A sunflower oil milling machine is designed to process sunflower seeds into oil through a series of steps involving cleaning, dehulling, pressing, and filtration. It is commonly used in small to large-scale oil mills for the efficient extraction of sunflower oil.
Key Features of a Sunflower Oil Milling Machine:
1. Multi-functional Processing:
- Cleaning: Ensures seeds are free from impurities like dust, stones, and plant debris.
- Dehulling: Removes the hard shell from the sunflower seeds to increase oil yield.
- Pressing: Uses a screw press or expeller to extract oil from the sunflower seeds.
- Filtration: Filters the extracted oil to remove solid particles, producing clear and pure oil.
2. Capacity:
- Small Scale: Typically processes around 50 kg/h to 500 kg/h of sunflower seeds.
- Medium Scale: Can process up to 5 tons per day.
- Large Scale: Industrial units can process more than 50 tons per day.
3. Automation Level:
- Semi-Automatic Machines: Require manual feeding of seeds and some human intervention.
- Fully Automatic Machines: Automate the entire process from seed input to oil filtration and output.
4. Material:
- Built with stainless steel or carbon steel to ensure durability and hygiene in oil processing.
5. Efficiency:
- High oil extraction efficiency with an oil yield of 35%-50%, depending on seed quality and processing technique.
- Modern milling machines are designed for low energy consumption and high output.
