What machines are used in cooking oil making process?

If you want to start a cooking oil making plant, it’s necessary to know what machines are used in cooking oil making process. On the whole, in cooking oil making process, it contains cleaning machine, cracking machine, flaking machine, cooking machine, cooking oil press machine, cooking oil solvent extraction machine and cooking oil refining machine.

Different machines used in cooking oil making process

Of course, for different oil seeds, given its special feature, the machines used are different. In order to give you better understanding, I’ll introduce to you the special machine for each oil seed.

The feature of peanut/groundnut and sunflower seed is more similar from the oil-making perspective. Both of them are with shell and belongs to high oil content oil seeds. Correspondingly, peanut and sunflower seed need shelling machine after cleaning. Targeting this high oil content oil seeds, it’s better to use pre-pressing and solvent extraction method instead of pressing straightly. In this way, though pre-pressing, a part of oil could be pressed out before solvent extracting.

Rice bran is a by-product in rice processing mill. Because of its easy rancidity feature, rice bran need to be puffed by puffing machine once coming from rice mill. The rice bran oil making process is very special.

Puffing machine used in rice bran oil making process

After puffing, it needs other pretreatment machines before pressing: water modulation cooker, drying machine and cooling machine.

The same as rice bran, corn germ also is a by-product in corn starch processing mill. It is a part of corn. In corn oil making process, it is difficult to control its moisture content and temperature. If moisture content high, corn germ will too thick, or it will too dry vice versa. Both states are not proper to press. Thus, the softening pot is necessary in corn germ making process.

Cotton seed always with fiber and shell, so in cotton seed oil making process, it needs fiber removing machine, combined sieve and cotton seed sheller.

Palm fruit, avocado and shea butter these three material belong to plant fruit type. Their oil making processes are totally different from the oil seeds I refered before, which need designing by professional engineers. If you have plenty of these fruits or want to start a oil making plant, welcome you to contact us. Doing Mechanical Equipment Co.,ltd have specialized engineer team to process plant fruit type oil material.

Now you must have a general understanding about the machines used in cooking oil making process. So different oil seeds need different machines. Tell us your oil seeds and how many tons you want to process per day. Our engineers will design for your cooking oil making plant.
