Seed Preparation and Conditioning

One of the most important process-stages in the oilseed processing to get the highest oil yield and the best quality for your oil and cake/meal, is a proper seed preparation in the manner described below. The function of the seed preparation is to properly prepare the different kinds of oil bearing material by mechanical processes to make the oil more accessible to the subsequent oil extraction procedure by pressing and/or solvent extraction.

Preparation mainly comprises the following process stages

Fine cleaning

To remove all undesirable contaminants and impurities, like sand, stones, sticks etc. and ferro-magnetic particles which might be included in the seed by using K-TEK`s Delta-Cleaners.

Dehulling

To reduce the fibre content and increase the protein content by using K-TEK`s impact (sunflower) or disk mill (cotton) dehuller and hull separator.

Flaking

For mechanical destruction of the oil bearing cell walls, making the oil more accessible in the subsequent oil extraction process by using K-TEK`s crushing and/ or flaking mills.

Conditioning

Hydro-thermal process stage to enhance the oil extractability by using K-TEK`s vertical stacked agitated cookers or horizontal type conditioners.The most important effects: control the moisture level, coagulate seed protein and destroy moulds and bacteria.
