What is the process of producing oil from sunflower seeds? We generally use the sunflower oil press to produce oil from
sunflower seeds. Its operation process mainly includes two
stages of pretreatment and pressing. The pretreatment is to
adjust the sunflower seeds to the best state before pressing,
increase the oil yield and improve the oil quality. Sunflower seeds pretreatment
1. Cleaning
The freshly harvested sunflower seeds contain many impurities,
so they need to be cleaned first. The stones, steel wires, etc. are
screened out through a magnetic separator, a vibrating screen
and a destoner, which is convenient for subsequent processing
and can also prevent damage to the machine.
2. Hulling
Use the disc huller to hull sunflower seeds to separate the
kernel shells. This step is to reduce the residual oil rate.
3. Flaking
The separated sunflower kernels are rolled from the granular
shape to the flake shape with the flaking roll. The flake shape
can increase the surface area and shorten the oil path, which is
beneficial to the extraction of the oil.
4. Cooking
Feed the sunflower seed raw material in the shape of flake to
the cooker. After moistening and cooking, the temperature is
increased to achieve the purpose of removing water and
moisture, destroying the structure of the oil protein, and
denaturing it, thereby increasing the oil yield and improving the
quality of crude oil. .

Sunflower seed oil press machine
The processed sunflower seeds are sent to the sunflower seed
oil press for pressing to extract sunflower oil.
Of course, you can choose to further process the pressed
sunflower oil to refine sunflower oil with higher purity. Henan
Glory Company can provide you with equipment for each
section. If you want to know more, please feel free to contact
