Highly experienced oil mill operator can extract oil without
cooking from some oilseeds such as rape seeds, cottonseed, sesame, sunflower,
copra etc. For Groundnut, Palm kernel, Castor seed, cooking is essential.
Refining of oil
is not required. Filtered oil is best for health. Filter oil has minimum 18
months shelf life. However, cottonseed oil requires refining or at least
neutralizing.
Castor seed oil
requires steam heating in a neutralizer vessel before filtration.
For palm fruits, our conventional expeller will not be useful.
Special kind of oil expeller with different design is provided for palm fruits
and such expeller specially for palm fruits is not useful for any other
oilseeds.
Function of Oil Mill Machinery :
Groundnut 'Decorticator' shells the groundnut into husks and
kernels. Husks are thrown away by built in air blower and kernels are screened
to separate split kernels from whole kernels. Runs on 2 H.P. Motor. 100 kg.
groundnut gives about 73 kg kernels & 27 kg husks.
Sunflower
cracker breaks the sunflower seeds and gives the mixture of kernels & husks
for crushing. Runs on 2 H.P. Motor.
Palm nut
cracker breaks the palm nuts & gives the palm kernels & husks. Runs on
2 H.P. Motor.
Copra cutter
breaks the copra cups into small pieces suitable for crushing into expeller.
Runs on 5 H.P. Motor.
Cooking kettle
heats and cooks the kernels or oilseeds by outer steam or by electricity. A
little steam / water is also added to the oilseeds to increase moisture content
to optimum level. Kettle is mounted on the oil expeller and is driven from oil
expeller.
Oil expeller
crushes oilseeds producing oil and oil cake.
Filter press
filters the oil. Filtered oil is completely pure and fresh natural edible oil.
Boiler provides
process steam to the cooking kettle. Husks are used as fuel in the boiler. Any
agricultural waste or wood can be used. Water feed pump is mounted on the
boiler itself. Boiler is not required if electrical kettle is used.
Neutralizer
removes free fatty acids from cottonseed oil by adding caustic soda. It is
driven by 1 H.P. Motor. Castor oil also can be heated into neutralizer by steam
coils inside the neutralizer. If you are looking to buy Oil mills and Oil
