Oil refining equipment is a device used to convert raw vegetable oil or animal fat into refined oil. The following are the steps and precautions for correctly operating oil refining equipment Before operation, a series of preparatory work needs to be carried out. Firstly, check if the equipment is in good working condition. Ensure that the equipment is clean and inspect its physical components, such as seals, pipelines, and valves. Cleaning equipment is very important because any pollutant can have a negative impact on the quality of the oil

Adjust the equipment to the appropriate temperature and pressure.

. The temperature depends on the type and quality of raw vegetable oil or animal fat used. Different types of oils may require different temperatures and pressures to achieve better refining results. Ensure that the equipment is adjusted according to the raw materials used Oil heating transfers raw vegetable oil or animal fat to a heater for heating. The heater can be heated using steam, heat transfer oil, or electric heating. The purpose of heating is to reduce the viscosity of oil and make it easier to handle After heating, remove impurities and transport the grease to the impurity removal equipment. Impurity removal equipment can use different methods to remove impurities, such as steam cooking, acid washing, and acid cleaning. These methods help to remove plant residues, particles, pigments, and other impurities, in order to improve the quality of the final product

After removing impurities, the oil enters the deacidification device.

. Deacidification is to remove organic acids from oil and reduce the adverse effects of acidity on the final product. A commonly used method is to use a deacidification device with an alkaline solution to neutralize the acid as a neutralizing salt and remove it in precipitation After decolorization and deacidification, the next step is to remove the pigment from the oil. The methods of decolorization include activated carbon adsorption, alcohol solvent decolorization, and decolorization agent adsorption. These methods can effectively remove pigments from oil and improve the appearance and quality of the final product After deodorization and discoloration, there may still be odor in the oil. In order to remove odors, the oil needs to undergo deodorization treatment. The commonly used method is to use steam deodorization. Basically, fats come into contact with steam at high temperatures, evaporating the volatile components, thereby reducing odors
