Technological line for the production of safflower oil in a mini-production

Abstract

This article is devoted to the development of a small-sized technological line for the production of safflower oil in small enterprises of the grain processing industry. The relevance of the oil and fat industry is outlined, including signs of the increased popularity of safflower oil in Kazakhstan and in the world. Achieving a high quality of the final product directly contributes to the purification of safflower from impurities and husks. The main disadvantages of the known lines are the bulky design, significant material costs and energy costs which make it impossible to use the equipment in a mini-oil production; difficulty in operation.
To solve this problem, a technological line was proposed as part of a peeler-press of an original design for separating the husk from the kernel and pressing oilseed raw materials, which ensures the production of a high-quality and biologically valuable product. The proposed technological line for the production of safflower oil is to reduce material and energy costs in the conditions of mini-production of obtaining oil by pressing, increasing ease of operation without reducing the quality of the resulting oil. In addition, the technological and schematic diagrams are given, the characteristics of the main components of the equipment and the principle of its operation are presented.
