Abstract: With a method as well as a system for processing of sunflower extraction grist, particularly for obtaining proteins, wherein the particles from shell kernel parts and adhering proteins of the extraction grist are separated from one another by means of screening, a solution is to be created for processing the extraction grist of sunflowers, which occurs in the production of sunflower oil, in such a manner that it can be utilized in many different ways and, in particular, in practical manner. This is achieved, in terms of method, by means of the following steps: comminuting the grist by means of breaking it in beater impact mills (3) and/or corrugated rollers (16), screening the mixture of coarse and fine particles produced, separating the plant shells (fibers) and proteins by using water (5, 18), drying (6) the components, and pressing (8) the woody components into pellets as fuel for energy production.

Abstract: An optimal separation of sunflower seed meal into at least one fraction with high protein content and at least one fraction with high cellulose content is to be achieved with a method for the processing of sunflower-extraction meal, producing a fraction with a low protein content for use as fuel and a fraction having a higher protein content for use as animal feed, wherein the extraction meal is fed to a plurality of dissolving and extraction stages. This is achieved by—at least two protein removal steps, preferably by means of corrugated rolls or hammer blows or impact mills with impactation of the starting material in a short cycle sequence,—the subsequent sifting by means of sieves, as well as the collecting of the sifted material and the remaining coarse material.
