Automated Refining Process for Rice Bran Oil: Key Steps to Enhance Purity and Comply with GB 2716 Standards

How Automation Is Revolutionizing Rice Bran Oil Refining for Food Safety Compliance

For edible oil manufacturers aiming to meet the stringent GB 2716 food safety standards, achieving consistent purity and quality is no longer just a goal—it’s a requirement. At Penguin Group, we’ve engineered an automated refining system that transforms traditional batch processing into a precision-driven, data-backed operation—reducing human error by up to 40% and increasing yield stability by over 25% in real-world trials.

The Five Core Steps of Automated Rice Bran Oil Refining

Modern rice bran oil refining isn’t about guesswork—it’s about control. Here's how our system ensures compliance with GB 2716 through five critical stages:

• Multi-stage Filtration: Removes impurities like phospholipids, proteins, and particulates using high-efficiency ceramic filters (avg. removal rate: 98.6%).
• Dehydration & De-gumming: Eliminates water content below 0.1% and removes gums via enzymatic or acid treatment—critical for preventing oxidation during storage.
• Neutralization (De-acidification): Reduces free fatty acids (FFA) from 3–5% down to under 0.1%, ensuring smoke point remains above 210°C as required by GB 2716.
• Decolorization: Uses activated carbon or clay adsorption to remove pigments, resulting in a clear, golden-yellow oil that meets visual standards for premium markets.
• Steam Distillation (Deodorization): Operates at 220–250°C under vacuum to eliminate volatile compounds without degrading tocopherols—a key factor in shelf-life extension.

Why Process Control Matters More Than Ever

In today’s global market, buyers demand traceability and consistency—not just compliance. That’s why our systems integrate Key Control Points (CCP) monitoring at each stage. For example:

These metrics aren’t just numbers—they’re proof points for international buyers who audit suppliers against ISO 22000 and HACCP protocols.

From Theory to Practice: A Case Study from Southeast Asia

A leading Malaysian oil mill implemented Penguin Group’s fully automated system in Q3 2023. Within six months:

• Product consistency improved across 12 batches (CV reduced from 7.2% to 2.1%)
• Labor costs dropped by 30% due to reduced manual intervention
• Export orders from EU and Middle East increased by 45% thanks to verified compliance documentation

What made the difference? Not just automation—but intelligent design built around real production challenges.

If you're ready to upgrade your rice bran oil refining process—from reactive to proactive—you don’t need more guesswork. You need smart technology that works as hard as your team does.
