In today's dynamic global market, the demand for high-quality soybean oil is on the rise. Our company is proud to present this in - depth special report on the production process of soybean oil, aiming to provide global buyers with a comprehensive understanding of our professional and rigorous approach.
As the global population grows and dietary preferences evolve, the importance of soybean oil as a staple cooking oil cannot be overstated. This report is designed to unveil the intricate journey of soybean oil from raw materials to finished products, highlighting our company's commitment to quality, efficiency, and sustainability.
When the soybeans arrive at our facility, they are like little travelers starting their adventure. The first step is to clean them thoroughly. We use advanced cleaning equipment to remove impurities such as stones, dust, and broken beans. This ensures that only the purest soybeans enter the next stage of production. In fact, we can achieve a cleaning efficiency of up to 99%, ensuring high - quality raw materials for the subsequent processes.
Next, the soybeans undergo a "transformation" through crushing and shelling. Specialized crushers break the soybeans into smaller pieces, and then the shells are removed. This step not only facilitates subsequent processing but also improves the oil extraction rate. On average, this process can increase the oil extraction efficiency by about 10%.
The crushed soybeans are then conditioned to adjust their moisture and temperature, making them more suitable for oil extraction. After that, they are flaked into thin sheets. This increases the surface area of the soybeans, allowing for more efficient oil extraction. Our state - of - the - art conditioning and flaking equipment can handle up to 500 tons of soybeans per day.
In the extraction process, solvents are used to separate the oil from the soybean flakes. Our extraction technology is highly efficient, with an oil extraction rate of over 95%. This means that we can extract as much oil as possible from the soybeans, minimizing waste.
After extraction, the oil still contains some solvents. The desolventizing process removes these solvents, ensuring the safety and quality of the oil. Our desolventizing equipment can reduce the solvent content in the oil to less than 0.1%, meeting strict international standards.
Degumming is used to remove phosphatides and other impurities from the crude oil. This step improves the clarity and stability of the oil. Our degumming process can reduce the phosphatide content to less than 10 ppm, ensuring high - quality refined oil.
Neutralization is used to remove free fatty acids from the oil. By carefully controlling the reaction conditions, we can reduce the acid value of the oil to an extremely low level, ensuring the taste and quality of the oil.
The bleaching process removes pigments and other impurities from the oil, making it clearer and more appealing. Our bleaching technology can effectively reduce the color value of the oil, ensuring a consistent and high - quality product.
Deodorization is the final purification step, removing unpleasant odors from the oil. Our deodorization equipment can produce odorless and high - quality soybean oil, meeting the diverse needs of customers around the world.
Winterization is an optional step that helps to remove waxes from the oil, preventing it from clouding at low temperatures. This ensures that the oil remains clear and market - ready in various climates.
Finally, the refined soybean oil is carefully packaged into various containers, ready for distribution. Our packaging process is designed to ensure the safety and freshness of the oil during transportation and storage.
During the soybean oil production process, we also generate some by - products, such as soybean meal. Instead of wasting these by - products, we use them in the animal feed industry, fully demonstrating our commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development.
In conclusion, our company's soybean oil production process is a testament to our professionalism, rigor, and commitment to quality. We adhere to strict standards at every step, from raw material selection to final packaging. Our advanced technology and equipment ensure high - efficiency production and superior product quality.
