What is the difference between the Russian sunflower oil production line and other regions?

1. Core process differences

1. ‌Low temperature cold pressing technology‌

   • Russian equipment generally uses low-temperature cold pressing (<60°C) to avoid high temperature destruction of nutritional active ingredients (such as vitamin E and linoleic acid) and preserve the natural flavor.
   • In other regions (such as China), hot pressing is the mainstream process, with a pressing chamber temperature of >100°C, a higher oil yield but greater nutritional loss‌ 46 .

2. Dewaxing process mandatory configuration

   • The Russian production line is equipped with a dewaxing system (cooling crystallization tank + filter) as standard to address the problem of oil fluidity in high-cold climates and ensure low-temperature transparency ‌ 78 .
   • Tropical regions (such as Southeast Asia) often omit this step and only retain the basic refining step.

2. Comparison of equipment technical characteristics

3. Certification and Compliance Requirements

1. ‌Mandatory Certification System‌

   • Russia : The production line must pass GOST-R certification (including -40℃ cold resistance test) and EAC Customs Union certification.
   • ‌European and American markets‌ : mainly CE/NSF certification, no extreme environment adaptation requirements‌ 19 .

2. ‌Labeling and traceability system‌

   • Russian equipment must reserve a QR code label interface (new regulations for 2025) to achieve full traceability from raw materials to finished products.
