What are the sections of the soybean oil production line?

Soybean oil plays a crucial role in culinary endeavors and everyday meal preparation. Behind the scenes, the production of soybean oil involves a meticulous process that transforms raw materials into the familiar and essential product we use daily. The soybean oil production line is a series of interconnected sections, each playing a vital role in ensuring the quality, purity, and safety of the final product.

1. Soybean Preparation Section

The journey of soybean oil begins with the selection and preparation of the raw materials. In this section, the soybeans undergo cleaning, sorting, and conditioning processes to remove impurities, dust, and unwanted particles. The goal is to provide a clean and uniform soybean base for the subsequent extraction processes.

After cleaning, the soybeans also need to be broken, softened, flaked, etc. Because seed size and moisture content will affect seed oil yield. Different seeds require different pretreatment processes. Henan DOING Company will provide you with different soybean pretreatment machines to ensure maximum oil yield.

2. Soybean Oil Extraction Section

The heart of the soybean oil production line lies in the oil extraction section. Various methods are employed, including mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, or a combination of both, depending on the type of oilseed. Mechanical pressing involves physically squeezing the oil out of the seeds, while solvent extraction utilizes chemical solvents to dissolve and extract the oil. This section is pivotal in obtaining the maximum yield of oil from the seeds.

If your daily processing capacity is less than 20 tons, you can choose mechanical pressing method, otherwise, choose solvent extraction. We can supply these two different edible oil production line machines.

3. Soybean Oil Refining Section

This oil refining section is also an important section of the soybean oil production line, which can refine crude oil into edible oil with national food standard. The extracted crude soybean oil undergoes refining to remove impurities, undesirable flavors, and odors. The refining section typically includes degumming, neutralization, decolorization, and deodorization processes. Degumming removes phospholipids, neutralization addresses free fatty acids, decolorization eliminates pigments, and deodorization removes volatile compounds responsible for off-flavors and odors. The result is a clear, colorless, and odorless refined oil ready for consumption.
