Corn Oil Factory

Corn oil fctory generally means complete corn oil processing plant. If you want to open a corn oil factory, you should have professional oil processing technology apart from relating quality oil processing machinery.

Corn oil is such a useful oil that is less expensive, has a milder taste and higher smoke point than other vegetable oils making it attractive as a cooking oil. Corn oil is also a key ingredient in some margarines. The extracted meal is also very useful. It is suitable for making enhanced animal feed rations, snack food, blended food products, cosmetics, and fermentation broth additive, especially being used as a component for animal feed (20% protein content).

Corn oil processing in the entire corn oil factory starts with corn germ, which is the embryo of a corn plant, distinct from the starchy nutrients in the endosperm. The oil content of the germ is about 85 percent of the total oil in the corn. The first step in corn oil factory is mechanical pressing: Corn kernels are dehulled and then crushed with a grooved roller to break down the cell walls. The resultant cake is then "wet milled", steeped in water acidified with sulphur dioxide to separate the components of the seed.

The complete corn oil factory generally includes the steps of cracking corn grain having a total oil content of from about 3% by weight to about 30% by weight and extracting a corn oil from the cracked corn grain. The corn oil is useful for making nutritionally enhanced edible oil or cooking oil, lubricants,biodiesel, fuel, cosmetics and oil-based or oil-containing chemical products. The extracted corn meal is useful for making enhanced animal feed rations, snack food, blended food products, cosmetics, and fermentation broth additive.
