BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS FLOW

Soybeans are cleaned using a cylindrical primary cleaner, magnetic separator (with permanent magnets) and vibrating cleaner to remove large and small inclusions and iron impurities. After that, the cleaned soybeans are sent by conveyor to the huller to remove the fruit shell, which will subsequently increase the protein content in soybean meal by 3%. Then the dehulled soybeans are sent to a toothed roller crusher, where they are crushed into 4-6 parts, after which the crushed material is fed into a vertical conditioner for softening and tempering. Tempered soybeans are more plastic, which has a positive effect on the subsequent flaking process in the flaking mill. The thickness of the soybean flake (chips) is 0.3 mm. Then the soybean chips are expanded using an expander followed by tempering in a cooling dryer to the required temperature and humidity for effective solvent extraction. At the final stage, the product is sent to the extraction workshop using conveyor equipment.

Additional Information

We supply similar soybean plants with higher capacity (up to 1000 tons/day and above), as well as combined options that also allow the production of white flakes (food-grade defatted meal) as raw material for the production of soybean concentrate, isolate, etc.
