Rice Bran Oil Making Process Introduction

1. Rice Bran Oil Making Machine Process flow:

Rice Bran→Cleaning→Rice Bran Separation→Softening&Tempering→To Expansion→Drying & Cooling;

2.Main Equipment Introduction of Rice Bran Oil Making Machine :

1) Magnetic Selection: Cylinder Magnetic Selector is mainly composed of the shell, rotary door, and      

    magnetic core. The magnetic core consists of shunt umbrella hat, magnetic ring and magnetic core

    cylinder. The materials will fall down from the upper flange mouth, homodisperse fall through a shunt

    umbrella hat, during this process the mixing iron impurity will be quickly attracted by the magnetic ring,

    thus separated with the oil material. The Cylinder magnetic selector has the advantages of running

    without electric power, saving energ, and ease-maintenance.

2) Bran&Chaff Separation: The Bran&Chaff Separation is mainly achieve by Chaff &Bran Separation

    Sieve. For the rice bran is mixed with broken rice, fine broken rice, and sometimes even the integrity

    rice mixed in for the sieve damage or poor assembly reasons. So if they were not separated out, it will

    accelerate the abrasion of the extruder. What's more, the broken rice contains many starch, this will

    lead the problem of the failure of pressure formation. This separation sieve has four layers screens, this

    is equivalent to two screens yield, with the characteristics of large output, good separation effects.

3)   Softening: The Vertical Softening Pot consists of several layers of super-posited pots, each layer of

       the pot structure of is basically the same. They all have the edge and bottom laminated sandwich,the

       steam enters through the sandwiches to heat and soft the material. There has a vertical axis through

        the center of each layer of the softening pot, and each layer of the pot has two paddle stirring wings,

        which are fixed on the vertical axis, the paddle stirring wing stirs the materials. And each layer of the

        pot has bed opening and each bed opening has an automatic flow controlling gate, through controlling

        the blanking quantity reach the goal of controlling the height of the material height. Meanwhile, each

        layer of the sidewall of the pot body has the exhaust pipe, the exhaust pipes are connected to the

        exhaust collector, thus to drain the evaporating steam in the process of softening.

4)   Extrusion/Puffing: The tempered rice bran will be extruded by the extruder in order to strengthen the

      extrusion effect. The oil material will be extruded, kneaded, sheared, pressurized, and under the

      effected of a series of wetted the gushed steam and friction functions, the oil material's cell has been

      completely destoried, the oil will be fully exposed. At the end of the extrusion screw, the material

      pressure and temperature is very high, the high pressure and temperature material get out of the

      hydraulic die head will expand and the moisture of the material will evaporate quickly for the sudden

      release of the pressure, then we can get the loose, porous and high strength extrusion materials.

2. De-solventizing Process Procedure:

  The solvent wet meal will be sent to the DTC de-solventizer pre-desloventing layer by the air lock, the bottom part will be heated by the indirect steam to removing part of the solvent; the pre-deslovented wet meal will go into the de-solventizing layer, the de-solventizing layer set self-control thus to keep a certain material layer, the bottom of the material will be passed through the direct steam to remove all the solvent. At the same time, part of the steam will condensate in the meal, the moisture of the meal will increase partially. The de-solventing meal will fall into the drying layer by the rotary valve de-watering after the wet meal into the evaporation layer, evaporation layer set automatic control to maintain a certain material layer, the bottom into the direct steam remove all at the same time, solvent, part of the steam condensation in the meal, meal moisture will increase. Agglomeration by rotary valve quantitative fall into the drying layer, the drying layer hold a certain material level, thus to continue the water removing process, and then the material will be cooled at the cooling layer. Finally the material discharging will be controlled by the automatic self-control door, and the discharging material will be sent to the meal library by meal scraper.

5. Extraction Process Technology Advantages:

   5.1The mixed oil adopts two-stage impurity removal treatment. The strong mixed oil will firstly go into

         the first cyclone separator to remove the bigger meal powder, and then go into the second cyclone

         separator to continue the secondary impurity removal. The mixed oil Basic does not contain solid

          impurities separated by the cyclone separator, the relative clean mixed oil which has been

          separated by the cyclone separator will be pumped into the mixed oil temporary storage tank for

          further sediment, the sediment in the bottom of the mixed oil tank will be pumped into the extractor

          by the slag pump;

  5.2 The secondary steam of the condensate water tank will be used for the waste water pre-heating thus

        to reduce steam consumption;

 5.3 Collecting all steam of the extraction plant and pumping into the boiler room for secondary use, the

       spent water exhaust heat can be used effectively thus to save plant production water.

  3.1 Decoloration Technology:

       Adding high-efficiency activated clay to the oil, heating under vacuum condition to heat adequately, so that the pigment solid tiny particles suspended in the oil can be adsorbed on the clay grains, then being filtered by the blade filter. This system has perfect arrangement, reliable performance, high configuration main equipment -- decolorizer and leaf filter, thus can guarantee the high quality of the Oil's decoloration and separation.

    This Technology has the advantages of the following:

    1) In the process of decoloring. the clay and oil will be mixed under vacuum circumstances, this avoids

       the effect of air, thus the clay has higher using rate and better decolorization. At the same

       decolorization effect, the clay consumption will be lower;

    2) Auto-weighing the clay addition ratio accurately according decoloring needs, accurate, automatic  

       metering;

   3) The mixing process makes all clay particles can be contacted with oil;

   4) The temporary storage tank of decoloring adopts negative pressure, this can avoid the oil and air

       contact effectively, so that the quality of the intermediate products and terminal products more stable;

   5) The decolored oil will be filtered in aright-right stainless steel filter filter, the residual oil of the meal is

        low, the operation is easy and the equipment's failure rate is also low.

3.2 Deodorization

         The process of rice bran oil's deodorization is the combination of flash and delay, which is the result

    of our company's new rice bran oil refining development technology through many years practice and

    research for many years in the field of rice bran oil refining. The processing of this technology goes like

    this: The qualified decolored oil will be heated to the deodorization temperature by pot,Through the high

   vacuum internal, the oil will recycle fully in the pot, thus to achieve the purpose of deodorization.

  3.3 Dewaxing & Winterization Section:

    Dewaxing is an important segment of improving edible oil quality . The existence of wax is mainly it can affect the oil's palatability, so the main purpose of dewaxing is to improve the palatability of oil, grease and improve the oil's sensory properties such as transparency and brightness.Different oil's wax content is different, the rice bran oil's de-waxing is essential. Due to the different oil's crystalline nature is different, the crystallization rate, temperature, crystal growing time and filtering method also has bigger difference.
