Unrefined Pressed Sunflower,
Rapeseed And Soybean Oil


GREENVECTOR AGRO is a Ukrainian producer and exporter of crude / unrefined pressed first-grade sunflower, rapeseed, and soybean oil extracted from seeds using mechanical pressing methods. Unlike refined oil, crude oil undergoes minimal processing, retaining more of the seeds' natural components. Due to its minimal processing and retention of natural nutrients, crude-pressed soybean oil offers a range of benefits.

A modern oil extraction plant operates seamlessly with the support of auxiliary structural units, ensuring a complete cycle of oilseed processing — from receiving and storing raw materials to delivering the finished products that consumers rely on. These essential units include:

A modern oil extraction plant operates seamlessly with the support of auxiliary structural units, ensuring a complete cycle of oilseed processing — from receiving and storing raw materials to delivering the finished products that consumers rely on. These essential units include:

Elevators

Powerful elevator complexes efficiently store and move raw materials, maintaining optimal preservation conditions

Warehouses

Advanced preparation lines streamline the initial processing stages, ensuring raw materials are adequately prepared for extraction.

Preparation Lines

Specialized warehouses store intermediate products such as meals and husks, safeguarding their quality and preventing contamination.

Liquid Storage Tanks

Dedicated bulk storage tanks store crude oils, preserving their integrity and quality until they are ready for distribution.

These integrated units support continuous and efficient production, delivering high-quality crude / unrefined pressed first-grade sunflower, rapeseed, and soybean oil products.

Manufacturing of Crude Oils

Cleaning

Purpose: To remove impurities like stones, dirt, and plant material.
Process: Seeds, such as sunflowers, rapeseeds, and soybeans, are cleaned by passing them through sieves and magnetic separators.

Dehulling

Purpose: To remove the outer husk of the seeds.
Process: The cleaned sunflowers, rapeseeds, and soybeans are cracked, and the hulls are separated by aspiration or other mechanical means.

Crushing & Flaking

Purpose: To prepare the seeds for oil extraction.
Process: The dehulled sunflowers, rapeseeds, and soybeans are crushed and rolled into thin flakes to increase the surface area for oil extraction.

Pressing

Purpose: To extract crude sunflowers, rapeseed, and soybean oil from the seed flakes.
Process: The flakes are pressed using mechanical screw presses. This step may be performed once (cold pressing) or multiple times (for higher yield), sometimes with heat application.

Filtration

Purpose: To remove solid particles and impurities from the crude oil.
Process: The unrefined sunflower, rapeseed, and soybean oil is filtered to separate solids, producing more apparent oil.
