PEMAC’S SUNFLOWER SEED OIL MILL / OIL EXPELLER PLANT: PROCESS, MACHINERY & BENEFITS

The demand for edible oils continues to grow worldwide, creating significant opportunities for oilseed processing businesses. A Sunflower Seed Oil Mill, also known as an Oil Expeller Plant or Screw Press Plant, is designed to extract oil from oil-bearing seeds through mechanical pressing. This process provides an efficient and cost-effective method for producing high-quality crude oil while generating valuable oil cake by-products.

PEMAC Projects offers complete turnkey solutions for oil mill and oil expeller plants for a wide range of oilseeds.

What is an Oil Mill / Oil Expeller/Screw Press Plant?

An Oil Mill Plant is a processing facility that extracts oil from oilseeds using mechanical screw presses or oil expellers. The extracted crude oil can be sold directly or further processed in an oil refinery.

Pemac’s Oil expeller plants are suitable for processing: Sunflower Seeds, Mustard Seeds, Canola / Rapeseed, Groundnuts / Peanuts, Sesame Seeds, Cottonseeds, Safflower Seeds, Niger Seeds, Palm Kernel and Other Oil-Bearing Seeds.

1. Seed Cleaning

Raw oilseeds are cleaned to remove dust, stones, metals, husks, and other impurities to ensure efficient operation and higher oil recovery.

2. Seed Preparation

Depending on the oilseed type, preparation may include:

•          Cracking

•          Dehulling

•          Flaking

•          Conditioning

Proper preparation improves extraction efficiency and reduces oil losses.

3. Seed Cooking

Prepared seeds are heated in steam cookers to optimize moisture and temperature levels before pressing.

4. Mechanical Oil Extraction

The conditioned seeds are fed into a screw press or oil expeller where oil is extracted through continuous mechanical pressing.

5. Oil Filtration

The crude oil is filtered to remove suspended solids and obtain cleaner oil for storage and packing or is send to refinery for further process.

6. Oil Cake Handling

•          Animal Feed

•          Poultry Feed

•          Aquaculture Feed

•          Organic Fertilizer

Major Equipment in an Oil Expeller Plant

A typical oil mill plant may include:

•          Seed Cleaner

•          Destoner

•          Seed Cracker

•          Dehuller

•          Steam Cooker

•          Screw Conveyor

•          Oil Expeller / Screw Press

•          Oil Filter Press

•          Oil Storage Tanks

•          Oil Cake Handling System

High Oil Recovery: Modern screw press technology ensures efficient oil extraction and maximum recovery.

Lower Operating Cost: Mechanical extraction plants require less investment compared to large-scale solvent extraction facilities.

Continuous Operation: Oil expeller systems are designed for reliable and continuous production.

Valuable By-Products: Oil cake generated during extraction creates additional revenue streams.

Flexible Processing: The same plant can often process multiple oilseeds with minor modacvxifications.

Plant Capacities Available: PEMAC Projects supplies oil mill and screw press plants in various capacities, including:5 TPD To 500 TPD and Above
