On August 10, 2026, Henan Huatai Intelligent Equipment Group officially loaded and shipped a 100-ton-per-day sunflower oil refining and dewaxing production line custom-built for a client in Sudan. This shipment of core equipment, representing the strength of “Intelligent Manufacturing in China,” is now en route to Sudan, where it will inject new momentum into the local edible oil processing industry.

This delivery marks a significant milestone in Huatai Group’s expansion into the African market and further demonstrates the growing global competitiveness of Chinese-made intelligent equipment in the grain and oil machinery sector.

I. A Customized Solution Tailored to Sudan’s Production Needs

As a national-level “Little Giant” specialized and sophisticated enterprise and a national green factory, Huatai Group has been deeply engaged in the grain and oil equipment industry for 38 years, consistently placing technological innovation at the core of its corporate strategy.

The 100TPD sunflower oil refining and dewaxing production line now on its way to Sudan represents the culmination of extensive process optimization and rigorous factory acceptance testing. The Huatai engineering team customized the solution specifically for the characteristics of Sudanese sunflower seeds and the client’s production requirements. Incorporating multiple core patented technologies, the equipment achieves internationally advanced standards in refining efficiency, energy consumption control, and oil quality assurance, fully meeting the client’s dual requirements for capacity and high-quality sunflower oil production.

From crude oil to finished product, this sunflower oil refining equipment covers the complete process chain: degumming, deacidification, bleaching, deodorization, and dewaxing. Among these, dewaxing (winterization) is a critical step in sunflower oil refining – through precise temperature-controlled cooling, waxes crystallize and precipitate out, and are then removed by pressure filtration, ensuring that the finished oil remains clear and transparent even at low temperatures. This process is exactly what enables the Sudanese client to produce sunflower oil that meets international premium edible oil standards.

II. Independent Innovation: Breaking Through Technological Bottlenecks

In the field of grain and oil processing equipment, the core technology for large-scale sunflower seed dehulling machines was long dominated by foreign companies. Faced with this technological bottleneck, Huatai chose to pursue independent R&D and successfully achieved a breakthrough.

Key Technological Breakthroughs:

Centrifugal Impact Dehulling Technology

The R&D team innovatively applied the principle of centrifugal impact, combined with specially designed impact plates, to significantly improve dehulling efficiency while precisely controlling impact force to minimize seed damage and ensure kernel integrity.

High-Capacity, Low-Energy Design

Each machine can process 150–300 tons per day with energy consumption of just 18.5–30 kW – far surpassing the previous industry standard (20 tons per day at 15 kW). This breakthrough means clients can achieve significantly higher throughput with lower energy costs.

Robust and Durable Construction

Thickened wear-resistant steel plates and high-strength frames ensure reliable long-term continuous operation, while standard vibration-damping pads significantly reduce noise and vibration. Large access doors allow for quick replacement of core wear parts such as rotors and deflectors, minimizing downtime.

These innovations have not only filled a domestic gap but have also reshaped the competitive landscape of Chinese grain and oil equipment in the global supply chain.
