There are two methods to get this, one is hard pressing and another one is pressing solvent extraction. In hard pressing, a very high amount of pressure is required for pressing seeds to prepare sunflower oil from solid seeds. From hard pressing, nearly 25% of oil is retrieved from the seeds. In the pressing solvent extraction method, a medium amount of pressure is required to separate oil from the seeds. About 40% of oil is recovered from seeds by this process. The pressing solvent extraction method is used in a typical sunflower crushing plant. The first step is cleaning of seeds and drying which is located in the seed accurse section. After that seed storage is d...
