes, pigments, seed residues, and other substances that can affect quality and stability of oil. To remove these impurities, a refining process consisting of several stages is carried out. The main stages of the vegetable oil refining process Refining process includes several stages, each of which removes different impurities from the oil. Water degumming and neutralization The first step in the refining process is water degumming and neutralization. The crude vegetable oil is treated with steam or hot water, which moisturizes it and removes phosphorus and other hydrophilic substances. A neutralizing agent, usually an alkali, is then added to the oil to bind free fatty acids and other acidic impurities to form a soapstock. Bleaching The […]

Are vegetable oils obtained by means of solvent extraction method  safe?

One of the most efficient methods of edible oil production is solvent extraction. In this process, the oil cake, i.e. the material from which the oil is extracted, is immersed in a solvent. The combination of heat and solvents is able to separate and extract the oil from the raw material of plant origin. The use of an extraction line allows you to get more oil from raw materials than with a technology that uses only a screw oil press, so this method is popular with manufacturers. But consumers often have a question: Is solvent-extracted oil safe? To answer this question, it is necessary to explain some details of the extraction process. Solvent extraction process of vegetable oils Extraction is the process of obtaining the oil from the cake using solvents. For efficient operation of the line, the seeds are preliminary pressed, which significantly increases the oil yield. Main steps […]
