Corn germ oil, also known as corn oil, is extracted from corn germ at low temperature and is rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic acid, which help protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.
The complete line covers cleaning, drying, flaking, cooking, screw pressing and solvent extraction of the cake, followed by refining with degumming, deacidification, decolorization, dewaxing and deodorization to produce qualified refined corn germ oil.
Huatai supplies corn germ oil equipment with full turnkey service — from process design and equipment matching through installation, commissioning and training, with the by-product germ meal sold as animal feed.
From recovered corn germ to refined, dewaxed edible oil.
Recovered corn germ is sieved with a double-layer vibrating screen to remove corn flour, grits and peelings; finer meshes reduce germ loss.
Cleaned germ is sun- or oven-dried until moisture falls below 10% to prevent oil deterioration and rancidity.
Dried germ is rolled into 0.3–0.4 mm flakes by a roller flaker, breaking the cell structure for efficient cooking and pressing.
Flakes are cooked 40–50 min until light brown with aroma; temperature reaches 115–120°C with 2–4% moisture.
Cooked flakes are fed to a screw press for mechanical oil extraction; cake discharges with low residual oil.
The cake is extracted with organic solvent; residual oil in the meal drops below 1%, raising total oil yield.
Wet meal is desolventized and dried in a D.T.D.C toaster; the meal is sold as an animal-feed ingredient.
Degumming, neutralization and decolorization remove phospholipids, free fatty acids, pigment and impurities from the crude oil.
Oil is cooled for wax crystallization, filtered, deaerated and deodorized to obtain finished refined corn germ oil.
Each system is designed and manufactured in-house under ISO 9001 quality management.
Double-layer vibrating screens and dryers remove impurities and reduce moisture below 10% before flaking.
Roller flakers and cooking pans break cell structure and condition flakes at 115–120°C for optimal pressing.
Continuous screw presses extract crude corn germ oil with low cake residual and stable operation.
Extractor, D.T.D.C desolventizer-toaster, evaporator, stripping tower and solvent recovery cut meal residual oil below 1%.
Degumming tank, neutralizer, decolorizer, crystallizer and deodorization tower deliver food-grade, dewaxed refined oil.
Engineering innovations that deliver superior performance and lower operating costs.
Solvent extraction drives meal residual oil below 1%, maximizing corn germ oil recovery.
Low-temperature extraction and gentle dewaxing preserve vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids.
Single-source responsibility from process design, equipment manufacturing to installation, commissioning and training.
Henan Huatai Intelligent Equipment Group was founded in 1988 and has grown into one of China’s major grain and oil machinery manufacturing enterprises. We integrate research and development, engineering design, equipment manufacturing, on-site installation and commissioning under one roof.
Our 100,000㎡ manufacturing campus in Hua County, Henan Province houses modern production lines with CNC machining centers, automated welding systems and comprehensive quality testing laboratories. As an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer, every piece of equipment undergoes rigorous inspection and factory acceptance testing before shipment.
We specialize in complete EPC turn-key projects covering the full spectrum of edible oil processing — from oilseed pretreatment and solvent extraction through to refining, fractionation and by-product utilization.
