To make sunflower oil from sunflower seeds, there are several sunflower oil processing steps you should know. First, remove the shells of sunflower seeds because the shells will increase the residual oil rate. Then through a series of equipment processing, the sunflower seeds can be adjusted into the best condition. At last, use sunflower oil press machine to make sunflower oil or use sunflower oil pre-press machine and solvent extraction plant to extract sunflower oil.

Next, I will introduce two sunflower oil processing methods usually used in sunflower oil factory: pressing method and solvent extraction method. They have same processing steps in sunflower seeds pretreatment section, but the pressing section and solvent extraction section are different.
