As an important agricultural crop, sunflower is widely distributed throughout the world, including Ukraine, Russia, Argentina, China's Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, and has important application value all over the world!
Sunflower seeds can provide important nutritional value for humans, providing essential fatty acids (linoleic acid accounts for 60-70% of the oil content), which is particularly important for filling the nutritional gap in low-income areas; its unique drought-resistant characteristics (water requirement is 30% lower than soybeans) make it an important cash crop in arid areas (such as South Africa); sunflower seeds are even the national flower of Ukraine, symbolizing the sun and vitality. In some rural areas of China, weddings symbolize "many children and good fortune".
A variety of sunflower seed products
Especially in the edible field, the role of sunflower is particularly important.
Sunflower seeds can be used as snacks (plain, salted, spiced), baking ingredients (bread, energy bars); they can also be made into sunflower oil, which is widely used in cooking and salad seasoning. Because of its high smoke point above 230°C, it is suitable for frying. The pressed sunflower meal contains 30-40% protein and is used in animal husbandry. It is also added to breakfast cereals and plant protein products (such as vegetarian meat substitutes).
In addition, sunflower oil can be refined into biodiesel, which is used to replace fossil fuels in some European countries. It is also an important raw material for cosmetics and industrial lubricants. As a multifunctional crop, sunflower seeds will continue to expand their global industrial chain (from high oleic acid variety breeding to deep processing) under the trend of energy transformation and healthy consumption, and may play a greater role in the fields of alternative protein in the future.
After the sunflower is harvested, how to remove impurities from sunflower seeds and obtain finished products with full grains and excellent quality is a key step!
As a manufacturer of grain seed cleaning machines with more than ten years of experience, Beibu Machinery has rich experience in sunflower seed cleaning.
This machine is a combination of 5XFZ-25 and a vibrating grading screen. It has functions such as air separation, specific gravity, and grading. It also includes a pre-grading screen, which can remove small impurities in the material after air separation, reduce the separation load of the specific gravity table, and reduce the blockage of the fish scale holes of the specific gravity table by small particles. It can remove dust, empty shells, barren grains, worm-eaten grains, straw, sunflower disc debris and other light and small impurities in sunflower seeds at one time, thereby maximizing the cleaning effect of the machine.
Product function:
Wind selection, gravity selection, screening and grading are completed at one time, which can remove 99% of impurities in sunflower seeds;
Product advantages:
1. High purity, energy saving and environmental protection;
2. Used in processing sunflower seeds, it can remove more than 90% of lighter impurities such as empty seeds, empty shells, insect-eaten grains, sunflower disk debris, etc.;
3. Maintenance-free vertical air screen structure, equipped with cyclone dust collector, clean and environmentally friendly working process, no large amount of dust leakage;
4. Reduce labor, save energy and reduce consumption.
