soybean oil
The soybean oil production line is a complete production system that processes soybeans into standard-compliant soybean oil products through the following steps: first, pre-treatment processes such as cleaning, crushing, softening and flaking; then, oil production via pressing or solvent extraction; finally, refining processes of the crude oil including degumming, deacidification, water washing, drying, bleaching and...

Soybean cleaning

Soybean raw materials are often mixed with impurities such as soil, gravel and straw. The vibrating screen uses sieves with different mesh sizes to remove large-grained impurities based on the differences in particle size. This step ensures the normal operation of subsequent equipment and improves the quality of the final oil.

Soybean crushing

The cleaned soybeans are properly crushed by a crusher, generally broken into 4–6 pieces. Crushing increases the surface area of soybeans, facilitates subsequent processes such as softening and flaking, and lays the foundation for oil extraction.

Soybean softening

Adjusting the moisture and temperature of soybeans is the key to the softening process. In the softening cooker, soybeans are heated to a temperature of 60–70℃ while their moisture content is controlled within the range of 15%–17%. Optimal temperature and moisture levels soften the texture of soybeans, enabling them to form thin flakes without breaking easily during the flaking process.

Soybean flaking

The softened soybeans are fed into a flaking mill and rolled into thin flakes with a thickness of approximately 0.3–0.5 mm. Flaking disrupts the cellular structure of soybeans, increases the contact area between oil and the external environment, and improves the oil yield efficiency in subsequent processes.

Oil extraction by pressing method

 

The flaked soybeans after rolling are fed into a screw press. As the screw shaft rotates inside the press chamber, it pushes the flaked soybeans forward. The space in the press chamber gradually narrows, and the pressure continuously increases, reaching up to 10–20 MPa. Under high pressure, oil is squeezed out of the flaked soybeans and flows out through the oil outlet, with soybean cakes obtained simultaneously. The crude oil produced by pressing contains a large amount of impurities and requires further processing.

Benefits of Soybean Oil Leaching
 
  1. High oil yield : It can fully dissolve soybean oil. Compared with the pressing method, the oil yield can be increased by 3%–5%, which greatly improves the raw material utilization rate.
  2. Low cost : The high oil yield reduces raw material consumption; mechanized production lowers labor costs; and solvent recovery and recycling also saves costs, which enhances the price competitiveness of products.
  3. Stable quality : Process conditions are easy to control precisely. The products show small differences in indicators such as color, odor and acid value, featuring reliable quality and suitability for large-scale production.
  4. High production efficiency : Continuous and automated production enables rapid and efficient output of crude oil from soybeans, which can meet the huge market demand.
