Turna Yağı, one of Turkey's leading edible oil manufacturers based in Gaziantep, selected Polat Industrial engineering and S Series Decanter Centrifuge technology to impeccably separate organic residue and suspended solids from crude press oil prior to refining in its sunflower oil production line.
The primary goal of the project was to establish a fully automated line architecture that minimizes manual intervention, operates continuously 24/7, and transfers oil to the refining process in its purest form—thereby lowering operating and maintenance expenses.
Technical Process and S Series Decanter Engineering
Following engineering, installation, and commissioning processes executed in an exceptionally short timeframe, the Polat Industrial S Series Decanter integrated into the line delivered high performance and stability in the sunflower oil pressing process:
Instant Separation via High Centrifugal Force: Even the finest sediment particles within the press oil are instantly fractionated under high G-force, securing a pure and homogeneous product feed to the refining plant.
24/7 Fully Automated and Continuous Operation: Operating seamlessly around the clock without requiring operator intervention, the system guarantees uninterrupted, high-yield line operation.
Process Reliability and Stainless Execution: Featuring high-strength stainless steel construction and an intelligent control architecture, it delivers uninterrupted performance under demanding industrial conditions.
Key Deliverables and Added Value
Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Overall plant operational efficiency was maximized, substantially boosting the performance and throughput of the refining unit.
Superior Oil Purity: Target minimum solids levels in pre-refining oil purity were fully achieved, setting an exceptional quality benchmark.
Sustainable Line Architecture: Reliance on manual labor was minimized, establishing a fully automated, continuously operating, and sustainable production line.
