If you are planning to start a sunflower oil manufacturing business or upgrade your existing small‑scale mill, you have probably asked yourself:
👉 How can I get more oil from the same amount of sunflower seeds?
👉 How do I remove the dark color and impurities without expensive refining equipment?
👉 What is the most reliable, easy‑to‑operate sunflower oil production line for a small or medium factory?
After reviewing dozens of equipment options, the sunflower oil production line from Henan Glory (shown in the diagram below) addresses exactly these concerns. Let me walk you through the compact but highly efficient setup.
🧩 Complete sunflower oil process flow
From raw seeds to pure, market‑ready oil – here is how the line works step by step:
Cleaning Machine – Removes stones, dust, leaves, and metal particles. Clean seeds protect the press and improve oil quality.
Hulling Machine – Removes the hard outer shell of sunflower seeds.
→ Why is hulling so important?
The shell contains very little oil but absorbs a lot of oil during pressing. By removing the hull, you significantly increase oil yield and produce a higher‑protein cake (a valuable by‑product for animal feed).
Oil Press Machine (screw press) – Presses the hulled kernels into crude sunflower oil. The design ensures continuous operation, high pressure, and minimal residual oil in the cake.
Oil Filtration Machine – It removes fine particles and some gums, giving you clear, bright sunflower oil that can be sold directly as cold‑pressed or lightly filtered oil.
By‑product: Sunflower seed cake (after hulling and pressing) – high in protein and fiber, easily sold to feed mills or livestock farms.
✅ Why customers choose this specific sunflower oil line
🔹 High oil yield
By adding the hulling machine before pressing, oil output can increase by 15–25% compared to pressing whole seeds. Many small millers ignore hulling – that is a costly mistake. Henan Glory’s line makes hulling affordable and simple.
🔹 Stable & reliable operation
The pressing and filtration machines are built with heavy‑duty materials. Low failure rate means you spend less time on repairs and more time producing oil.
🔹 Easy operation
One worker can easily monitor the whole line after 2‑3 days of training.
🔹 Energy saving
It can consume less electricity per liter of finished oil.
🔹 Customizable capacity
From 50 kg/h to 5+ tons per day – the same basic layout works for home‑scale, startup, or industrial sunflower oil mills.
❓ Frequently asked questions (from real customers)
Q: Do I need a solvent extraction plant after pressing?
A: For high‑quality cold‑pressed or virgin sunflower oil, no solvent is needed. The hulling + press gives 90‑92% oil recovery from the kernel. If you want to extract the last 7‑8% from the cake, you can add a solvent extraction unit later. Most small customers are happy with the press alone.
Q: What color sunflower oil will I get?
A: The oil is light yellow – typical for unrefined sunflower oil. If you need fully refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) oil, you would need a separate refining station.
Q: Can I process both black and striped sunflower seeds?
A: Yes. The hulling machine can be adjusted for different seed sizes. Let the factory know your typical seed type.
Q: What about spare parts and after‑sales support?
A: Henan Glory provides a full manual, video tutorials, and WhatsApp support. Wear parts (screw press worms, filter cloths, belts) are standard and can be shipped internationally.
Q: How much space do I need?
A: The specific floor area required must be determined based on your production capacity.
