From this we can know that if your processing capacity is small (1-20tpd), the two raw materials can be directly pressed by one oil press, and you can also add cookers, filters, etc. according to your needs. However, if the processing capacity is relatively large, it is necessary to increase, decrease or replace equipment, such as cleaning equipment during the production of sunflower oil and cottonseed oil, and kernel husk separator. Oil presses, filters, solvent extraction machine and refining machine can be used in common.

2. Oil characteristics

In addition to the wax in the shell of sunflower seeds, sunflower seeds themselves also contain wax. Even if the shells are peeled off, the obtained sunflower oil must be dewaxed. Cottonseed contains gossypol, which must be removed with refining machine, otherwise it will be harmful to men. Therefore, whether you are using small scale sunflower oil production equipment or large scale sunflower oil production equipment, Henan Glory Company recommends that you need to clean up the equipment in time after one of the cooking oils is produced, and then produce another vegetable oil, so as not to produce mixed oils and cause unnecessary loss.
