Components of a Mini Soybean Oil Mill Plant:1. Cleaning Machine: Removes impurities like stones, sand, and other debris from the soybeans.
2. Crushing Machine: Breaks the soybeans into smaller pieces for easier oil extraction.
3. Cooking Machine: Heats the soybean pieces to make oil extraction more efficient.
4. Oil Pressing Machine: The core equipment, it extracts the oil from the heated soybeans using mechanical pressure.
5. Oil Filtration Machine: Filters the crude oil to remove impurities, resulting in cleaner oil.
6. Oil Refining Unit (Optional): Refines crude oil to improve its quality, including removing free fatty acids, phospholipids, and other impurities.
Process of Soybean Oil Extraction:1. Cleaning: Soybeans are cleaned to remove impurities.
2. Crushing: Cleaned soybeans are crushed to break them into smaller particles.
3. Conditioning/Cooking: The crushed soybeans are cooked to soften them and enhance oil extraction.
4. Pressing: The cooked soybeans are pressed in an oil press machine to extract the oil. The leftover material (soybean meal) is also valuable and can be used as animal feed.
5. Filtration: The extracted oil is filtered to remove solid particles and other impurities.
