edible oil production line

Edible oil production line including a series oil processing process and at the same time requires quite a lot of edible oil production equipment.

Oils are sometimes blended before further processing. Blending may be done in small tanks with portable mixers at 0.3 - 0.4 HP/1000 gallons for 20 - 30 minute blend times. Larger tanks will use side entry mixers at 0.2 - 0.3 HP/1000 gallons. Bleachingt of the refined oil is accomplished by intensive mixing with 0.5 -2.0% bleaching clay. Use 4 HP/1000 gallons with side entry mixers or 2 - 3 HP/1000 gallons with top entry mixers using radial turbines.

Oils are modified by hydrogenation to reduce the degree of un-saturation, raise the melting range, improve color and flavor and enhance the resistance to oxidation.

Edible Oil Production Process

Edible oils are recovered by grinding, cooking, expelling and pressing, or by solvent extraction of the raw materials.

Oil tanks will be equipped with side entry mixers to keep the foots in suspension and ensure a uniform feed to down-stream equipment. These tanks are often built with heating pipes. Agitation below these pipes will be reduced, resulting in solids settling and the need for periodic cleaning.

The next process step in edible oil production line is called refining. We usually batch refining technique, the oil is treated with a 20% caustic solution to react the fatty acids. This results in the formation of soft soaps which are decanted off. Too much agitation will emulsify the mix resulting in long separation times. However in process of edible oil production line, some refining is done in continuous "packaged" systems built by suppliers of continuous separations equipment.
