What is the amount of sunflower seeds required to produce 1 ton sunflower seed oil?

How many sunflower seeds are needed for 1 ton sunflower seed oil? I can't give you an exact number, because depending on the extraction method of sunflower seed oil, the sunflower seeds needed for 1 ton of sunflower seed oil are also different, if you want to know more information, please read on.

The oil rate of sunflower seeds is about 45% normally we have two methods to extract sunflower seed oil, the one is extract sunflower seed oil by oil press machine, this method have oil residual rate about 6% so if you want get 1 ton sunflower seed oil you need process 2.5 tons sunflower seeds. The another method is solvent extraction method, that is use the N-hexane to extraction oil from sunflower seeds, the oil residual rate only less 1%, so using this method if you want get 1 ton sunflower seed oil you only need process 2.2 tons sunflower seeds.

As for the first method, normally capacity from 1-20 tons per day can consider single screw cooking oil press machine, is easy to operate and suits for new beginner with smaller scale. This one can not only press sunflower seeds also peanut, coconut, cotton seeds, soybean and so on oil seeds.

The capacity more than 20 tons per day to 600 tons and bigger can consider sunflower seed oil production line. For the production line to extract sunflower seed oil normally include cleaning machine, sheller, shell separator, cooker, pressing machine and filter. Our engineer will customized project depend on different requirements from different customers. And our experienced engineers in the oil industry who can provide technical support to customers at any time.

If your processing capacity is 10-500tpd, it is recommended that you choose cooking oil solvent extraction machine to extract sunflower seed oil. The residual oil rate of the solvent extraction method is lower, which can help you save costs and gain more profits. It should be noted that the crude cooking oil after solvent extraction must be refined before it can be eaten.

The following is the process flow of solvent extraction:
The solvent extraction method , mainly includes four sections. The solvent extraction section uses n-hexane to fully mix with the oil in the extractor to extract the oil from the oil seeds. The second section is the evaporation and stripping of the solvent, which is mainly used in the pre-evaporator , the direct evaporator and the stripper fully separate the solvent from the oil. The third section is desolventizing and roasting the meal-mainly using the DTDC to separate the solvent from the meal, which is convenient for solvent recycling. The last section is the recovery of solvent, mainly should be the condenser, and the water distribution tank will recover the solvent.

No matter what your processing capacity is, we can provide you with corresponding sunflower seed oil processing machine. If you want to get higher quality sunflower seed oil, we have different types of cooking oil refining machine for you to choose.

Maximize Your Oil Production with a Reliable Edible Oil Press Machine – YZYX Type from Henan Glory

If you are planning to start or upgrade a small-to-medium scale oil milling business, choosing the right edible oil press machine is the most critical decision. One model that has proven itself in the field is the YZYX-Type oil press machine, manufactured by Henan Glory (also known as Henan Doing). This rugged, efficient screw press is designed for processing a wide range of oilseeds – from sunflower and soybean to cottonseed, peanut, and more.

In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the key components, working principle, and advantages of this edible oil press machine, and explain why it’s a smart investment for your cooking oil production line.

🏭 Key Components of the YZYX-Type Edible Oil Press Machine

The machine shown in the product images features a well-thought-out structure that ensures continuous, trouble-free operation. Let’s break down its main parts:

1. Feeding Hopper
The large feeding hopper allows steady, gravity-fed intake of raw oilseeds. You can pre-clean and adjust the moisture of seeds before feeding, which improves pressing efficiency and oil yield.

2. Automatic Electric Control Cabinet
A modern edible oil press machine needs precise control. The electric control cabinet manages the motor speed, temperature (if equipped with heating), and overload protection. This automation reduces labor costs and ensures consistent output.

3. Pressing Chamber & Screw Axis
The heart of the YZYX press is the pressing chamber combined with a hardened screw axis. As the screw rotates, it compresses and shears the oilseeds, gradually extracting oil through the cage bars. The tapered design creates high pressure, forcing oil out while forming a dry cake (meal) at the discharge end.

4. Oil Drip Pan
Under the pressing chamber, an oil drip pan collects the crude oil, directing it toward the filtration system. This simple but important feature prevents spillage and keeps your workshop clean.

5. Vacuum Filter Cartridge
Crude oil contains fine solids (foots). The integrated vacuum filter cartridge removes these impurities in real time. The result – cleaner oil that requires less refining later. This is a huge advantage for small mills that want to produce high-grade edible oil in a single pass.

⚙️ How the YZYX Edible Oil Press Machine Works

    Feeding – Oilseeds are poured into the feeding hopper.
    Pressing – The screw axis conveys the material through the pressing chamber. Friction and compression generate heat, which helps release oil.
    Oil discharge – The extracted oil flows through the cage bars into the oil drip pan.
    Filtration – Oil moves to the vacuum filter cartridge. A vacuum pump sucks the oil through filter cloths or plates, capturing fine solids.
    Cake outlet – The pressed cake (residual meal) exits from the end of the pressing chamber. It can be used as animal feed or further processed.

✅ Why Choose This Edible Oil Press Machine?

    High oil yield – Optimized screw geometry and pressure control extract up to 95% of available oil (depending on seed type).
    Energy efficient – The electric motor is matched to the machine’s capacity, reducing electricity costs.
    Easy maintenance – All wearing parts (screw bars, cage bars, filter elements) are replaceable.
    Multi-seed capability – Works with sunflower, rapeseed, soybean, peanut, palm kernel, cottonseed, and more.
    Compact footprint – Ideal for small factories, farm operations, or oil pressing workshops.

What are the products and by products in sunflower oil production process?

As we all know, the main product of sunflower oil production is crude sunflower oil. Then, what by products else are there in sunflower oil production process? How the value of them? Next, I will make some explanations one by one.

Firstly, the production method of sunflower oil can be divided into two kinds: pressing method and solvent production method. So different product and by products will be got using different methods.

Using pressing method, you can get pressed sunflower oil and sunflower seed cakes. If using solvent production method, you can obtained solvent extracted sunflower oil and sunflower seed meal. 

What are the difference of them? The selling price of pressed sunflower oil is more than solvent extracted sunflower oil. As the crude sunflower oil got from solvent production plant contains a little residual solvent, it must be refined by sunflower oil refinery plant.

But the quality of pressed sunflower seed cakes is less than sunflower seed meal got from solvent production plant, because of high oil residual oil rate. The sunflower seed meal got from solvent production plant is more suitable for making animal feed, so the selling price is higher.

Besides, in large scale sunflower oil production factory, there will be large quantity of sunflower seed shells produced in sunflower oil production process. These sunflower seed shells can be burned in boiler to provide steam or power.

The above is the brief introduction of products and by products in sunflower oil production process. Actually, there are also some by products in crude sunflower oil refining process, such as fatty acid, nigre, wax, etc. They have different usages and value.

Do you want to extract sunflower oil and get its by products? Send your requirement to us, and the sales manager of Henan Doing Company will provide you professional suggestions.
