Turnkey Rice Bran Oil Milling Factory Solution for High Quality Oil

Offer Turnkey Rice Bran Oil Producing Solution

Rice bran is the main by-product of rice processing mill. Per 100kg rice can produce about 5-8kg rice bran. It is also a common kind of oil-bearing material. With the development of rice processing industry and oil extraction technology, setup rice bran oil factory is becoming a HOT project with great commercial value to invest in.

Establish of Rice Bran Oil Extraction Plant

How rice bran oil is made?​ How to start rice bran solvent extraction plant? A complete rice bran oil production line generally includes 3 sections: pre-processing, oil extracting, and oil refining.

3 Main Section of Complete Rice Bran Oil Manufacturing Factory

• Rice Bran Pre-pro​cessing

Pre-processing genrally includes the processes of screening and heating, set for making the rice bran well prepared for oil extraction, just like extraction of other oilseeds. 

The purpose of heating is stabilize the rice bran materials. There are two methods of stabilization, chemicals or using heat. Heat method causes the enzymes inside the rice bran to deactivate in 100-120℃, which is done by heat injection or extrusive cooking. Stabilization is very crucial to remove the bacteria and enzymes that cause the rice bran to get spiteful and to lower the fat acid rate.

• Rice Bran Oil Extraction Process

After specific preprocessing, the rice bran is fully stabilized and can be sent to oil extracting section. Screw oil pressing / expelling and solvent extraction are the two common plant oil making process. Which process should be choose then?

Screw Pressing: Suitable for mini or small scale oil production. (1-20ton/day production)
Solvent Extraction: To achieve higher oil yield and improve production efficiency, solvent is used in most industrial or commercial rice oil project. It is ideal choice for medium to large rice bran oil factory. (capacity can be up to 100ton/day).

Rice Bran Oil Solvent Extraction Process

Extraction by using volatile solvent is the best way for mid and large scale oil mill. Then, the extracted bran rice oil is separated from the solvent through vaporization, the best solvent to use is ethanol. The remaining rice bran waste can be used as a fodder due to its high rate of carbohydrate and protein. 

There are two outputs in this step: crude rice bran oils, and defatted rice bran meal.

• Rice Bran Oil Refining Process

Basic oil refining steps: clay compound (dewaxing), phosphatides (degumming), fat acid (saponification), dye (bleaching) and scent (deodorization).

Refining of Crude Rice Bran Oil

Refining process is set to remove the majority of free fatty acids and bran wax in crude oil, and make the oil suitable for different applications such as edible oil, biodiesel oil, food additives, etc. The crude rice bran oil will be degummed by enzymatic method, then deacidified and decolorized by enzymatic method. In some cases when processing dewaxed oil, de-waxing process is also included in oil refinery plant. Steam distillation is the last step of edible rice bran oil production. The purpose is to remove any off flavors and residual free fatty acids. In middle-large rice bran oil factory, refining plant is built to improve the quality of final oil.

In ABC Machinery, a lot of researches are done by refinery experts every time to determine the best and the cost effective plan based on each clients' situation and needs. Not only that, we are going to need to work on the best method to cut short the production time of rice bran oil, to produce the best quality rice bran oil without reducing its nutritions.

• Oil Filling/ Bottling

Package the final oil into bulk drums, food service pails or retail bottles.

Prospect of Rice Bran Oil Production Business

Rice Bran Oil is a material that can be found in the outer layerlskin of a paddy seed, that can be obtained from screw pressing,milling or solvent extraction.

Average Recovery of Rice Bran Processing Industry (estimated for the world)

• Rice to rice bran: 8% recovery
• Rice bran to rice bran oil: 15% recovery

There's a lot of nutrition and benefits that we can get from consuming rice bran oil, whether its internal or external. Rice Bran Oil contains Vitamin E, Vitamin B, Protein, Antioxidant, Fat Acid, Collagen, Elastin, Oryzanol and Ferulic Acid. Antioxidant and vitamin E is very useful to maintain heart health, by decreasing bad cholesterol rate and preventing heart attack. Bio-active component such as oryzanol and ferulic acid is considered to be useful as a functional food supply materials. Other than that, there are still a lot more benefits that you can earn by consuming or using rice bran oil such as maintaning your immune system, help in weight loss, prevent cancer, relieve menopausal symptoms and improve skin health.

From those benefits, rice bran oil is used and manufactured into various products ranging from cooking oil, to cosmetics. One of the most commonly used cooking ingredients, it is considered as one of the most useful vegetable oil that offers many advantages over standard vegetable oil. Although it is categorized as "oil", rice bran oil is completely safe to be consumed by people with heart disease, diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure.
