OUR ADVANTAGE
LIES IN EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION

MAIN STAGES OF SEEDS PROCESSING

1

INCOMING CONTROL

The company's laboratory selects seeds of the highest quality.

2

SEED CLEANING

Elevator equipment allows us to separate seeds from various impurities. Fully clean seeds are stored and further processed.

3

SEEDS HULLING PROCESS

This is the most important stage that includes the separation of the seeds from the shells to get sunflower meal of the highest quality which is the source of energy for our plant.

4

ROASTING PROCESS

The seeds are roasted at 100-110° С using customized roasting machines. Specific roasting technology allows the most effective squeezing of the pressed oil and obtaining sunflower oil cake of high quality.

5

PRESSING

Virgin sunflower oil and sunflower oil cake, used for further extraction are produced using modern pressing machines.

6

SUNFLOWER OIL CAKE EXTRACTION

Sunflower meal, which is one of the most valuable fodder components is produced at this stage.

GRANULATION
OF HULLS

This stage is aimed at the production of the solid fuel made from sunflower hulls obtained at the previous stage.

 

FILTRATION
OF THE PRESSED OIL

Filtration process allows us to further clean oil from seed particles and other small fractions.

 

SUNFLOWER MEAL
GRANULATION

The process is necessary for the improvement of the sunflower meal structure to extend its storage time and save the storage space.

 

Refining and deodorization

Allows to receive high-quality oil practically without smell and color, due to purification of crude oil from various impurity of pigments, and waxy substances.

STORAGE OF THE FINISHED PRODUCTS

The plant is equipped with modern warehouses for the storage of finished products.

QUALITY CONTROL STAGES

RAW MATERIAL TESTING We use sunflower seeds with organoleptic, physico-chemical and safety indices that meet DSTU 4694 and DSTU 7011 (Ukrainian government standards) criteria for oil production. Our lab technicians select a sample of sunflower seeds to conduct analysis according to DSTU 4601 criteria on the basis of our certified laboratory before the raw material is used in the production.
RETESTING OF RAW MATERIAL In case the sample does not comply with DSTU criteria, seed samples from each transportation unit are retested.
ANALYSIS OF THE REFERENCE SAMPLES Selected samples are kept in the laboratory for 3 months.
CONTROL OF ALL THE PRODUCTION STAGES
FINISHED PRODUCT CONTROL We conduct analysis of organoleptic, physico-chemical and microbiological indices according to DSTU 22000 and НАССР (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) standards.
LABORATORY TESTS

Certificates

We guarantee the highest production quality that meets all international standards.

The quality control stages include raw material, intermediate and finished product monitoring conducted by our certified laboratory.
