Tutorial Guide
According to the latest report from the International Union of Fats and Oils Technology (IUFoST), the global corn germ oil market is expected to expand at an annual rate of 9.2% through 2028. Our new generation corn oil equipment increases oil extraction efficiency by 18% and reduces energy consumption by 22%. Purchase our equipment to help you seize this growth opportunity!

Have you encountered the three core challenges of corn germ oil production?

· Low oil yield : The residual oil rate of traditional equipment is >20%, which wastes raw materials.

· Unstable refined oil quality : acid value/color does not meet standards

Upgrade requirements

· Efficient leaching : solvent extraction technology with residual oil rate ≤ 1%

· Energy-saving refining : integrated equipment for degumming, deacidification, decolorization, deodorization and dewaxing

Analysis of the entire process of equipment selection

1. Pretreatment and pressing section

equipment

Function Description

Cleaning sieve

Remove impurities in corn germ, such as dust, sand, pebbles, straw, etc., to protect subsequent equipment and ensure the purity of oil products.

Softening pot

By heating and humidifying, the germ tissue is softened and its plasticity is improved, which is beneficial for subsequent flaking or pressing, while reducing powder flying.

Flaking machine

The softened corn germ is pressed into flakes to further destroy the cell tissue, improve oil extractability and reduce residual oil content.

Steam cooker

The material after flaking is steam heated and fried to adjust the moisture and temperature, making it easier for oil to precipitate, while improving the pressing effect and oil quality.

screw oil press machine

Oil is squeezed out of the oilseed by mechanical pressure to obtain crude oil and oil cake

✅Selection suggestion : High oil content germ (30-40%) requires secondary pressing

2. Solvent extraction and refining process

 Solvent extraction equipment :

· Extractor: Use organic solvents (such as n-hexane) to extract oil from oilseeds, greatly increasing the oil yield

· Desolventizer Toaster Dryer Cooler (DTDC): Separates solvent and meal from wet meal

· Evaporator: Evaporate the oil and fat in the recovered solvent to obtain mixed oil

· Stripping tower: Use steam stripping to remove the solvent from the mixed oil to obtain the extracted crude oil

Refining equipment :

· Degumming and deacidification : centrifuge + alkali refining tank

· Decolorization and deodorization : decolorization tower + deodorization tower

· The key to dewaxing : low temperature crystallization and filtration (to prevent grease turbidity)

⚠️Tips for avoiding pitfalls : Undewaxed corn oil is prone to crystallization and precipitation, affecting its appearance
