How does Soybean Oil Extraction Machine Work?

The production of commercial soybean oil is complicated. The mechanical production of soybean oil with hydraulic presses is not much used because it’s expensive and gives lower yields. Soybean oil is normally produced by Soybean Oil Extraction Machine with solvents.
First the soybeans are cut in flakes which are put in a percolation extractors and immerged with a solvent, normally hexane. Counterflow is used as extraction system because it gives the highest yield. After removing the hexane, the extracted flakes only contain about 1% of soybean oil and is used as livestock meal or to produce food products such as soy protein. The hexane is separated from the soybean oil in evaporators. The evaporated hexane is recovered and returned to the extraction process. The hexane free crude soybean oil is then further purified.
Flow chart of soybean oil processing:
Soybean -- cleaning -- crushing -- softening--- flaking -- drying -- soybean flakes-to extraction workshop;

Crude soybean oil—Degumming & Deacidification --- Decolorization --- Filtration ---Deodorization --- Finished oil
We can supply the turn key project of soybean oil production plant, from flaking to extruding to solvent extraction to refinery and final package, processsing capacity from 10T/D to 500T/D. Pls inform us the capacity you want when you inquiry.
