200 TPD Turnkey Soybean Oil Processing Plant
The soybean, also called soyabean, widely cultivated commercial field crops grown in USA, Brazil, Argentina, China, India, Uruguay, Ukraine, Bolivia, Nigeria, South Africa. Soybean oil consumption is growing faster than that of palm oil because of its abundant fatty acid composition. Automatic soybean oil processing plant is necessary because of the low efficiency of the oil extracted by hand operated machines.

Soybean Oil Production Process
The production of soy bean oil is complicated. Below are the basic steps of the soybean oil production plant.
Step 1 – Seed Cleaning Section of Soybean Oil Production Plant
First, soybean should be cleaned and sorted manually/mechanically to separate the foreign matter, dust, dirt and stone particles, admixture of other seeds, husks, immature, split, shriveled, damaged and diseased grains. The seed cleaner machine are used to clean the soybeans. To remove the iron from the seeds, the magnet is used.
Step 2: Oil Extraction Section of Soybean Oil Production Plant
Two common soybean oil production processes are solvent extraction(chemical) and mechanical extraction using a screw press.
The most conventional method is to extract oil by mechanical oil processing machines. The oil obtained from screw press, known as crude oil, usually undergoes a filtration process before being consumed as food.
Solvent Extraction (Chemical) – Solvent extraction is the process of removing a solute component from a solid using a liquid solvent; This is called leaching or solid-liquid extraction. According to this method, n-hexane produces a higher amount of oil than other solvents. (Read more about soybean solvent extraction plant).

Step 3: Oil Filtration Section of Soybean Oil Production Plant
The soybean oil extracted in the above step is still contains many oil-insoluble and oil-soluble impurities in crude soybean oil that needs to be removed, the oil-insoluble impurities are removed with filtration and the oil-soluble are removed in the edible oil refinery plant.
Step 4: Oil Refinery Section of Soybean Oil Production Plant
Oil Refinery is a very important part of the processing process because the oil contains impurities like phospholipids, pigment, and off-flavor which need to be removed to make the oil edible. The oil insoluble impurities are removed through filtration process while the soluble materials are removed by different processes. (Read more about Soybean Oil Refinery Plant Process)
