Sunflower Preparation

A complete solution from raw seed through the final stages of processing.

We’re constantly innovating new techniques and equipment designs for the efficient production of high-quality vegetable oil and meal from a variety of oilseeds, including the preparation required for processing sunflower seeds.

The first step in processing sunflower seeds is to properly prepare the seed for oil removal. The seed is cleaned using magnets to remove metal and screening to remove impurities that can interfere with the process. The seed can be dehulled by cracking and removing the shell or can be sent to pressing with the shell still intact. Prior to mechanical pressing, the seed is heated and dried. Mechanical pressing removes approximately half to three quarters of the oil prior to solvent extraction.
