  • What kind of machine is used to extract the oil from the sunflower seed?
  • One of the most commonly used method for sunflower oil making is mechanical pressing with screw oil press machine. This methods is relatively simple, features low cost and doesn't require chemical solvents, so it is widely adopted by many medium and small scale cooking oil production line.
  • How much oil can be extracted from 1 kg of sunflower?
  • 1 kg of sunflower seeds can produce 1/1.398 litre of sunflower oil 0.71 liter of sunflower oil 715 ml of sunflower oil under ideal conditions. Explanation: The amount of oil that can be extracted from any oil seed depends on the amount of oil that a particular batch of oil seed contains.
  • How to extract oil from sunflower seeds?
  • As you probably already know, plant-based oils can be extracted via an expeller press (i.e. mechanical extraction) or by solvent extraction. The former is a more traditional process- it produces a higher quality oil whose nutritional value remains intact; but this process gives a relatively low yield.
  • How many sunflower seeds to make 1 litre of oil?
  • The oil type sunflower seeds, which are used for extraction of oil, contain about 38 to 50% oil and about 20% protein. In other terms, 1.398 kg of sunflower seeds can produce one litre (1 lit) of oil.
