Sunflower Seed Processing Line: Efficient Solutions by Xinlu

Sunflower seeds are a nutritious and versatile crop used for oil production, snacks, and animal feed. A well-designed sunflower seed processing line ensures high efficiency, product quality, and food safety. Xinlu specializes in manufacturing reliable processing equipment tailored to industry needs.

Key Components of a Sunflower Seed Processing Line

1. Cleaning and Sorting

  • Pre-cleaning: Removes impurities like dust, stems, and stones.

  • Grading: Separates seeds by size for uniform processing.

  • Optical Sorting: Eliminates defective seeds using advanced sensors.

2. Dehulling (Optional)

  • Mechanical or air-pressure systems remove hulls for oil extraction or snack production.

3. Roasting (For Edible Seeds)

  • Adjustable temperature and time ensure consistent flavor and texture.

4. Pressing (For Oil Extraction)

  • Cold pressing retains nutrients, while expeller pressing maximizes yield.

5. Refining (For Edible Oil)

  • Filtration, degumming, neutralization, and deodorization produce high-quality oil.

6. Packaging

  • Automated weighing and sealing maintain freshness for retail or bulk distribution.
