Abstract

The work is devoted to the study of technology and experimental equipment of the technological line for deep processing of seeds of castor beans to castor oil for the production of oils for agricultural machinery and fodder oil cake.
Castor oil is a strategic raw material as used in many sectors of the economy, particularly in agriculture. All existing methods of processing the seeds of the castor oil plant can be divided into two methods of extracting the oil from seeds: mechanical extraction of oil, called by extrusion and dissolution of the oil in volatile organic solvents, or extraction method. These two methods are used in the technology of production of vegetable oils, either alone or in combination with one another.
For conditions of small-scale production in the article the operationally-technological scheme of processing of castor seed two-time pressing with fundamental differences from the existing technologies of processing of castor seed. Resexcellence proposed technology of processing of castor beans by the method of double pressing for conditions of small-scale production is different from the known technologies that it involves the use of a number of additional technological operations such as: calibration of seeds, husk, the husk pneumoseparation and purification of pressed oil by electro-flotation.
According to the operationally-technological scheme for processing castor seed is defined the name of equipment and quantity that you need to acquire and which will provide the appropriate level of production. Summarizes all processing modes in the processing of castor seed for castor oil with the proper equipment. By adhering to relevant technological modes of processing, will receive castor oil, quality indexes which will meet the requirements of DSTU 6757.
Proposed basictrain technology made it possible to develop a generic technical description of the mini-plant on processing of seeds of castor oil plant technical castor oil and feed meal, which is the initial requirements during project development, such a plant and determining the financial and commercial viability of small-scale enterprises.
