What issues should be paid attention to during sunflower oil refining?

Sunflower oil refining requires careful attention to several issues to ensure a high-quality, safe product. These include controlling the quality of crude sunflower oil, choosing the right sunflower oil refining process and equipment, proper control of refining processes, standardizing workers' operations and establishing a sunflower oil quality control system. The following are key issues that should be paid attention to during sunflower oil refining:

1. Controlling the Quality of Crude Sunflower Oil

Crude Oil Quality:

Sunflower oil refining is an important process to convert crude oil into high-quality edible oil. The quality and treatment of crude sunflower oil directly affect the refining effect and the quality of the final product. First of all, the crude sunflower oil quality indicators should be controlled, such as acid value (AV) monitoring, peroxide value (POV) and moisture and volatile content.

Sunflower Seed Quality:

If refining from sunflower seeds, the quality of the seeds is paramount. This includes ensuring they are mold-free, odor-free, and within the desired color and size specifications. The quality of raw materials of sunflower seeds directly affects the yield of sunflower oil. Try to choose high-quality varieties of sunflower seeds with full seeds and high oil content.

2. Choosing the Right Sunflower Oil Refining Process and Equipment

First, pay attention to production capacity during sunflower oil refining. Sunflower oil refining equipment can be divided into 3 types according to different production capacities, batch type refining machine, semi-continuous refining machine and full continuous type refining machine.The processing capabilities of these three devices are respectively 1-20tpd, 20-50tpd, above 30tpd. Customers can select it according to their own sunflower oil refining requirements and investments.

Second, pay attention to sunflower oil processing technology. There are mainly two kinds of processing technologies for refining, one is physical refining and chemical refining. In the refining process, the choice of processing technology still needs to be considered according to crude oil type, refined oil quality requirements, operation cost, environmental protection cost and other factors.

3. Standardize Workers' Operations of Sunflower Oil Refining

During long-term use, sunflower oil refining equipment will be affected by various factors, such as material wear, chemical corrosion, high temperature and high pressure, which will lead to equipment performance degradation or damage. At the same time, irregular operation will also affect the service life of the refining equipment. Therefore, understanding the operating issues of sunflower oil refining equipment and performing regular maintenance and care on sunflower oil refining equipment are important measures to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment and production quality. Through standardized operations, strict monitoring and regular training, we can ensure that the quality of sunflower oil meets the standards while ensuring production safety.

4. Establish A Sunflower Oil Quality Control System

Establish a quality control system to monitor raw material quality, sunflower oil refining processes, and finished product quality. This includes checking parameters like free fatty acid levels, moisture content, color, and flavor. As well as final product testing to ensure your sunflower oil meets regulatory and consumer standards.

By strictly controlling the above issues that should be paid attention to during sunflower oil refining, the sunflower oil refining process can be ensured to be efficient and safe, and ultimately a high-quality edible oil product with clear color, pure flavor and good nutritional retention can be obtained. We have been focusing on cooking oil production equipment for more than ten years, and our products are exported to all over the world, especially Asia and Africa. Our sunflower oil refining equipment can not only produce high-quality sunflower oil, but also be efficient, energy-saving and highly automated. Please feel free to contact us if necessary.
