Technological Innovations [Data Source: Bayannaoer Sunflower Seed Association]
- Intelligent Parameter Adjustment:PLC control system automatically adapts to raw material moisture (±12% accuracy).
- Multi-Stage Sorting System:Combined cyclone separator + vibrating screen, ensuring kernel content in hulls ≤0.03% and hull content in kernels ≤5%.
- Energy-Saving Design:Pulse dust collector ensures dust emission ≤10mg/m³ (meets international environmental standards).
V. Profit Calculation Model for Dehulling Processing (Sunflower Seeds as Example)
- Basic Cost Structure (KTF5-3000 Processing Oil-Type Sunflower Seeds)
- Raw Material Cost: ¥2.6/kg (Xinjiang oil-type sunflower seeds)
- Processing Cost: ¥0.5/kg (including electricity, labor, andequipment depreciation)
- Hulled Kernel Selling Price: ¥4.2/kg (Grade 2 after grading)
- Profit per kg: ¥4.2 – ¥2.6 – ¥0.5 = ¥1.1/kg
- Large-Scale Profit Magnification (100 Tons/Day Processing)
- Daily Profit: ¥1.1/kg × 200,000 kg = ¥220,000
- Annual Profit: ¥220,000 × 300 working days = ¥660 Million (based on 80% equipment utilization rate)
- Pumpkin Seed Processing Profit Case [Data Source:BayannaoerSunflower Seed Association ]
- Raw Material Cost: ¥7.0/kg (Inner Mongolia pumpkin seeds)
- Processing Cost: ¥1.2/kg (including color sorting and grading)
- Hulled Kernel Selling Price: ¥15/kg (organic certified)
- Profit per kg: ¥15 – ¥7.0 – ¥1.2 = ¥6.8/kg
