How to set up a mustard seed oil production line?

As a manufacturer of edible oil processing equipment, we understand the many factors involved in establishing an efficient mustard oil production line. Below, we'll detail the key steps involved in setting up a mustard oil production line.

Preliminary planning and preparation

Market Research

Before establishing a mustard oil production line, thorough market research is essential. Understand consumer demand for mustard oil, market price trends, and the competitive landscape. Analyze the market potential in different regions and identify target customer groups to inform the production line size and product positioning.

Site selection

Selecting a suitable site is fundamental to production line construction. The site should be large enough to accommodate mustard seed storage, processing equipment, and the storage and packaging of mustard oil. Transportation accessibility is also important to facilitate the transportation of raw materials and the distribution of finished products. Furthermore, the site's infrastructure, including water, electricity, and drainage systems, must also meet the production line's operational requirements.

Key equipment for mustard seed oil production line

A complete mustard seed oil production line consists of four main stages: pretreatment, pressing/solvent extraction, refining, and packaging. Depending on your production capacity requirements, you can choose from small, medium, or large mustard seed oil presses and associated equipment.

1. Pretreatment equipment

Cleaning equipment : including vibrating cleaning screen, stone remover, magnetic separator, etc., to remove impurities such as stones, iron filings, straw, etc. in mustard seeds

Crusher : Crushes whole mustard seeds into suitable particle size to increase oil yield

Flaking machine : The mustard seeds are rolled into thin flakes (seed flakes), effectively disrupting the cellular structure of the seeds and increasing surface area, thereby improving oil extraction yield

Steam cooker : Performs steaming and roasting of crushed seeds to remove moisture and facilitate the release of internal oil for easier separation.

2. Oil extraction

Oil extraction: A mustard seed press is used for physical pressing, extracting crude oil through screw extrusion or hydraulic technology. This method is suitable for small and medium-sized production lines, offering ease of operation and preserving the natural nutritional properties of mustard seed oil. Large-scale mustard seed oil processing plants can consider a combined process of "pretreatment + pre-pressing + extraction," extracting the oil from the seeds using organic solvents such as n-hexane. This method offers a high oil yield and is suitable for industrial-scale production.

3. Crude oil refining

Degumming, deacidification, decolorization and deodorization: The mustard oil refining equipment removes phospholipids, free fatty acids, pigments and odor substances from the crude oil, improving the transparency and stability of the oil and meeting national standards.

Key points of production line planning

Capacity matching : Determine the equipment scale based on raw material supply and financial strength to ensure efficient operation of the production line.

Process selection : Consider product positioning (primary oil, secondary oil or specialty oil) and select the corresponding refining depth

Factory requirements : Reserve sufficient equipment spacing and pay attention to ventilation, drainage and power configuration

Environmental protection facilities : planning of waste gas treatment, wastewater treatment and other environmental protection facilities
