The high - efficiency soybean oil processing plant of QIE Group, designed for a daily processing capacity of 100 tons of soybeans, integrates advanced technologies and optimized process flows. This section will delve into the entire process from raw material cleaning to final product refining.
The first step in soybean oil processing is raw material cleaning. Impurities such as stones, dust, and broken beans in soybeans need to be removed. QIE Group's equipment uses a multi - stage cleaning system, which can reduce the impurity content in soybeans to less than 0.1%. After cleaning, the soybeans enter the de - hulling process. De - hulling can improve the quality of soybean oil and increase the oil yield by about 1 - 2%.
Cooking is a crucial step in soybean oil processing. Through proper cooking, the structure of soybean cells is destroyed, which is conducive to subsequent oil extraction. QIE Group's cooking equipment can accurately control the temperature and time of cooking. Usually, the cooking temperature is controlled at 100 - 110°C for about 30 - 40 minutes. After cooking, the soybeans enter the pressing process. The pressing process can extract most of the oil from soybeans. The traditional pressing method has an oil yield of about 15 - 17%, while QIE Group's advanced pressing equipment can increase the oil yield to 18 - 20%.
The crude oil obtained from pressing contains a lot of impurities, such as protein, phospholipids, and pigments. Filtration and refining are necessary to remove these impurities and improve the quality of soybean oil. QIE Group's filtration equipment can quickly and effectively remove large - particle impurities, and the subsequent refining process uses physical and chemical methods to remove phospholipids, free fatty acids, and pigments. After refining, the acid value of soybean oil can be reduced to less than 0.1mgKOH/g, and the peroxide value can be reduced to less than 0.25g/100g.
QIE Group's high - efficiency soybean oil processing plant is equipped with an advanced automated control system. This system can monitor and adjust various parameters in the production process in real - time, such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate.
| Parameter | Traditional Equipment | QIE Group's Equipment with Automated Control |
|---|---|---|
| Oil Yield | 15 - 17% | 18 - 20% |
| Product Quality Stability | Low | High |
For example, in the cooking process, the automated control system can adjust the steam input according to the moisture content and quantity of soybeans, ensuring that the cooking temperature and time are always in the best state. In the pressing process, the system can adjust the pressing pressure in real - time according to the oil content of soybeans, thereby improving the oil yield.
Energy - saving design is one of the core advantages of QIE Group's soybean oil processing equipment. The equipment uses advanced heat - recovery technology, which can recover and reuse the heat generated in the production process. For example, the heat generated during cooking and pressing can be used for pre - heating raw materials or other processes.
Compared with traditional equipment, QIE Group's equipment can reduce energy consumption by about 20 - 30%. This not only reduces production costs but also meets the requirements of environmental protection. For a soybean oil processing plant with a daily processing capacity of 100 tons, the annual energy cost savings can reach tens of thousands of dollars.
