What is the Cottonseed Oil Manufacturing Process by Mechanical Pressing?

HOME > Services > FAQs

We have oil plants that come with seeds and they include soybeans, rapeseed, mustard, sunflower, peanut, palm oil, and cotton amongst others. All these products are important for commercial purposes and for domestic use, can be used for cooking oil, salads, and margarine. Their by-products can also be useful, such as the cottonseed, its by product linter can be used for making string, balls paper, and cellulose products among other. Certainly, the one of the most important purposes of cottonseed plantation is to produce cottonseed oil. So, how the cottonseed is made? what kind of machinery the cottonseed oil manufacturing is needed?

What is the Mechanical Cottonseed Oil Manufacturing Process?

cottonseed oil manufacturing process flowchartCleaning & Husking: The cottonseeds are winded and magnetized to remove impurities and then fed uniformly into the sheller by a constant feeding device. In the process of husking, special attention should be paid to the size of cottonseed after husking in order to reduce the powder degree of husking. Kernels should contain no more than 10% shell after separation.

Softening: The softening effect will directly affect the working state of the cottonseed oil extraction process and the quality of the final product. Its softening temperature, time and moisture are very important. The softening of cottonseed is usually done in a three - or four-layer vertical steam wok.

Flaking: In the flaking process, it is required that the thickness of the blank after the flaking shall not exceed 0.5mm. The flaking is firm and the powder is small. The flaking must be dried and then cold-pressed by the press to be formed.

Oil Extraction: After pretreatment, the material is transported to the oil pressing workshop, where the pretreated materials are transported to the cottonseed oil expeller to squeeze the oil out. The whole cottonseed oil extraction process may need several times to ensure the high oil output. Then, the crude cottonseed oil is made and the cottonseed oil cake is discharged for next processing for feed or other usages.

Oil Refining: Since the crude cottonseed oil contains high content of gossypol, it needed to be refined to improve the quality and ensure the final refined cottonseed oil is completely safe for eating. The general refining process in cottonseed oil mills is degumming, deacification, decolorizing, deordorizing, and fractionation.
 

What Equipment Needed for Cottonseed Oil Manufacturing?

One of the widely used machine used in cottonseed oil manufacturing plant is screw cottonseed oil machine, a type of cottonseed oil machinery. It’s very simple in nature and can be used to extract oil from various seed plants. The screw cottonseed oil press is a mini cottonseed oil machine that can be used for small-scale extraction oil plants. Some of the seed plants that be extracted by it are soybeans, peanut, sunflower, copra, rapeseed, palm kernel, mustard seed, and more.
