What are the components of a soybean oil refinery plant?

Generally, the crude soybean oil is from soybean oil pressing plant or solvent extraction plant, and there will be impurities in it. If you want to get refined soybean oil from crude soybean oil, you need four steps: degumming, deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization. After the four steps of refinery processes, you will get refined soybean oil that is qualified with the national standard, and can be sold in the market. As the professional soybean oil refinery plant manufacturer, Henan Glory Company can design different kinds of soybean oil refinery equipment for you. Next, I will introduce the soybean oil refinery equipment for you in details, in order that you can choose suitable equipment for your soybean oil refinery plant.

1.Degumming equipment

Degumming equipment is the first tool used in the process of making refined soybean oil. Pumping crude soybean oil into oil refinery tank, stirring quickly, and simultaneously heating by steam or heat-transfer oil(in coiled heater). Then add some hot water to remove phospholipid in crude soybean oil. But during soybean oil degumming process, you should control the water amount, temperature and water adding speed. If phospholipid lasts long suspended in oil, which is hard to gather to make flocculent precipitate. We can rise up the speed of adding water, conversely slow down. Then we can remove the gums in the crude soybean oil by precipitation.

For the batch type and semi-continuous type soybean oil refinery equipment, Henan Glory adopts precipitation separation method, as for continuous soybean oil refinery equipment, we adopts centrifuge separation method. If this is your first time entering this industry, it is recommended that you choose batch type soybean oil refinery with low investment, small footprint, easy to operate. The cost of batch type soybean oil refinery equipment depends on the heating method of the equipment and the processing tonnage.

2.Deacidifying equipment

Deacidifying is usually the tool used in the process of making refined soybean oil, which is aimed to remove free fatty acids from crude soybean oil. We usually add the food grade alkaline to the degummed oil for acid-base neutralization reaction to remove the free fatty acids, and then remove the soapstock by heating and natural sedimentation.

3.Decolorizing equipment

Decolorizing is usually used in the process of making refined soybean oil to remove impurities such as pigments, metals, and residual soap from the soybean oil. Inhale definite amount of decoloring agent (white clay) into the refined soybean oil, continuously stirring and heating for a period of time. After that, pump the mixture of oil and white clay into filter to separate oil and waste white clay.

4.Deodorizing equipment

Deodorizing process can remove odors and flavors from the soybean oil. It refers to pump decolorized soybean oil into deodorizing equipment, when oil temperature reaches above 100℃, injecting the direct steam to take the odors away. Our company's refinery equipment adopts 304 stainless steel in the deodorizing section to meet the production needs and ensure the refinery quality.
