  • How are seeds prepared for oil extraction?
  • Unit operations for preparation of seeds for oil extraction vary slightly depending on the physical properties and oil content (Figure 1). However, most oilseeds go through the process of cleaning, drying dehulling, size reduction, flaking cooking and tempering.
  • What factors affect the design of oilseed handling facilities?
  • Physical properties of the seeds, such as size, shape, bulk density and flowability affect the design of oilseed handling facilities. For example, canola, rapeseed, delinted cottonseed, soybean and sunflower have very good flowability. They are usually stored in vertical cell-like storage bins.
  • How are oilseeds shipped?
  • In the United States, oilseeds are shipped like any other grain, either in railroad cars or trucks, and received at elevators. Physical properties of the seeds, such as size, shape, bulk density and flowability affect the design of oilseed handling facilities.
  • How to maximize the output of oilseed hulls and kernels?
  • To maximize the process output of oilseed, grain and pulses, you need to separate hulls from their kernels efficiently. Bühler offers a wide range of dehulling and hull separation processes which you can tailor to your product.
  • Which product separator is best for soybean dehulling?
  • The cylindrical cascade lightweight product separator OLSA offers easy operation and precise hull separation. It can handle high throughputs of soybeans in warm and hot dehulling. The TopHusk separator can process up to 120 tons per day, helping to create high yields. It has an automatic feed control.
  • Can you use a grain dryer for oilseeds?
  • Large, vertical, open-flame grain dryers can be used for oilseeds as well. These dryers have multiple columns of oilseeds which slowly migrate downward. The upper portion of the column is used for drying and lower section is for cooling. The amount of hull on oilseeds varies significantly.
