Sunflower

Sunflower is an oilseed crop widely grown for edible oil, animal feed, and birdseed. During sorting and cleaning, common challenges include removing stones, dust, broken seeds, and foreign material. Variations in seed size, weight, and moisture content can reduce cleaning efficiency, making careful processing essential for producing high-quality sunflower seed.

Sunflower seeds scattered on a white background, with some shells open showing the kernels inside.
