Global edible oil manufacturers are pursuing continuous, low-loss, high-clarity refining processes to boost oil yield and extend product shelf life. Traditional separation methods including static sedimentation tanks and frame filter presses suffer from long processing cycles, high oil loss, frequent filter media replacement, and incomplete removal of gums, soapstock and free water, which severely restrict the quality and economic benefits of refined vegetable oil. Three-phase disc stack centrifuges adopt density difference centrifugal separation principle, realizing one-step simultaneous separation of oil, water and solid impurities under sealed continuous operation. This paper elaborates the working mechanism, structural advantages, standard refining process and multi-scenario application value of industrial three-phase disc centrifuges in vegetable oil production. Compared with conventional separation equipment, automated disc centrifuges deliver higher separation efficiency, lower
