Oilseed Pretreatment
Oilseed Cleaning And Selecting
Oilseed cleaning and selecting is of great importance in the oilseed pretreatment process and later procedures. Generally speaking, oilseed cleaning can not only reduce the
wear and tear of the oil processing machinery but also enhance oil yield as well meal quality.

Unavoidably the raw material we gathered including a lot f impurities like straw, mud, sand, stone even iron which may damage the oilseed claning equipment in the cleaning
and separating process. Chaff left in the seed absorbs oil and prevents it from being expelled by the oil pressing machines. Sand in the seed will lead to wear, and stones within
the feed can damage screws of the machinery. Moreover, Impurities will absolutely become oil meal(cake) with absorbing a certain amount of oil in it, thus reduce the oil yield
rate. Besides, too much impurities mixed in the pressed oil will influence the quality both of the oil and the meal.

Oilseed Cleaning Equipment

There are a great number of impurities in oil bearing materials. Choosing oilseed cleaning equipment should be according to the oil seeds you are going to process as well as
impurities in the seeds. Simple equipment, process short, high cleaning efficiency are the aim of oilseed cleaning and selecting.

Oilseed Cleaning Equipment TQLZ Vibrating Sieve

TQLZ series vibrating sieve is one of the most used oilseed cleaning equipment which is vastly used in separation of impurities in pretreatment processing of oil engineering.
Seeds are properly cleaned into seed cleaner to remove unwanted material like dust, leafs, steins etc. Then the seed is subjected to destoner to remove various sizes of
stones / sand. This removal of unwanted material increases the life of machines & reduces the down time.

Features of the TQLZ Vibrating Sieve

Driven by double motors (Motors are branded CE certified)

Different density in sieve frames

Reciprocating vibrating from different angles, directions and with varied amplitude

Unique design according to customers special requirements

Apart from impurities removal, it can be used as classifer for middle products or finished products

Oilseed Cleaning Equipment - Cyclone Separator

The other machinery used in the oilseed cleaning and selecting is the cyclone separator. The major function is to remove the solid type
particles or liquid particles contained in the air of the conveyor media to acheive solid/liquid/air separation so as to assure normal
operation of pipe or equipment. It can remove 10m solid particles by 99% efficiency under designed pressure and air amount. And if
with 15% diviation, the efficiency will be about 97%.

Oilseed Cleaning Equipment - TQSF Gravity Stoner

Gravity stoner or destoner is another common used oilseed cleaning equipment. TQSF gravity stoner is an advanced new
generation of separation machine vastly used in oilseed cleaning and selecting. It is composed of two screen layers. The
upper layer can remove light matters and the lower layer is used to separate heavy matters like glass blocks, stones, and
metals.

Oilseed Cleaning Equipment - TCXT Magnetic Cleaner

TCXT series non power magnetic separation machine is mostly used to removemetal impurities in materials. The magnetic raw material is high density magnetic materials, the
body of this oilseed cleaning equipment is fully stainless steel made. Compact structure, high efficiency, land saving, non power needed.

Oilseed Hulling
Hulling process must under consideration when oil plants are high in rate of hull, such as sunflower seeds, peanuts and cotton seeds.

After cleaning, the oil bearing seeds are conveyed to the seed hulling machine to remove hulls from the oil seeds for the purpose of obtaining high quality edible oil by the
processing of kernels. Oilseed hullingis quite necessary and has a lot of advantages. For example, oilseed hulling can efficiently reduce fibrous content of the meal and
increase the marketability as stock feed. As we dont know, about 99% of oil is stored naturally in kernels and the hulls contain not more than 1% oil. If we dont remove hulls,
they will absorbing or retaining oil in the pressed cake and thus reduce total oil yield. Moreover, processing oilseeds without dehulling reduces the capacity of the oil extraction

equipment in addition to more repair and maintenance charges. Besides, wax and coloring matters in hulls always mixed with the pressed oil and you need to refine the oil with
extra money to get better edible oil.

Seed Hulling Machine

Disc huller is one of the widely used seed hulling machines in the process of oilseed hulling.It is used not only in the de-hulling of oilseed shells like cottonseed and peanuts, but
also in crushing oilseeds such as soybeans and even the oil cake.

GCBK Series Seed Hulling Machine

GCBK series seed hulling machine is the biggest and the best selling model which are usually used in large oil processing plant. Our machinerys structure is patented. Through
the addition of a stirring wheel between the fixed and moving discs, the working area is increased. This greatly increases the machines efficiency and capacity. Despite these

Oilseed Crushing And Conditioning

Once cleaned, the oilseeds are then sent to the oilseed conditioner for further processing. Here the machinery increases the moisture and temperature of the oilseeds to
soften them. Those oilseeds with more rigid structures and lower moisture content are then processed into powder by the oilseed flaking mill. After treatment by KMEC's
conditioners, the oilseeds are conferred with the ideal pliability for the flaking process. Due to the differing characteristics among various oilseed types, the conditioners utilize
mechanisms to adjust heat and moisture levels.

Oilseed Conditioner

Oilseed Flaking
Conditioned oilseeds are conveyed to the oilseed flaking machine, a machine which ruptures the cell tissue of the seeds and increases the surface area for oil extraction. The
flaking process is the essence of the oil extraction plant. Kernels entering the machine are first pressed into 0.3 millimeter flakes to generate maximum extraction rateswith oil
residues produced at a rate of less than 1 percent. KMEC'sflaking mills are designed for safety and reliability. The scraper is manufactured for precision to ensure continuous
operation with fewer stuck flakes.

Single Pressing

Single pressing can be also be called full pressing and usually be applied for smaller capacity oil milling plant, single pressing machine will be used in this process. This type
of pressing machine work on the principle of mechanical extraction and it extracts oil from the seeds. If the seeds have high oil content, double pressing should incorporated for
maximum yield. The oil could be extracted as much as possible, the oil residual in cake is around 5-7%. The use of single pressing machine doesnt need the extraction of oil
through chemical treatment.

Single Pressing Machine

The major advantage of using single pressing machine is that it increases the yield of oil by a large amounts. The quality of the oil is also pure and healthy as the process is not
chemically treated. Single pressing machines are used to extract oil from nearly all kinds of oil seeds and nuts like:

 Sunflower seeds
Cotton Seeds

Mustard seeds
Copra

Groundnuts
Lin seeds

Flax seeds
Soybeans and many more.

Prepressing
Prepressing is just one process in the oil milling plant. Prepressing is usually used for large capacities. The initial oil is extracted by prepressing machine and then the
prepressed cake will be sent into the Solvent Extraction Plant for later processing. Our prepressing machines are of high efficiency and provide durability that helps in
better extraction of oil from different kinds of seeds.

The seeds are first fed into the prepress expeller through the feeder opening. Then enter the pressing chamber, where they willl be pressed. 70% of the oil will be
extracted; the oil residual in cake is around 15-18%. The solid residue from prepressing is used for solvent extraction process so that the remaining oil can be extracted
from it. This type of prepressing machine has proved to be very fruitful to the rising needs for solvent extraction industry. The solvent plants are used to extract the
residual oil from the oil cakes that remain after the extraction of oil through the use of prepressers.

YZY240 Prepressing Machine YZY283 Prepressing Machine YZY320 Prepressing Machine

Hot Pressing
The hot pressing of oilseed refers to the application of heat in conjunction with mechanical pressure. In an oil milling plant hot pressing heats the oilseeds using a
specialized hot pressing machine which raises the temperature of the seeds in order to extract more oil.

Features of the Hot Pressing Machine

1. All primary components of KMEC's hot pressing machines are made of high-grade alloy steel which have undergone a special hardening treatment. This greatly improves
durability, extending the machine's work life despite exposure to high temperatures and constant abrasion while working day and night.
2. Settings of the hot pressing machinery are adjustable to handle a variety of oilseed types to yield oil of the highest quality.
3. The whole processfrom feeding to steaming, up to the discharge of oil and cake is performed automatically and continuously, thus making the machinery easier to operate
with a reduced labor requirement.

Hot Pressing Machine

Cold Pressing
Cold Pressing or cold milling refers to the process of mechanically separating oil through the pressing or crushing oil seeds without the addition of heat or chemicals. Naturally,
this action is performed by a cold pressing machine. As opposed to hot pressing, cold pressing maintains more of the oil's nutrients. The rate of chemical reactions doubles in
the oil press for every additional 10C of heat. This heat acts to increase the yielded quantity of oil, which is why heat pressed oil is cheaper than cold pressed oil. Furthermore,
when too much heat is applied in the oil milling process, the flavor, color, and quality of the extracted oil is affected. However, cold pressing is not totally without heat as its name
implies, as heat is created by friction in the expeller. To prevent denaturing of the oilseed's protein, temperatures should be kept below 70.

Cold Pressing Machine

Sesame Oil Press

This type of sesame oil press is practically designed to expel sesame seed. The sesame oil press is of compact structure, it is light and easy to operate. It can automatically
expel and filter the oil simultaneously, with a high rate of sesame oil production and greater oil yield.

Sesame Oil Press

Our sesame oil press is perfect for mobile operations such as at a vegetable market, a supermarket, a bazaar in the
countryside, or even at home. The residue can be used as fertilizer or forage.All parts of the sesame oil express can be
dismantled, installed, and maintained easily. Raw material quantities of 0.2-0.4kg are allowed to be fed into the oil press
when the press is hot. Usually, there are four main parts in the integrated sesame oil press, they are oil press, filter
press, hooper and electrical cabinet.

Characteristics of the Large Oil Press

1. Perfect Construction, Simple Control and Durable Service:
The machine is characterized by compact construction, high capacity, little floor-space occupation, durable service and easy operation. The amount of feed, the process of oil
yield and the thickness of cake can be readily ascertained at a glance. Their regulations, if necessary, can be satisfactorily made merely by manipulating the feed regulating
lever and
the cone setting lever. All the reduction gears operate in oil and the whole surfaces of gear teeth are hardened by heat treatment. The wormshaft (or mainshaft) of the oil
expeller is made of high-quality alloy steel, thus ensuring long sen/ice life. The pressing worms and
cage bars in the bar cage are also carburized, therefore, they are wearable and durable.
2. Combined Steaming and Roasting:
In order to suit the need for heating-up different seeds to varying temperatures for extraction of the oil of higher quality, the machine is provided with meal steaming and roasting
equipment. Steaming kettle which can heat up the above mentioned oil beanng mseeds to an optimum temperature before being fed into the pressing cage.
3. Automatic and Continuous Operation:
The meal is fed through the inlet opening into the every stage of the steaming kettle and is then gradually heated up and stirred in passing by the stirrer. Blades from one stage
to another. After being pushed out from the outlet of the bottom stage, it drops into the feed head and is delivered to the pressing cage to be compressed by various sections of
the pressing worms therein. The extracted oil flows through gaps betvveen cage bars into the oil screw conveyor and thence to an oil reservoir, whereas the cake is discharged
at the rear of the machine. All this shows that the whole process of oil extraction, beginning from feeding, steaming, heating up to oil and cake discharging, is fully automatic and
continuous. Therefore, when once the amount, the temperature and the moisture of seeds and the thickness of cake have been set, the operator needs only to observe the feed
indicating pointer, steam pressure gauges and ammeter and make adjustment when necessary, thus minimizing the requirement of supen/ision and greatly saving labour.

Solvent Extraction
Oil Seed Extractor
KMEC's oil seed extractors can process a variety of oilseeds including palm, peanut and sunflower seeds. The palm oil extractor is one popular model, from which the oil is
transported to the desolventizer.

Oil Seed Extractor Rotocel Extractor

KMEC's rotocel extractor has adopted a variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) drive with an adjustable rotation speed. A chain transmission imparts smooth, reliable
operation. The fixed-plate grid is made of stainless steel. Its precision 18-cell design and transverse plate grid prevents concentrated miscella from flowing to incorrect
chambers.
Unique rotor balancing ensures reduces power consumption, required maintenance and noise.
The rotation speed of the air lock and rotor extractor can be automatically adjusted to the quantity of incoming oilseeds to ensure a constant bin level. This will help
generate pressure in the oil seed extractor and prevent solvent from escaping.
Improved miscella circulation reduces solvent consumption and subsequent residues in the meal, increasing the miscella concentration. Energy is saved by
reducing the quantity evaporated.
The rotocel extractor is very popular for many kinds of pre-pressed cake. Cells at the higher bin levels make it easy to perform immersion extraction and reduce
meal fines in the miscella. All this will help improve the quality of the crude oil and reduce scaling in the evaporation system.
Expanded oil materials and pre-pressed cakes with 25 to 35 percent oil content can be extracted to a level of oil residue of less than 1 percent.

Oil Seed Extractor Loop Type Extractor

This model is comprised of pre-extraction, extraction, and draining sections. The miscella is rotated to ensure thorough, uniform extraction. Individual-cell spraying mechanisms
further ensure optimal extraction.
The loop-type extractor adopts a chain-drive system. Like the rotocel extractor, its structure is designed to reduce power consumption, maintenance requirements and noise.
However, this extractor utilizes percolation-style filtration. Rotation occurs at the bend of the machinery for efficient processing.

Desolventizer Toaster
Desolventizer toaster dryer cooler (DTDC) is used to separate solvent from wet meal in the solvent extraction plant. KMEC's desolventizer toaster dryer coolers have five
layers. The first and second are preheating layers which function using an indirect current of steam at the base. The third layer is pre-desolventizing layer which leads to the
fourth, main pre-desolventizing layer. The last layer dries the material.

Desolventizer Toaster Dryer Cooler

Desolventizer Toaster's Structural Advantages

Steam injection methodology ensures that less water vapor escapes, thereby reducing energy consumption.
The desolventizer toaster utilizes airtight conditions with a uniformly administered current of steam. This greatly reduces the amount of residual solvent in the meal,
particularly in comparison to traditional ddesolventizing equipment.
The DTDC vapor temperature can be automatically adjusted by adjusting the volume of direct steam.

Solvent Evaporator
The solvent evaporator removes solvent from the miscella after extraction has taken place.

KMEC's Solvent Evaporator

Solvent Evaporating Equipment

The tubes in the solvent evaporator are fabricated with stainless steel, allowing an ideal surface for heat-exchange. Durability is also improved. By using micro-vacuum
evaporation technology in the solvent evaporation system not only saves on the consumption of steam but also improves the color and quality of crude oil.

Solvent Evaporating System

Evaporation allows for the utilization of residual heat and secondary steam. Waste steam is recycled into the first stage evaporator, curtailing its consumption by 30
percent.
Miscella at the first stage solvent evaporator is heated by high temperature oil coming from the oil stripper, thereby significantly increasing the temperature of
miscella going to the second stage solvent evaporator for reduced energy consumption.
The miscella is evaporated at a low temperature. Residual solvent is reduced giving the crude oil a light color.

 Stainless Steel multi-tube condensers have allowed higher rates of solvent recovery and a reduced workspace, lowering production costs and the initial
investment.
The vapor contactor has reduced the load on the DT condenser and increased the temperature of the solvent.
The boiler tank minimizes the solvent residue in the waste water.

Oil Stripper

KMEC's new oil stripper combines the functions of the stripper and crude oil tank for the solvent extraction plant. The unique spherical baffle plate allows the oil to flow
uniformly. Steam is able to thoroughly penetrate the oil via direct contact. Vapor is applied consistently to avoid patches of residual solvent and volitility is reduced considerably.
The trays of the stripping tower are connected by flanges, thus both maintenance and cleaning are convenient. KMEC's design allows for convenient operation and reliability.

With over ten years' experience in supplying and exporting complete oil mill plants, solvent extraction plants and related equipment, KMEC is your source for solvent
extraction machinery such as oil strippers, desolventizer toasters and other extraction machinery.

Oil Stripper

Oil Tank
The oil tank is used for storage in the solvent extraction plant. There are two basic types of oil tanks: the crude tank and the product tank. The crude tank moves large
quantities of unrefined crude oil from its point of extraction to refineries. The product tank is generally much smaller and is designed to move edible oil from refineries to
points near markets.

Typically the type of oil tank is selected based upon capacity and the vapor pressure of the product being stored. The working pressure required depends upon the vapor
pressure, and the temperature variations of the liquid's surface.

Oil Tank in Solvent Extraction Plant

KMEC Solvent Extraction Plant

The solvent extraction plant is designed to extract oil directly from oilseeds containing less than 20 percent oil after flaking, such as soybeans. The process is also used
for prepressed or fully pressed cake derived from oilseeds containing more than 20 percent oil to include sunflower seeds, peanuts, cotton seeds, palm kernels, canola,
copra, castor and others. Extraction is conducted on prepared seeds or, in the case of high oil content seeds, the cakes obtained through pre-pressing.

Vegetable Oil Refinery

Oil Degumming
Oil degumming is the first step in an oil refinery plant and is key to the vegetable oil refining process. Oil degumming is performed in two ways: hydration oil degumming and
special oil degumming.

Hydration Oil Degumming

Hydration oil degumming involves the addition of hot water since impurities like phospholipids, gums and proteings are soluable in oil but insoluable in water. In this way, the
impurities can be separated. The separated gum (once dry) can be made into lecithin or added into cakes or meals. Hydration degumming improves the oil's edibility and
storage potential.

Vegetable oil refining process - oil degumming

Oil Neutralization
Oil neutralization is another step in the edible oil refining process. Oil neutralization is also known as deacidification. It neutralizes fatty free acids in the oil using caustic
soda, thereby converting the acids into soaps. These soaps are easily removed by decantation or by centrifugal force. Since there are many kinds of oilseeds with differing
qualities, KMEC's machinery is equipped with versatile technology for the oil neutralization process.

Features of Edible Oil Refining Process

Technology adaptable to the oil's quality and to processing requirements.
Oil loss is reduced to minimum through well-crafted centrifuges.

Oil Neutralization Flow Chart

Oil Bleaching
Oil bleaching is carried out before deodorization in an edible oil refinery. The process removes color, as well as residual phosphatides, metals and soaps. To do this, clay is
added to the oil then heated, upon which it absorbs pigmentation. Lastly, the oil-clay mixture is filtered and the spent cake is dried to remove the oil.

Oil Bleaching Technology in an Edible Oil Refinery Plant

Oil and clay is mixed in a vacuum to remove the affects of air and to consume less clay.

The clay's dosage is dispensed automatically according to the color requirement. A continuous process ensures the clay's even contact with the oil.
Bleached oil is flushed through closed stainless steel filtration discs for less residue in the meal.

The filter is controlled automatically to simplify operation and to ensure stable production.

Edible Oil Refinery, Workshop View

Oil Bleaching Flow Chart

Oil Dewaxing
Oil dewaxing, also called winterization, is typically used at corn and sunflower-processing vegetable oil refineries. It improves the oil's clarity and brightness by removing
solidssaturated glycerides or waxesthat are visible at ambient or low temperatures. KMEC's oil dewaxing machinery reduces the content of these solids to less than 10
parts per million, a level necessary for proper stability.

Vegetable Oil Refinery

All vegetable oil refineries operate on the same basic principles. The crude oil obtained either from an expeller or solvent extraction plant contains impurities which
must be removed for the oil to be edible, more palatable and stable for storage. The process of removing these impurities is called refining.
KMEC performs turnkey projects for vegetable oil refineries. Our technical knowledge and experience sets us apart from the competition. Many of our projects have
been undertaken overseas, granting us a large base of international clientele. Our clients' interests are at the top of our priority list.
Oil Dewaxing Flow Chart

Oil Deodorization

Oil deodorization is the final stage in an edible oil refinery. It creates a more bland oil by removing odiferous material and other minor undesired particles, in turn increasing its
shelf life. It is commonly used in the process of refining palm oil.

Detailed Oil Deodorization Process

In oil deodorization, the bleached oil is first deaerated then heated. It is then deodorized by using high pressure steam. KMEC's deodorizers employ a combined methodology.
The upper part is used to remove free fatty acids while the bottom part works for consistent quality. Oil from the deodorizer is cooled and stored after passing through the heat
exchanger. The free fatty acids are collected and stored as by-products.

Oil Deodorization Flow Chart

Palm Oil Refining Process

Palm oil is one of the most widely consumed edible oils in the world today. Palm oil is obtained from the flesh of the palm fruit. Each palm tree produces approximately one fruit
bunch, containing as many as 3000 fruitlets, per month. In addition, each palm tree continues producing fruit economically for up to 25 years. This ensures a constant stable
supply, as compared with other annual crops. Naturally, palm oil is characterized as stabilized oil due to its chemical composition.

Palm oils consist mainly of glycerides and, like other oils in their crude form, small and variable portions of non-glyceride components as well. In order to render the oils to an
edible form, some of these non-glycerides need to be either removed or reduced to acceptable levels. The aim of refining is therefore to convert the crude oil to quality edible oil
by removing objectionable impurities to the desired levels in the most efficient manner. This also means that, where possible, losses in the desirable component are kept
minimal.

The palm oil refining process is quite identical. There are two routes are taken to process crude oil into refined oil; which are chemical (basic) refining and physical refining. The
methods differ basically in the way the fatty acids are removed from the oil. Physical refining, which eliminates the need for an effluent plant for the soap stock, involves
subjecting the oil to steam distillation under higher temperature and vacuum for removal of the free fatty acids. The physical refining is used to remove the free fatty acids. The
refining of physical plant is practiced to subject the oil to steam distillation.
