The soil and dust should be removed before leaching because the soil not only makes the mixed oil turbid but also causes the waste of mixed oil. The grass stems, grass skin and grass seeds should also be removed before leaching because these impurities can absorb oil and contain pigments, which can cause the color of the leached oil to deepen and indirectly increase the loss of oil refining.

A screw conveyor is located on the bottom right side inside the self-circulating air classifier 18, and the discharge plug of the screw conveyor is equipped with a sealing plate.
[0031] The following are specific examples.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Before screening evening primrose seeds, close valve 8 and discharge valve II 21, and turn on all equipment on the entire screening line. Then, the evening primrose seeds are conveyed into the seed hopper 1. Driven by screw conveyor I 2, the seeds enter elevator I 3. After being lifted to the highest point, the seeds are discharged into the double-layer air-screen cleaning machine 4. Large impurities (large stones, grass stems, large seeds) are screened out from the upper screen, while small impurities (sand, small stones, a small amount of soil, a small amount of turf, small seeds) are screened out from the lower screen. Dust and most of the turf are drawn away by centrifugal fan 6 and stored in cyclone dust collector 5. Centrifugal fan 6 then discharges the turf into pulse dust collector 7. The evening primrose seeds discharged from between the two screens enter elevator II 9. After being lifted to the highest point, the seeds are discharged into temporary storage tank 10. Adjust the discharge valve I11 at the bottom of the temporary storage tank to control the discharge speed of evening primrose seeds. The evening primrose seeds discharged from the temporary storage tank 10 are pushed by the screw conveyor II12 into the elevator III13. After being lifted to the highest point, the seeds are discharged into the magnetic soil separator 14. The seeds are transported from one side to the other on the conveyor belt of the magnetic soil separator (during this process, because most soil contains trace amounts of magnetic minerals such as ferrite, and iron impurities are magnetic, the high-intensity magnetic field formed by the magnetic rollers affects the movement trajectory of the soil and iron impurities in the evening primrose seeds), thus separating the seeds from the soil and iron impurities. Soil and iron impurities fall to the bottom of the magnetic soil separator 14 and are collected. Evening primrose seeds enter the destoner 15. Stones (pebbles similar in size to evening primroses) are discharged from above the destoner screen, while the evening primrose seeds enter the elevator IV 16 from below the destoner screen. After being lifted to the highest point, the evening primrose seeds are discharged into the fine screen 17. (Because the upper screen of the double air screen cleaner 4 has a mesh size of 14, and the upper screen of the fine screen 17 has a mesh size of 16) The upper screen of the fine screen 17 screens out the grass stems and seeds that were not screened out by the double air screen cleaner 4, while the lower screen screens out the small impurities that were missed during the screening process of the double air screen cleaner 4. Evening primrose seeds discharged from between two layers of screens enter the self-circulating air separator 18. After entering through the feed inlet of the self-circulating air separator 18, the seeds fall onto the damper of the self-circulating air separator 18. The air force of the self-circulating air separator 18 is controlled by adjusting the damper (9 adjustment positions). (During the process of the evening primrose seeds falling from the feed inlet onto the damper) The suction of the self-circulating air separator 18 draws grass stems and seeds of different mesh sizes (greater than 38 mesh and less than 16 mesh) into the upper part of the self-circulating air separator 18, where they impact the right side wall and fall onto the screw conveyor at the bottom. Driven by the screw conveyor, they accumulate to a certain amount, enough to open the sealing plate, and are discharged and collected in a woven bag as separated impurities. The evening primrose seeds are discharged from the outlet of the self-circulating air separator 18 into the elevator V19. After being lifted to the highest point, the evening primrose seeds are discharged into the finished product tank 20. The entire process of screening the evening primrose seed raw materials is completed.
[0034] It should be noted that the screw conveyor, elevator, compound air screen cleaner, cyclone dust collector, centrifugal fan, pulse dust collector, magnetic soil separator, destoner, fine screener, self-circulating air separator, and other machines used in this invention can all adopt existing technologies.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
