Core Components of Edible Oil Production Line
1. Raw Material Pretreatment Equipment
- Cleaning systems (destoners, magnetic separators)
- Shelling and hulling machines
- Crushing and flaking equipment
- Cooking and conditioning units
Key Consideration: Equipment selection must match oilseed characteristics (soybean, palm, sunflower, peanut, etc.) and moisture content.
2. Oil Extraction Equipment
- Expeller presses (screw press technology)
- Solvent extraction plants
- Cold press equipment for specialty oils
- Oil filtering systems
Key Consideration: Balance between extraction efficiency, residual oil content, and operating costs.
3. Oil Refining Equipment
- Degumming and neutralization systems
- Bleaching equipment
- Deodorization units
- Winterization equipment for high-linoleic oils
Key Consideration: Product quality requirements and target market standards determine refining complexity.
4. Packaging Equipment
- Filling machines (bottles, pouches, tins)
- Capping and labeling systems
- Date coding equipment
- Cartoning and case packing machines
Key Consideration: Packaging format, production speed, and automation level requirements.

- Manual or semi-automatic packaging line
Medium-Scale Production Line (50-200 TPD)
For established processors meeting regional market demand:
- Automated cleaning and dehulling system
- Multi-stage screw pressing or solvent extraction plant
- Continuous refining line with degumming, neutralization, bleaching and deodorization
- Automatic filling and packaging line
Large-Scale Production Line (200+ TPD)
For industrial processors serving national and international markets:
- Complete automated pretreatment section
- High-capacity solvent extraction plant
- Full continuous refining with dewaxing/winterization capabilities
- Advanced packaging line with quality control systems
- Wastewater treatment and byproduct processing systems
