Oil yield from 1 ton of soybeans

Soybean oil is a valuable product obtained from the processing of soybeans. However, oil yield depends on several factors and process characteristics that must be considered. Let’s look at the main aspects that affect the yield of oil from 1 ton of soybeans.

Basic oil content of raw materials: The oil content of soybeans affects the oil yield. The greater the oil content of the raw material, the greater the yield of oil can be obtained. In soybeans, the oil content ranges from 15-25%. The higher the oil content, the greater the potential oil yield.

Soybean Moisture: Soybean moisture also has an effect on oil yield. Typically, the optimal (for processing) soybean moisture content is around 8%. Deviation from this value can lead to a decrease in the yield of vegetable oil.

The BRONTO base line, specialized in soybean processing, is capable of processing 1 ton of soybeans per hour or 24 tons per day. With such a processing capacity, one can expect the production of 70-170 kg of oil per hour or 1680-4080 kg per day.

The oil separator plays an important role in soybean processing. It helps to separate solid impurities, called caving, in the amount of 1-2% or 10-20 kg per hour (240-480 kg per day). In addition, another 0.25-0.5% of jelly-like impurities, known as fuzz, can be removed by settling or filtering, amounting to 2.5-5 kg/hour (60-120 kg/day).

Thus, the output of oil from 1 ton of soybeans for storage or shipment is from 57.5 to 145 kg per hour or from 1380 to 3480 kg per day.

Considering all these factors and the characteristics of the soybean processing process, it is possible to more accurately assess the yield of oil and provide optimal conditions for obtaining a quality product. BRONTO has experience in this field and can provide the necessary technologies and equipment for the efficient processing of soybeans and obtaining high quality soybean oil.
