Soybean Meal (Cake) and Crude Soybean Oil Plant

Introduction

The Soybean Meal (Cake) and Crude Soybean Oil Plant is a vital industrial facility that plays a crucial role in the production of soybean products. The plant is designed to extract crude soybean oil from soybeans and produce soybean meal (cake) as a by-product. This article will provide an overview of the production method, business sectors, production flowchart, list of main equipment, feasibility study, and the importance of hiring our company for such projects.

Production Method

The production method of the Soybean Meal (Cake) and Crude Soybean Oil Plant involves the following steps:

1. Cleaning and drying of soybeans

2. Crushing of soybeans to extract oil

3. Extraction of crude soybean oil using a solvent

4. Desolventizing and drying of the soybean meal

5. Crude soybean oil refining and bleaching

Business Sectors

The Soybean Meal (Cake) and Crude Soybean Oil Plant serves the following business sectors:

Cleaning and Drying

The cleaning and drying process involves removing impurities and moisture from the soybeans. This is done using air classifiers and vibrating screens.

Crushing

The crushing process involves breaking down the soybeans into smaller pieces to release the oil. This is done using hammer mills and roller mills.

Extraction

The extraction process involves using a solvent to extract the crude soybean oil from the soybeans. This is done using solvent extractors and distillation columns.

Desolventizing

The desolventizing process involves removing the solvent from the soybean meal. This is done using rotary dryers and desolventizer-toasters.

Drying

The drying process involves removing moisture from the soybean meal. This is done using rotary dryers.

Refining and Bleaching

The refining and bleaching process involves purifying and whitening the crude soybean oil. This is done using degumming tanks and bleaching earth mixers.
