The global demand for sunflower oil has been on the rise in recent years, with a growth rate of about 3% annually according to market research. Among them, the demand for high - quality small - scale sunflower oil production equipment in the export market is also increasing. Small - scale equipment is very popular among family and micro - workshops in many countries, especially in regions where there is a strong tradition of home - made food. For example, in some European countries, the number of small - scale sunflower oil workshops has increased by 15% in the past five years. This trend provides a huge export opportunity for manufacturers of small - scale sunflower oil equipment.
Mechanical pressing technology, especially used in the SUNFLOWER Mechanical Pressing Sunflower Oil Extractor of Qie Group, has significant advantages. First of all, compared with chemical extraction methods, mechanical pressing is a more natural and environmentally friendly process. It does not use chemical solvents, which not only reduces the environmental impact but also ensures the purity of the oil. According to relevant tests, the oil extracted by mechanical pressing has a higher nutrient retention rate, and the content of beneficial substances such as vitamin E is about 10% higher than that of chemically extracted oil. In addition, mechanical pressing equipment has a long service life, reducing the replacement cost.
Raw material quality is the key to balancing production and quality. High - quality sunflower seeds ensure higher oil yield and better flavor. It is recommended to choose sunflowers with an oil content of more than 40%. Effective batch management is also crucial. By analyzing the quality data of different batches of raw materials, such as moisture content and oil content, the processing parameters can be adjusted in time. For example, when the moisture content of sunflower seeds is high, pre - drying treatment can be carried out to improve the pressing effect.
The choice between cold pressing and hot pressing largely depends on the market demand and product positioning. Cold - pressed oil usually has a lighter color, a more natural flavor and higher nutritional value, which is very popular in the high - end market. However, its yield is relatively low, about 10 - 15% lower than that of hot - pressed oil. Hot - pressed oil has a deeper color and a stronger flavor, and is more suitable for markets with a preference for intense flavors. The pressing cycle also needs to be optimized according to different processes. Generally speaking, the cold - pressing cycle is longer, usually 2 - 3 hours, while the hot - pressing cycle is about 1.5 - 2 hours.
A standardized operation process is the key to ensuring product quality and production efficiency. Here is a standard process chart [insert chart], which details the steps from raw material preparation to finished oil packaging. In the process, loss control is also very important. Through accurate control of pressing pressure, temperature and time, the oil loss can be reduced to less than 5%. For example, by adjusting the pressing pressure, the oil yield can be increased by 3 - 5% while reducing the residual oil in the cake.
Flavor preservation is a major concern for sunflower oil production. The use of mechanical pressing technology helps to preserve the natural flavor of sunflower oil. In addition, strict process control is required to ensure product consistency. Every batch of products should be evaluated for flavor, color and other indicators to ensure that they meet the established standards. Through long - term practice, our equipment can ensure that the flavor consistency of products reaches more than 95%.
Let's look at a real - world example. A small - scale workshop in Africa used our equipment and, through strict implementation of the standard operating process, increased production by 20% within a year and improved product quality. Their product reputation has gradually increased in the local market, and they have begun to explore the export business.
