Oil and fat
The oil and fat industry is one of the key components of Ukraine's agro-industrial complex. Its strategic importance for the country's economy cannot be overstated. Our country holds leading positions in global sunflower oil production and export. During processing of oilseed crops such as sunflower, soybean, and rapeseed, 15-20% waste is generated in the form of hulls, not including byproducts like cake and meal. Previously, disposal of these materials was a serious problem for industry enterprises and created additional financial costs for storage and transportation.
Today, the most optimal and efficient solution to this problem is pelletizing technology. "UKRBIO TRANS-SERVICE" offers comprehensive technological lines that transform oil and fat production byproducts into valuable commercial products. Cake and meal after pelletizing become high-quality livestock feed, while production waste becomes environmentally clean biofuel with significant heat output.
Features and Advantages of Pelletizing in the Oil and Fat Industry
In conditions of high competition in the oil and fat products market, producers seek ways to optimize technological processes and transform problematic waste into sources of additional profit. Pelletizing technology from "UKRBIO TRANS-SERVICE" creates a number of key technological and economic advantages for industry enterprises:
-
Significant increase in raw material density — sunflower hull volume decreases 8-10 times, meal volume decreases 2 times, substantially reducing transportation and storage costs;
-
Obtaining highly marketable products — pelleted meal and cake have increased demand in the feed market, while hull pellets are valuable biofuel with high calorific value;
-
Extended storage life — pelleted meal stores up to six months, unlike loose form, does not cake, and retains all nutritional properties;
-
Improved production conditions — no dust during transportation and pelletizing, low hygroscopicity of finished products, safe storage;
-
Environmental responsibility — the enterprise meets environmental legislation standards for waste disposal, reduces negative environmental impact, and strengthens positive image.
Implementation of "UKRBIO TRANS-SERVICE" pelletizing technologies gives oil and fat enterprises the opportunity to transition to waste-free production and obtain an additional source of profit without significant capital investments.

Technological Solutions for the Oil and Fat Industry
"UKRBIO TRANS-SERVICE" has developed comprehensive technological solutions for the oil and fat industry that enable efficient processing of various types of byproducts:
-
Meal preparation for further processing — increases oil extraction efficiency, reduces residual oil content in the product, decreases solvent consumption, and enhances production productivity. PSP pellet mills are optimally suited for this process, ensuring production of porous, durable pellets at the required temperature.
-
Sunflower meal pelletizing — processing loose meal into valuable commercial products that take up half the storage space, are easier to transport, and retain their properties longer. The comprehensive line includes hammer mills for raw material preparation, PSP pellet mills, and PSP-C coolers for finished product stabilization.
-
Sunflower hull pelletizing — processing waste into high-quality biofuel with high calorific value and low hygroscopicity. The line includes special hammer mills, PSP pellet mills, PSP-C coolers, and screens to ensure finished product purity.
-
Soybean and rapeseed straw pelletizing — processing post-harvest residues into fuel pellets with calorific value of 16.8-18.8 MJ/kg. For this process, the company offers complete equipment from grinding to packaging of finished products.
UKRBIO TRANS-SERVICE equipment is highly reliable and capable of processing various types of raw materials, allowing quick adjustment of production to meet market demands and the specific needs of each enterprise.
