The extraction process of flaxseed oil mainly includes the following steps:
1. Raw material cleaning: First, clean the flaxseeds to remove impurities such as stones, soil, plant stems and leaves to ensure the purity of the raw materials. This step is usually completed using a vibrating cleaning screen and a stone remover.
2. Crushing: The cleaned flaxseeds are crushed by a crusher and processed into small particles for subsequent steaming and pressing. The crushed flaxseed powder is transported to the next process by a bucket elevator.
3. Steaming and frying: Add the crushed flax seed powder to the steaming and frying pan for steaming and frying. The purpose of steaming and frying is to adjust the moisture and temperature, destroy the cell wall, fully denature and coagulate the protein, and reduce the viscosity of the oil, making it easier to flow out of the cell.
4. Pressing: The steamed flax seeds enter the press for pressing. The press separates the oil from the flax seeds by physical extrusion to obtain flax seed crude oil.
5. Refining: The crude flaxseed oil obtained by pressing needs to be further refined to remove impurities, odors and undesirable components. The refining process includes steps such as degumming, deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization, and finally obtains high-quality flaxseed oil.
6. Dewaxing: For some high-quality flaxseed oils, dewaxing is also required. Dewaxing can further remove solid fats and wax crystals in the oil, and improve the transparency and stability of the oil.
7. Storage: The refined and dewaxed flaxseed oil is stored in oil storage tanks, waiting for further processing or sale.
Flaxseed oil, also known as linseed oil, is an edible oil extracted from flaxseed by a specific process. Flaxseed is rich in α-linolenic acid, an Omega-3 fatty acid that is extremely beneficial to the human body. It has many health benefits such as lowering cholesterol, preventing cardiovascular diseases, and promoting brain development. Therefore, flaxseed oil has a wide range of applications in food, health products and medicine.
1. High oil yield: Modern linseed oil extraction machinery adopts advanced pressing and refining technology, which can significantly increase the oil yield and reduce raw material waste.
2. High-quality oil: Through a fine refining process, machinery can remove impurities, odors and bad components in oil to ensure the purity and quality of the oil.
3. High degree of automation: Flaxseed oil extraction machinery usually has a high degree of automation, which can realize continuous operations from raw material processing to finished product production, reducing labor costs and labor intensity.
4. Energy conservation and environmental protection: Modern machinery pays attention to energy conservation and environmental protection when designing, using low energy consumption and low emission technologies and materials to reduce the impact on the environment.
5. Easy to operate: The machinery adopts advanced control system and human-machine interface design, allowing operators to easily grasp the operating status and operating methods of the equipment, improving production efficiency and safety.
6. Strong durability: High-quality flaxseed oil extraction machinery usually uses high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes, has high durability and stability, and can operate stably for a long time and reduce maintenance costs.
Flaxseed oil extraction machinery is suitable for flaxseed oil production enterprises of all sizes, including small workshops, medium-sized factories and large production lines. Whether it is used for home production or commercial production and sales, flaxseed oil extraction machinery can provide efficient, stable and reliable solutions. In addition, with the increasing demand for healthy food, the flaxseed oil market is also showing a rapid growth trend, providing a broad market prospect for the application of flaxseed oil extraction machinery.
