Committed To Quality, Committed To You
Groundnut oil, also known as Arachis oil or peanut oil, is derived from peanut seeds and prized for its distinct aroma and flavor. Widely used in global cuisine and various industries, its market is rapidly expanding, with China and India leading consumption. With a projected growth rate of 3.96% between 2020-2025, the demand for high-quality groundnut oil and efficient manufacturing processes is on the rise. At Galaxy Sivtek, we specialize in Vibro separators for groundnut oil, and essential equipment in production plants.
Such a growing industry requires a high supply of good quality peanuts and a robust manufacturing plant that generates great quality peanut oil. Achieving the desired oil quality requires using the correct equipment at the right time. We, as Galaxy Sivtek, are the manufacturers of superior sieving and filtering equipment. In this article, we will take you through the filtration process of groundnut oil and the reason why Vibro sifters are essential in a groundnut oil manufacturing plant.
Groundnut oil processing entails two basic methods: mechanical pressure extraction, which is responsible for 85% of oil production, and solvent extraction. Here, we focus on the former method, which uses vibrating sieves.
Peanut oil production starts with the cleaning process. Groundnut is brought to the factory after harvesting. Harvested peanuts will contain whole peanuts and some with shelled peanuts. The peanuts are cleaned with a seed cleaner machine and foreign objects like leaf nodes, weed seeds are removed.
After cleaning the outer shell is removed by the dehulling method cooking is done to easily break cell walls. Some manufacturers do it without heating known as the cold press method. The peanuts are then pressed under the oil press machine to get the peanut oil.
Now at this stage, a Vibrating sieve comes into action. Manufacturers have to filter the oil in a filter press machine to get the final amount of oil, but directly using the machine can easily check the machine and cause frequent maintenance which can cost more for a manufacturer. To reduce this cost and effort industry leaders are using a Vibro sifter before the filter press to reduce the load on it and remove the oversized Fiber from the extracted oil.
While Vibro separators for groundnut oil significantly improve filtration processes, some manufacturers still face challenges. Here are some common issues and how Galaxy Sivtek addresses them:
Wrong Selection of Machine: Choosing the wrong Vibro separator for your specific application can lead to poor results. A sieving expert has to tell you which machine will be best for your application requirements. If you select a machine without consulting an expert, you may end up getting unpleasant results.
Low throughput capacity: Another major problem peanut oil manufacturers are facing is the lower throughput capacity rate. No proper machine vibration or proper lead angle arrangement can affect the capacity of the separator. A perfect sieving machine like the SIVTEK Vibro Separator is built to give you higher throughput capacity because it comprises better vibration, better lead angle arrangement, and better performance.
Mesh chocking issues: Mesh chocking is a common issue faced by many processing industries. When the material particles are trapped in the mesh opening it restricts further sieving. Hence Galaxy Sivtek’s sieving/filtering equipment comes with a mechanism to easily tackle the mesh blinding problems.
Regular maintenance: Conventional separators are prone to give you regular maintenance. Due to its low-built quality and lower-performing ability. You may have to replace spare parts regularly to keep it running on the batch. This will affect the overall process and expenses of the company. Galaxy Sivtek can provide you a robust sieving and filtering solutions that do not need frequent maintenance. The machines are manufactured to perform in the toughest processing environments.
Galaxy Sivtek has been providing high-quality oil processing solutions for more than 30 years.
